Is this reference to Gilda as the daughter of Stella Zerbini, her birth name, AKA "Mimi" Zerbini? If so, Mimi said at the time of Gilda's tragic burning and death in 1975, that Gilda was a cousin. To my knowledge, Stella/Mimi had only two children then, Rebecca and Charlie. Much later, she married Stan Penny, and I believe they had twins. Perhaps this could be clarified for us.

Yes Roger Mimi's birth name

is Stella named after her aunt

that had passed away and Gilda

was the daughter to Aunt Stella

and Uncle Jean Bervoux

Mimi's first 2 children by her

first husband Mike Lightfoot are

Kimberly & Charlie (named after

her father) and has 3 children

with her current husband Stan

Penney named Roman and the twins

(I'm embarrased that i can't

remember their names)

Je recherche le nom de mon petit cousin qui est le fils de gilda Bervoux décédée en 1975. Je m'appelle Bervoux Geneviève, mon père BERVOUX Gabriel était le frère de BERVOUX Jean et Gilda était donc ma cousine.
Nous avons quelques photos du cirque.
Nous n'avons jamais connu son fils car nous habitons en France
Je souhaiterai tellement le retrouver
