Hawthorne high school was also home to The Beach Boys in the 1960's.

She married her husband Bruno, on the 29th of April in 1978. On the 9th of November in 1983, the two welcomed a son, Damian Maurice. When Damian was 8 years old, he inspired one of her children's stories, entitled, Nicholas and The Magical Wind,. The story, which is based on a little boy who has trouble falling asleep at night, was meant to aid her son in his own experience with the problem.
