completely free to be my own person, and to dress in my own

I'll probably be very similar."

was done fairly. (shifting in her seat) "And it was very
sore as well." (joking) "I`ve grown up to quite like
that."

rough-around-the edges Wilbur, who often would stop whatever he
was doing to shoot a stream of tobacco juice into a paper cup,
pamper his daughter the way other stage parents did. LeAnn has
told many people that he sometimes spanked
her with a belt if she tried to avoid rehearsing with him. He
heatedly denies this, telling me in his letter that he spanked
LeAnn only "for mouthing off and being
extremely disrespectful, mostly to her mother."

Apparently Maxene was the only one of the sisters who was

room with the door closed and she would come up and spank me
later.
Maggie Gyllenhaal -

Melanie
Brown - In her biography, Catch a Fire, the British
singer talks of the strict West Indian upbringing she had from
her father. She explains how he suddenly went from being
easygoing to a strict disciplinarian, and the two reasons he
gave. One, that her mother was too soft with her, and two, that
if he didn`t discipline her she`d end up hanging around street
corners smoking fags and kissing boys. Melanie said her mother
would apply an instant smack when she misbehaved, but her father
would tell her she`d done wrong, and give her a time and place,
sometimes days ahead, when she`d be punished. She goes on to
explain the ritualistic and atmospheric aspect to her
punishments, how she`d walk into a quiet room, bend over, and be
spanked by her father with his hand or a belt. Her father would
sometimes give her a double punishment and count aloud the spanks
if she`d misbehaved twice that week. She also describes the nervy
days building up to her punishments, and how she would wake each
day feeling edgy and thinking - three days to go, two days to go,
and so on.

likely her sister Mijanou was too.

O`Hara - According to a tabloid article scan sent to
SF&R - from a 1970s issue of The National Enquirer - which

and teachers. She is quoted as saying: `There was no sparing of
the rod in my family`, and Maureen, born in Dublin and the oldest
of six children, said that her father applied discipline with his
razor strop on occasions, and said of the strict catholic schools
she attended in Ireland: `We got whacked` by the nuns when they
misbehaved.

S. Simon directed the picture, and one day I got into a fist
fight with his daughter who was working as an extra. That was the
only fist fight I ever got into as a kid. We got into some
disagreement - I forget what it was about - and our parents
pulled us away. I got a spanking, and she got sent to a boarding
school when she got home (laughs). Then years later we became
real good friends, and she turned out to be one of the sweetest
girls I ever met.
Martina
Navratilova - The Czech/American former world number
one tennis player admitted in her biography that while growing

and spank her, and sometimes he used a ruler. She recalls her two
biggest spankings, one for going to her friend`s house after
school without telling her parents and arriving home late when it

day when she walked into a class and down the aisle to her seat,
the priest warned her that she was `switching,` this meaning that
he thought she was rolling her behind from side to side. The
priest then told her to walk down the aisle again, and after she
did-so he said that she was still doing it. She was then told to
come to the front and asked to hold out her hands and was whacked
on the palms with a ruler in front of the entire class.

after being caught skipping school.

Nothing to Hide, the American international skier recalled being
spanked by her father while growing up. She said: "When I

to Dad. Then I'd stand with my toes on this line in the kitchen,
bend over, touch my toes, and get whacked." 
Poppy
Montgomery - The Australian actress was caned at her
private school in Australia, but not it would seem in the
conventional way. In the April 2005 issue of Stuff Magazine Poppy
admitted to being a rebel at school and giving cheek to teachers,
which resulted in her expulsion from six private schools, and
receiving a thrashing from one teacher across her backside with a
feather duster, some of which are made from bamboo cane. So not a
conventional school cane, but a bamboo duster would have had very
similar results.
Piper Laurie - In a Photoplay Magazine
article, November, 1955, the American actress said of her father:
"He is a strict disciplinarian. I think his means of
discipline gave me a sense of values I would never have had
otherwise. His ways of showing me how to discipline myself have
helped me to take what ever success I may have attained and not
let it throw me. Even now, if I ever get carried away, he's there
to level me off. I had my share of spankings, but I never
regretted any. I can't ever recall once being spanked when I
thought I was being unjustly punished."
