MOTHER'S DAY SPECIALS! SHOW ME MORE
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.
'My Mama, Cass is a daughter's 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 Cass's millions of fans. The spotlight is back on my friend, and it's 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.” Library Journal
