the documentation says one thing--we were twins,
and one was born fifteen minutes before midnight
and the other was born fifteen minutes after.
I celebrate my birthday on April 18, but all
of my documentation says I was the one born on
April 19. So there is [chuckles] some confusion
there. I was born to Margaret Cameron Landowska,
who was [a] Scot, came from Inverness, Scotland.
She met my father, Jacob [pronounced YA-kob]
Landowska, in Paris. She was dancing. I believe,
they call it more of a seco madonna of the ballet,
she was with Sadler' s Wells [Theatre] .

here.
