Fiona Apple Greek Theater Facts and Information
Fiona Apple is a affiliate of a family rich with roots in amusement. Born Fiona Apple Murphy Maggart in New York City, she is the descendant of singer Diane McAfee and actor Brandon Maggart. Her older sister, Amber Taleullah, sings cabaret under the stage name Maude Maggart. Her brother Spencer is a director and directed the video for her single "Parting Gift." Her half brother Garett Maggart starred in the TV series The Sentinel. In addition, her maternal grandparents were Millicent Green, a dancer with the George White's Scandals, a flapper-era group similar to the Ziegfeld Follies, and Johnny McAfee, a multireedist and songster of the big band era; her grandparents met while touring with Johnny Hamp and his Orchestra.
At the age of 12, Apple was raped upon returning home from school to her mother's apartment. The rape is mentioned subtly in some of her work, but is not unavoidably a major theme.
While the media latched onto the story of her dark past understanding, making her what Apple referred to as "the poster child for rape," the singer says the only reason she even mentioned the rape to an interviewer was because she didn't want it to seem like incredible of which she should be ashamed.
As a child, there was concern she had anti-social tendencies, as well as obsessive-compulsive disorder. She underwent therapy as a child after telling a childhood friend that she was going to kill herself as well as her older sister Amber when she was 11 years old. This encouraged several therapy sessions which eventually led her to believe that there must actually be incredible wrong with her if she required therapy.
