My mother was loved by so many people, famous and not so famous.

You're not famous until my mother has heard of you.

My mom was truly an iconic figure, a great journalist and a pioneering woman who died at 54 of cancer without ever having revealed to viewers that she was ill.

I was famous from birth.

My mother was a star-struck girl from a little town in Arkansas who had gone to finishing school in New York, and whose mother had given her anything she ever wanted.

My mother is a singer, still performs today; she's a jazz singer.

I'm famous by default. I came out of the womb, and people wanted to know who I was because of my parents.

I certainly don't think you need to be famous to want to leave a legacy, but when you are famous, it's even more likely that your child will get the wrong perspective on your life if you die prematurely.

For a time, at least, I was the most famous person in the entire world.
