About Glenn Miller's Children...


In reality, didn't Glenn never meet his daughter? On his page it talks as if she was adopted just shortly before he disappeared and he never had a chance to meet her. Yet in the movie they introduce her to the little boy as his new baby sister and Glenn is present at that time.

. . . that's the movies for you . . . apparently the adoption was finalized after he left for Europe . . . and he never did see her . . . I guess he trusted the wife . . .

The implication in the movie is that they were their natural born children. If I hadn't read these comments, I wouldn't have known otherwise.

Absolutely not. I just watched and the scene where Mrs Miller introduced him to "your daughter". It was totally obvious she was adopted.

Wherever did you get that idea? I think you'd better watch the movie again - and stay awake this time.

reply

The little boy's name was Stevie. Isn't there a Steve Miller Band? I thought of that when they kept calling him Stevie.

reply

I myself used to think that Glenn's son Steve and the Steve Miller Band were one and the same!

I have since learned otherwise.
