My Mama Cass - New Biography by Cass's Daughter Owen Elliot-Kugell

Alternate title:

"A Ham Sandwich vs. Me: Guess Which My Mother Loved More?"

Cass hated that name..

Mama Carcass

By all accounts a very nice woman with a great voice.

She was surrounded by horrible people but she was better.

Owen! Get me a Diet Pepsi! With ice in it!

While this doesn't sound like a terribly interesting topic, I hope there's a section in there about how John & Michelle were awful to her mother & she's glad Michelle is being punished via her crazy jesus freak daughter

If Cass Elliot was alive today, would she be like every other asshole ex-hippie boomer today: a raging Trumpster reveling in her ignorance and stupidity.

Love Mama Cass. She was charismatic and fun, with a touching voice that held both joy and vulnerability.

From the Ed Sullivan show in 1970. Exactly how stoned was Michelle Phillips that night?

Owen has just taped an episode of California Preaching to plug the book.. At one point Owen is talking about the first time Cass sang with Elvis and a church choir and Chynna chirps in that at that moment Mama Cass (who was Jewish) must have felt the holy spirit come over her. A look comes over Owen's face that says "This bitch is crazy, but I've got a book to sell."

[QUOTE]John & Michelle were awful to her mother

I'd never read about Michelle being awful to Cass. I've read they were friends and Michelle remained in Owen's life after her mother died. I'm pretty sure I read that here in DL.

You bitches would be all over Cass, treating her like Chrissy Metz.

R11, Cass’ relationship with Michelle must have been wounded when Michelle began fucking Denny, who Cass lusted after.

Michelle is a delusional asshole. At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, she said class would be there in a designer skinny dress. Wtf. They - all of them could never shut up about her weight. Maybe if people could have shut up Cass wouldn’t have been on so many drugs to shut their shitty words out. Chyna is also an asshole. As for this book, what could the kid know? She was a baby when Cass died.

Robert Caro never met LBJ yet he's considered his definitive biographer. Pretty much it's usually only ghost writers for celebrity or VIP autobiographies who have extended access to their subjects.

♪ And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass ♫

Cass’ kid is no journalist. It’s a for $$ book.

The book will not be released until May of 2024.

Cass was phat!!

I think it should be released on Mardi Gras.

Does anyone know who bought the film rights? Asking for a friend...

Owen Elliott (her surname at the time) was the fourth member of the singing group Wilson Phillips but left the group before the girls hit it big time.

What was the name of the group before she departed?

The inbreds and the rednecks

😂🤣

[quote]What was the name of the group before she departed?

the Pop-Tarts

Did she or Did she not choke on a ham sandwich?

She did not, r27.

I probably wouldn’t read it.

I’ll read it.

Loved her voice and charm...and that little dancing from side to side.

^ Unaware of their provenance and significance, Casey DeSantis bought the boots at a garage sale. "They're perfect for Ron and the same size!"

R22 R23. Regarding Owen Elliot..."Wilson Phillips" started as "The Wilsons" with Carnie and Wendy Wilson, daughters of Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys. Chynna, Michele Phillips' daughter, joined The Wilsons in 1986 and the group became "Wilson Phillips." Owen Elliot, Cass Elliot's daughter, was invited to also join the group, but she declined to pursue a solo career.

Wilson Phillips released their debut album, Wilson Phillips, in 1990. Their debut single, "Hold On," hit number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart on June 9, 1990. The single was also number one on the US Billboard Adult Contemporary and became a hit in several other countries; peaking at number two in Australia, number six in the UK, number seven in Ireland, number 10 in Sweden, and number 15 in the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland. The single also won Wilson Phillips the Billboard Music Award for Hot 100 Single of the Year for 1990. The second single, "Release Me", spent two weeks at number one. Their third single, "Impulsive, became another top ten hit, peaking at number four on the Hot 100, while fourth single "You're in Love" hit number one in the US for one week. The fifth single, "The Dream Is Still Alive", peaked at number twelve on the Hot 100.

Hi Chyna 🖐🏻

R28, But, her daughter admits that there was an uneaten ham sandwich found on her nightstand that her assistant had prepared and left there for Cass.

What a low life. What exactly is he famous for? Has he any sort of education or ability to speak coherently? I seem to remember him wanting Mark Zuckerberg to give him %1 billion because he was in debt... He needs to do an honest day's work.

I have no idea where r36 intended to post, but it sounds interesting...

R37 No idea how it got in here...it's the closest that guy will ever come to real musical talent is to being accidentally being inserted into a thread on Cass Eliot.

It's a hard choice, if you want your book to be widely read and be a huge financial success, the obvious title is "Ham Sandwich."

If you are respectful and love your mom, it's trickier.

Chyna at r10 is Mother God. What a flake.

Mama Elliot had beautiful teeth

R5 Owen is close to Michelle and Chynna, and Michelle helped find info about who Owen's father turned out to be, and arranged for them to meet, so yeah while the Michelle/Denny thing hurt Cass AND John, Michelle grew into more of an Earth Mother role over the years.

why is this woman's name China?

"Ladies and gentleman, you all know the most fantastic lady of the now sound, the inimitable Miss Mama Cass."
