When she was a newborn, his celebrity’s biological parents placed her for adoption. Because their occupations meant more to them than raising a child, the star’s birth parents didn’t want her when she was born. Up until the truth was revealed, the actress’ adoptive parents had been lying about her background. The French Hospital in Los Angeles, which is now defunct, was the hospital where the future celebrity was born on May 8, 1964. The actress was adopted by Barbara Crane and Paul Gilbert, who took her in when she was just 24 hours old.
Jonathan, her younger brother, was also adopted by the couple. Barbara was a twentysomething actress whose career was cut short, and Paul was a stand-up comedian, actor, and dancer who began as an aerialist with a family circus from Buenos Aires. Barbara and Paul parted ways when the young child was six years old, but his daughter remembered him with affection, saying:“I have never known a more brilliant, energetic, humorous, loving, and fair person than my father.”
