A birth mother and her daughter reunite just in time
Hollywood actress Karen Black gave up a newborn daughter to adoption in 1959. For five decades the two knew nothing about each other. But strict adoption laws could not break their inborn mother-daughter bond.
When the state finally opened the sealed records, Diane was amazed to discover that her birth mother was the actor whose unconventional beauty had captured the zeitgeist of the '60s and '70s cinema. Karen starred in some of the decades' prominent films including Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, The Great Gatsby, Airport 1975, and many more.
Their reunion was healing and bittersweet, because it came at a pivotal moment: Karen was battling cancer.
