Born Foster Anderson, her father, Robert M. “Red” Anderson was a close friend of showman Buffalo Bill. Her mother, Ellen Luckie Anderson was from a wealthy and prominent Atlanta family.
She attended Piedmont College, Georgia, and was expelled in 1904.[1] She then attended Kidd-Key Womens School, a finishing school in Dallas. She moved to New York City in 1909 where she lived until 1915. There she married Deems Taylor the composer in 1910. The marriage ended in divorce in 1918. While in New York, she became a successful writer of short stories which were published in national magazines from 1910 to 1913.
She then traveled to Europe in September 1915[2] where she remained until 1918, writing articles and reports for the London Daily Mail. As a war correspondent she suffered shell-shock from a visit to the British trenches in France in 1916.
She was a lover of the novelist Joseph Conrad[3] who used her as the model for his heroine, Doña Rita, in The Arrow of Gold 1919.[4]
In 1922 she returned to Europe as a correspondent for the International News Service and Hearst Newspapers.
In October 1934 she married a Spanish nobleman in Seville, Count Eduardo Alvarez de Cienfuegos, and settled with him in Spain. The Spanish Civil War (19361939) broke out on July 17, 1936 and Anderson covered the struggle for the London Daily Mail, reporting from the Falangist side. On September 13, 1936 she was captured and imprisoned by the Republican side,[5] held as a fascist spy, tortured and sentenced to death. However, in October 1936[6] her release was secured by the intervention of U.S. Secretary Cordell Hull and the State Department assisted her return to the U.S. Her experiences in Spain moved her political allegiance to the far right. She wrote[7] and lectured[8] on the Spanish Civil War to promote the Nationalist cause of Francisco Franco, who eventually won the war with German and Italian military assistance.
She returned to Spain in 1938, worked for the Falangist Spanish Ministry of Propaganda[4] and came to the attention of the Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft, German State Radio, who offered her a post in Berlin in 1940.[9]
Hmm. Well, all good things had to come to an end.
She can’t be any worse than that other British correspondent reporting from the falangist side, H.R.’Kim’ Philby
