June: I certainly appreciate your kind words. I write bios to find out about the heart & soul of someone whose work I've admired, or whose life has been a stand-out for whatever reason. For me, Robert Taylor fit both of those qualifications, & proved to have carried out a solid, family-oriented lifestyle ... taking part in the raising of three wonderful children to adulthood (the 3rd, his step-daughter, Manuela, wasn't there when I took this photo).

What a lovely family photo. You book has been a revelation in more ways than one in joining Robert Taylor's fans together in such a fantastic website. So glad to a member.

Thank you Linda, it is nice to know that Terry and Tessa have visited the site. I hope Ursula
gets better. As for their publicity, i understand

Bryan: Terry's seen the site & is happy w/it, & he & Tessa have given their blessing. Ursula's not well. As for a recent photo ... for starters, they're not in the same area of the country--Terry is on the east coast & Ursula & Tessa on the west coast. I'll be honest, none want to be publicly noticed or noted these days. They're happy their dad/husband is being celebrated & getting the attn he deserves all these years later, but they don't want their lives in any way publicized. If that changes, if a photo becomes available, I'll post it. In the meantime, I can post shots of Terry from a # of yrs ago & will do so in the next few days ... but from what I've seen--Terry hasn't changed a lot, & I was startled last year to see how very little Tessa had changed since last I saw her. Clearly good genes--the woman doesn't look like she's aged a bit so a current photo would be much like seeing the one that's posted here. ; >

Hi Linda,
Any chance of getting permission from Terry/Tessa/Ursula to get a photo of them recently to put on the site? Do you know if they have visited your website?
regards
Bryan

Truly a lovely family, inside as well as out. I feel privileged to have gotten to know them. Tessa's a sweetheart & to this day (I saw her last year) as beautiful as in this photo, taken well over 10 yrs ago. Hardly no make-up when I saw her! She doesn't need it.

Terry's a good-hearted man w/an excellent work ethic, & a gentleness about him which I imagine is reminiscent of his dad. Continues to be handsome & according to Tessa, "looks more & more like Daddy every day."

Bob & Ursula had a solid home life & made sure their kids grew up w/a sense of grounding & real-life home living. Bob didn't like the limelight, especially in "later" years when he became a father, & never had his kids thinking he was anything special ... except that, in their eyes, he was special because he was their father.

Tessa Taylor,his daughter looks just like Bob.
It is a tender and wonderful family.
If Bob lives, how be glad!

What a gorgeous family, I wish he could have seen you now.. I spoke to a man who worked on the ranch before Roberts death, he cant say enough nice things about the family, and especially Robert who he sais was always a gentleman in every way, and treated everyone the same.. what a loss. Donna.

What a wonderful picture of Robert Taylor family. He is my favorite actor and I just read Ursula book of Life Before, With and After Robert Taylor. It was wonderful to get an inside look at him during their marriage.
