[edit] Origins

Hi. Re Stephen Gaghan: He was absolutely NOT born in Louisville, Ky. He was born in Phila., Pa., where his father--my brother, Steve, grew up. Am I certain? You'd better believe it! I used the same obstetrician and same hospital as Betty (Stephen's mother) did for the birth of my own son five months later. And a right schmuck he was, too! (I'm referring to the obstetrician, not to either of the offspring.) Stephen's grandfather was newspaper columnist and theatre critic for the DAILY NEWS and VARIETY, Jerry Gaghan. Up until the mid 'sixties, his name would have been a household word in Phila. (Born 15-16 years after my brother, I was always known as 'Jerry Gaghan's little girl'--not something to be envied.) Steve (my brother) died too early of Hodgkins. He was a bit of a polymath--articulate, musical and with the proverbial steel trap mind for numbers--but perhaps his good looks and easy charm made everything a bit too easy. Who knows? After Steve's death in 1980, I lost all touch. Our family didn't--well, let's avoid euphemisms--much like Betty. (On hearing that Betty had joined an Art Appreciation course, my mother--a bitch in her own right--commented, "Now she can discuss Picasso and the PTA in the same tones of breathless enthusiasm...") Let's be kind and say it was a Yankee/Southern thing. I hope that Stephen (known as "Stevie" at one time) is a helluva lot happier than he was when I knew him (slightly) as a kid.

I go to the high school he graduated from years ago, Kentucky Country Day. Unless he explicitly lied on his admission form, he was in fact born in KY. And as you have no citation or source, as of now, his birthplace shall remain as KY.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.130.206.2 (talk • contribs) 04:13, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
