Simmons Named Daughter After Streep's Sophie
|
KISS star Gene Simmons named his daughter after Meryl Streep's character in Sophie's Choice.
The rocker admits the drama, which tells the story of a Polish immigrant, affected him greatly - because his mother, Flora, was herself an immigrant to the U.S.
And Streep's emotive portrayal in the movie inspired him to name his now 17-year-old daughter Sophie.
He says, "I wept uncontrollably when I saw it. It's my mother's story, although she never talks about it. I know she used to cut the Commandant's hair for food scraps - she was only 14."
