Gail Buckley Biography

Gail Lumet Buckley is the author of two books and a contributor to many periodicals. She is the daughter of Holly wood’s first black star, Lena Home, and she was married to the famous director, Sidney Lumet. Buckley grew up in a privileged black middle class family that paved her entry into the elite society of the rich, famous, and politically connected. Despite the obvious benefits of such a lifestyle, including an Ivy League education and world travel, Buckley was not immune to racism in America. In 1986 she published her first book, which chronicled her family’s history along with the story of the black middle class in America. Her second book, published in 2001, is a history of African-American involvement in the American military.
