Terry Huntingdon Tydings’ memoirs are informed by her varied, multilayered careers: After reigning as Miss California, and Miss United States of America, she worked as an actor in the motion picture and television industries. Modeling assignments took her to New York and Europe. She was a free-lance photographer with the United States government, and a staff member on Capitol Hill for California’s Senior Senator, Alan Cranston. Following her marriage to United States Senator Joseph Tydings, she became immersed in the world of politics, co-chaired and chaired fund-raising events in our nation’s Capitol, and served as scheduler for Senator Gary Hart’s 1984 Presidential campaign. In 2011 she enrolled in The Writer’s Studio at Stanford University, and was quickly immersed in her life-long passion of writing. She is currently adding finishing touches to her second memoir, Fire In The Head, which she occasionally puts aside to focus on a work of fiction. A fifth-generation Californian, Ms. Tydings lives in a century-old cottage overlooking the sea.
