My Mama, Cass: A Memoir by Owen Elliot-Kugell Hardcover Book

Description: My Mama, Cass by Owen Elliot-Kugell A long-awaited, myth-busting, and deeply affecting memoir by the daughter of legendary rock star "Mama Cass" Elliot. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A long-awaited, myth-busting, and deeply affecting memoir by the daughter of legendary rock star "Mama" Cass ElliotTo the rest of the world, Cass Elliot was a rock star; A charismatic, wisecracking singer from Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inducted band, The Mamas & The Papas; A legend of Laurel Canyon, decked out in her custom-made Muumuus, glittering designer jewellery, blessed with a powerful, instantly identifiable singing voice which helped define the sound of the 1960s counterculture movement.In the nearly 50 years since Cass Elliots untimely death at the age of 32, rumours and myths have swirled about, shading nearly every aspect of her life. In her long-awaited memoir, Owen Elliot-Kugell shares the groundbreaking story as only a daughter can tell it.In My Mama, Cass, Owen pulls back the curtains of her mothers life from the sold-out theatres and 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 Owens paternity to Casss lifelong struggles with self-esteem and weight, to rumours surrounding her mothers death, Owen illuminates the complex truths of her mothers 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.Featuring intimate family and archival photos as well as interviews and memories from famous friends, fans, and colleagues who loved and respected Cass, this book is both a love story and a mystery, a tale of self-discovery and a daughters devotion. At its core, My Mama, Cass is a beautifully crafted testament befitting of Cass Elliots enduring cultural impact and legacy, written by the person who knew and loved her best. Author Biography Born six weeks before the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, Owen was seven when her mom died suddenly. Growing up with her aunt and uncle in Los Angeles, she met husband Jack Kugell at 19. They reside in the San Fernando Valley area with daughter Zoe, 22 and son Noah, 19. Review My Mama, Cass is a daughters search for the mother she lost. In these pages, Owen Elliot-Kugell reconstructs who Ellen Naomi Cohen really was, which is not an easy task, as the woman who became Cass Elliot was a very complex person: unimaginably talented, independent, loving, warm, and completely dedicated to her one and only child. She brings her mother back to life for herself and for Casss millions of fans. The spotlight is back on my friend, and its great to see her again.- Michelle Phillips of The Mamas and the Papas "A unique perspective from the daughter of a rock star. A fresh glimpse into the manipulative music business, which demanded ceaseless hard work, personal sacrifices, and a determined focus on glittery celebrity."
