Has anyone been able to find information on her father Mike’s background? I have been trying but to no avail.
Try William Michael Lawson, born 1942, North Carolina. I think that may be her father. He’s quite a bit older than his mother if this is him. He goes by his middle name, apparently.
Thank you. I found that name when I did a google search and it did say that he was from North Carolina. I will keep researching to see what I can find.
Yeah, beyond that, I can’t find anything on him, but perhaps you can. It’s a good place to start, at least. But, yeah, it looks like he goes by his middle name which is why it’s been initially hard to find anything on him, at all. I’ve run into that with a few celebrity relatives, here, some who use even more wildly different names than their birth names.

Please don’t link to people’s private facebook pages.
Sorry :-(
Such a strange rule to have, here, particularly when you link to personal photos from these social media sites all of the time for reference/evidence.
These are public sites, and they give you an option to keep your profiles private. But it’s certainly not an invasion of privacy in any sense when you’ve literally signed up on a searchable public website.
Sorry follers. The page was very easy to find with a quick search on facebook.
Maggie is often compared to Alicia Silverstone, who is half Ashkenazi Jewish. I wonder if Maggie has any Jewish heritage.
I think Thresa Marlhal’s birth name might have been Theresa Bradley. https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/sources/9KKX-8XH
