Fiona Mackintosh was born in Summit, New Jersey in 1957 to British parents. When she was 6 years old, her family moved to Scotland where Fiona was educated, gaining an M.A. in Politics at the University of Edinburgh. After three years as the Publications Manager of the Liberal Party in London, she became a television current affairs researcher with the influential British political discussion program, Weekend World. In 1987, she moved back to the US and lives in suburban Washington D.C. with her husband. She is a proud step-mother and grandmother.
