Actress Swoosie Kurtz was the daughter of decorated WWII bomber pilot Frank Kurtz. Her father broke many records during the war, and the family ended up moving frequently after she was born, as many military families do. After appearing on “The Donna Reed Show” at seventeen, Kurtz has gone on to appear in many different TV shows. Her longest role was as Alex Reed Halsey on NBC’s “Sisters.”

The lead singer of “Alice in Chains” grew up in a separated family. His father was in the Army, fighting in Vietnam, when Jerry was born, and his parents eventually divorced when Cantrell was seven years old. The song “Rooster” was written as a tribute to Jerry Sr., who Jerry Jr. didn’t even meet until he was already three.
