Cass Elliot's daughter Owen Elliot-Kugell has admitted that she is 'grateful' for the 'crazy' rumor that her mom died while eating a ham sandwich. Cass, also known as Mama Cass, was a member of the singing group The Mamas & The Papas. In 1974, at the age of 32, Cass tragically died but her rockstar legacy continued on and her passing left fans with an unusual memory - one that her daughter Owen, now 57, sought to quash after becoming frustrated with the whirlpool of rumors that surrounded her mom's death. While gossip that Cass had passed away because she choked on a ham sandwich heightened, Owen became determined to 'discern fact from faction.' Now, the daughter of the legendary songstress has confessed that following a long healing journey, she has learned to find humor in her mom's memory and how she came to accept it.

Mackenzie Phillips may be regarded as a 'nepobaby' today,' according to the author.' She was born into music royalty, her father was The Mamas & The Papas frontman John, and his mother, Susan Adams, was his first wife. However, the 64-year-old actress-turned-drug counsellor made her name by appearing in hit movies and television shows throughout her long Hollywood career. It's likely that it would be her heroin that would stifle her rise to fame, leading to her dismissal twice from her hit sitcom One Day At A Time (center). She made news in 2009 when she said in her book, High On Arrival, that she and her father (left) had a 10-year incestuous relationship that would divide her family. In addition, her personal life has been tumultuous. She's been married three times, most recently to Keith Levenson (right).

Mackenzie, 64, has spoken with Chynna, 55, about the 10-year incestuous affair with their father, The Mamas & the Papas frontman John. Mackenzie, the niece of John and first wife Susan Stuart Adams, made a bombshell confession in her 2009 book, High On Arrival, claiming that her father assaulted her on the night right before her wedding to Jeff Sessler. But, she said, the sex was consensual for nearly a decade as her life began to spiral out of control on drugs. Mackenzie characterized her father as 'dark,' and also revealed that she had been trolled online for 'having mercy in her heart,' but "giving doesn't mean that I co-sign or accept what I'm forgiving... him for.'
