Mother of singer Chynna Phillips. Mother of Austin Hines and Aron Wilson. Grandmother of Jamison Baldwin. Mother-in-law of actor William Baldwin. Was married to Dennis Hopper for 8 days. The wildly popular Mamas and the Papas 60s pop/folk group ("Monday, Monday" and "California Dreamin'" were their biggest hits) was comprised of Michelle and her husband at the time, John Phillips, along with 'Mama' Cass Elliot, and Denny Doherty. Michelle was temporarily kicked out of the group after it was discovered she was fooling around with the other 'Papa' (Doherty), whom Cass had a crush on. The fans, however, missed her and she was soon brought back, but the damage had been done and the group wasted no time in splitting up. Stepmother of actress Mackenzie Phillips. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 (as a member of the Mamas and the Papas). Ranked #23 on VH1's 100 Greatest Women of Rock N Roll
