Helen is still going strong, with regular appearances in television and films.

Fact: Helen saw the 9/11 attacks from her New York apartment. Three days later, she took her entire staff with her and they all flew to Connecticut for safety.

The popular group “Jackson Five” was made up of Tito, Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael. Their first four singles (“I’ll Be There,” “The Love You Save,” “ABC,” and “I Want You Back”) reached the number one spot on the Billboard charts. This was a record in music-business history back in 1970. The singles were released within a nine-month period and “I’ll Be There” was at the number one spot for five weeks.
