SCOTTIE FITZGERALD SMITH (1921–1986) was the only child of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. She worked on the staffs of Time and the New Yorker and wrote for the New York Times and the Washington Post. Smith considered The Romantic Egoists her ultimate tribute to her parents.

The late JOAN P. KERR (1921–1996), a founding editor of American Heritage magazine, was a specialist in American art and photography.
