LYNNE PALMER------CELEBRITY ASTROLOGER

Lynne Palmer was in Mobile, Alabama making an appearance at a department store for an autograph signing and was interviewed by Leesa Kersh. The interview appeared in the Mobile Register newspaper on May 23, 1984 in the "Living Today" section. The interview consisted of many topics but, also, contained the names of many celebrities that Lynne Palmer has as clients. Near the end of the interview, Lessa Kersh stated, -----" Lynne Palmer " a celebrity herself---"

I never thought of myself as a celebrity, although I had appeared on local, national and international television shows as well as been written about in many newspapers in Chicago, Boston and New York City. Early in my career, I dated Joe. E. Lewis, the comedian (a friend of Frank Sinatra) and was in many syndicated gossip columns (Walter Winchell, Ed Sullivan, Earl Wilson, Hy Gardner, Louis Sobol etc. ) .

In New York City, February 10, 1989, I drove up in a limousine with two well known singers--Ruth Brown and Chuck Jackson, for the premier of the movie "Tap" with Gregory Hines. I walked the Red Carpet, which was roped off separating the public from the celebrities. I heard a voice in the roped off section point at me and asked “Who is that person?". A reporter answered, "That is Lynne Palmer, the astrologer." I was shocked to hear that a reporter knew who I was.

One time, in New York City, a reporter called and wanted to interview me for a newspaper article. I asked, "How did you get my phone number?" He responded, "I called the Celebrity listing and was given your name.”

Gary Williams book "The Miracle Workers" was published in 2018. One entire chapter consisted of his interview with me. The chapter title is “Lynne Palmer---Astrologer To The Stars." Gary Williams book "The Foreseeable Future--The Mystery of Precognition" was published in June 2019 by a United Kingdom, publisher, who asked me to write the foreword. There is a chapter of an interview with me titled "The Stars Impel." In that chapter he called me "The Celebrity Astrologer."

I have been an astrologer since 1957 and have done the horoscopes of many celebrities. In all of these years, I never thought of myself as a celebrity but, after the two Gary Williams books, I started thinking about the past activities that may have led me to be called a celebrity such as: the Mobile Register newspaper interview, walking the Red Carpet, the television shows, the books of other authors that I am in (notably Helen Hayes and Anita Loos book "Twice Over Lightly," and " Miss Rhythm: The autobiography of Ruth Brown, Rhythm & Blues Legend. " Also "The Life of Jacquelyn Susann" by Barbara Seaman (with photo of me with Joe.E. Lewis and the forecast by me of Jacquelyn Susann's horoscope).
