His father who is the same age as your mother, is named Tom Mix! His uncle was Hal Kenneth (another old movie star) and his aunt was Gloria Swanson!

She did get a pain killer for a terrible birth she had, the baby died. She said she got 'twilight dawn' and it's what the Queen Mother used to use when she gave birth. <br /><br />Anyway, happy birthday to your Mum and look forward to hearing more about the festivities.
