But to Owen Elliot-Kugell, she was just Mom. In the nearly fifty years since Cass Elliot's untimely death at the age of 32, rumors and myths have swirled about, shading nearly every aspect of her life. In her long-awaited memoir, Owen Elliot-Kugell shares the groundbreaking story of her mom as only a daughter can tell it. In My Mama, Cass, Owen pulls back the curtains of her mother's life from the sold-out theaters to behind the closed doors of her infamous California abode. Born Ellen Naomi Cohen, the woman who was known to the world as Cass Elliot was decades ahead of her time: an independently minded, outspoken woman who broke through a male-dominated business, a forward-thinking feminist, and a single parent who embraced motherhood from the moment Owen entered the world. From the closely guarded secret of Owen's paternity to Cass's lifelong struggles with self-esteem and weight, to rumors surrounding her mother's death, Owen illuminates the complex truths of her mother's life, sharing interviews with the high-profile figures who orbited Cass, as well as never-before-heard tales of her mother and this legendary period of American history."-- $c book jacket. 941 $a 7 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240716012838.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702030028.0 952 $l OCPA943 $d 20240620010508.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240611031635.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20240606010059.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240604011903.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240604011323.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C90D89D2223711EFB457909958ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
