The S.B. Questionnaire: Lynda Millner

I first met Lynda Millner 15 years ago when I ran my café in Summerland. She was the alluring, self-assured lady who would show up early in the morning, already dressed up, to order a cappuccino and linger in the front porch with her dog and handsome husband, Don Seth. She always seems to be enjoying life, and doing so with elegance.

Lynda has been covering Santa Barbara’s social scene for the Montecito Journal since 1996, and this dame is indefatigable. At every event I attend, she’s always there first with pen, pad, and camera in hand — a 21st century answer to Hedda Hopper, with silver hair, high heels, and lots and lots of confidence. A former model, she also conducts makeover seminars on cruise ships and for corporate groups.

She took time away from her glamourous life to answer the Proust Questionnaire.
