When it comes to Alice Cooper’s children — Calico, Dash and Sonora — the apples didn’t fall far from the tree. All three of the rockstar’s kids with his wife Sheryl Goddard are involved in the entertainment industry.
Alice became a dad when his daughter Calico was born in May 1981. A few years later, his only son, Dash, arrived in June 1985, followed by his younger daughter, Sonora, in December 1992.
As kids, they joined the “Poison” singer on the road but when they were at home, the trio was raised like other children their age. “We had such a normal upbringing. We had chores and normal kid allowances straight out of the gate,” Calico told Sirens of Cinema in 2008.
Over the years, they have each performed with Alice in different capacities, with Calico appearing as a dancer and actress, Dash opening for his dad’s band and Sonora starring as three characters in her dad’s show.
Away from the stage, Alice is “a normal, fun-loving dude.” Dash told Music Existence in 2018, “When my dad’s home and off tour, we’d be sitting on the couch at his house watching golf. We’ll go to the movies together or out shopping.”
As a father, the Hollywood Vampires crooner says he has fun with his kids but can also be stern. “I can be a liberal parent, I can be permissive and I can be very strict,” he said. “They’re all pretty hip kids.”
Here’s everything to know about Alice Cooper’s children: Calico, Dash and Sonora.

Alice and Sheryl welcomed their daughter Calico Cooper on May 19, 1981.
When Calico was 1, Alice and Sheryl moved their family from Beverly Hills, Calif., to Paradise Valley, Ariz., where they set down roots.
Alice noticed his daughter’s penchant for storytelling early on.
“Calico, when she was 7, could talk her way out of a sunburn,” he told The Arizona Republic in 2018. “I would listen to the creative way she was talking herself out of something she was obviously guilty of. And I would go, ‘Oh, that’s really good. That’s really creative how she came up with that.’ ”
As a sophomore at Arcadia High School, Calico channeled that creativity into dance, joining a company in which she competed nationally in jazz, acrobatics and tap.
She got the chance to show off her skills to an even larger audience at 16, performing as a clown in her father’s “Rock ‘N’ Roll Carnival” tour. “I’ve been in [my dad’s] show since ’97,” Calico told Sirens of Cinema. “At the beginning … there were these evil, twisted clowns in masks. I would beg him, ‘Dad, let me be a clown tonight! … and he would let me go on.”
For Calico, it was a dream realized. “Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to be up on stage,” she told the outlet. “I wanted to have that command of so many people like my dad had.”
Alice eventually offered his oldest daughter a more permanent spot on his 2000 “Brutal Planet” tour. “He came to me and said … ‘I’d like to put you in the show. You’re a great dancer. You’re a great actor. And we need somebody to put some new life into these characters,’ ” Calico remembered.

She stayed on for the rocker’s “Psychodrama” tour, which she also helped choreograph and direct alongside Broadway director Rob Roth. Eventually, around the age of 30, Calico switched gears and explored an acting career.
“When I got home from 11 years of touring, I said, ‘OK, I need to know how to get a job,’ she explained to The Arizona Republic. “So I got a job at a coffee shop and walked around asking actors, ‘Hey, what is the best acting class in Los Angeles?’ ”
Calico went on to enroll in classes with acting coach Ivana Chubbuck. “I started out being an extra on 7th Heaven,” she recalled to the publication. “I would work all day for 50 bucks. I was a barista. I was a waitress. I worked in retail. … I wanted to earn it.”
In addition to starring in several film and TV projects, including a 2015 reboot of Hawaii Five-O and the 2020 series Infectious, Calico expanded her creative horizons into music.
In 2012, she accepted an invitation from Alice Cooper bassist Chuck Garric to join his new band with Chris “Brother” Latham, Beastö Blancö, which Calico describes as “Natural Born Killers set to music.”
“I …thought … my parents have succeeded in this. … ‘I’ll never be able to do it on that level,’ ” she told The Arizona Republic of her initial hesitancy to join. “It wasn’t until Chuck presented the idea of doing something that was so different from what they’ve created that I went, ‘Oh, oh, it’s not a competition.’ ”
The group released its first album in 2013 with Calico as its new co-singer. Kinetica, the band’s fifth studio album, was released on July 26, 2024.
As with her father, Calico’s music is a family affair: The video for Beastö Blancö’s 2024 single “Lowlands” was filmed by the singer’s husband, Jed Williams. The couple married in October 2015 in Hawaii.

Alice and Sheryl’s only son, Dashiell “Dash” Coop, was born on June 3, 1985.
According to Dash, he experienced his father’s musical influence early on. “At a young age, I was exposed to so much music,” he told Music Existence. “Every day was a different musical genre.”
As he grew, the budding musician began to acquire his musical interests. “I developed my own taste, and started writing my own music,” Dash explained.
He told Rock Hard’s Jay Conroy that his dad was “very instrumental in … encouraging me to write my own stuff.”
By the sixth grade, Dash also began experimenting with what his mom called his “Broadway voice” to Arcadia News in 1998.

In 2010, Alice and Sheryl’s son graduated from Arizona State University with a bachelor’s degree in communication, according to his LinkedIn. The year prior, Alice performed at the college’s 2009 commencement ceremony, where Dash’s band, Runaway Phoenix, backed him up.
Dash eventually formed the band CO-OP, in which he was the lead singer. In 2013, they performed with Alice for a Solid Rock benefit in Alaska and the group also worked with The Hollywood Vampires, as well as Mötley Crüe, KISS and Korn, among others.
CO-OP released an EP in 2016, followed by their debut album two years later. Around this time, the band went on their first tour. Since then, CO-OP has released four singles.
In his personal life. Dash married his wife, Morgan Cooper, in May 2011. The couple went on to welcome twin boys, Falcon and Riot, in November 2014. They later announced the birth of their son Rexington in July 2018.
Sadly, Dash and Morgan suffered the loss of their fourth child together, son Milo, two years later. The pair split sometime after 2021.

Cooper and Sheryl welcomed their youngest child, Sonora Rose Cooper, on Dec. 14, 1992.
More timid than her siblings, Sheryl told Arcadia News that Sonora refused to dance at her first recital.
Still, she enjoyed going on tour with her famous father. “I remember being 14 years old and having the privilege to travel on the road with my dad throughout Europe; all while being home-schooled on a tour bus,” she once wrote.
Sonora found her calling on the road. “I technically started [in the makeup artistry] when I was a sophomore,” she told Saguaro Spotlight in 2014. “I took a year off school to do a worldwide rock tour, and I was part of this show, playing three different characters every single night.”
According to Sonora, it was sink or swim when it came to doing her makeup for the show. “I really had to learn how to do this … on my own,” she said. “Eventually, I got pretty good at doing these looks.”
Though Sonora wrote that she struggled to transition back to public school, she met the man who would become her future husband, Diego Diaz, as a student at Arcadia High in Phoenix.

The pair started as friends, with Sonora sharing that they had “a solid friendship before we started dating.” Things changed after Diego asked her to junior prom. “From there on we officially started dating our senior year of high school,” she added.
After graduation, the couple moved to Los Angeles together, where Sonora attended the Make-Up Designory school in Burbank, Calif.
“I really wanted to do beauty when I started out, [but] I realized that I was really good at doing injuries and bruising and lacerations,” she told Saguaro Spotlight. “Eventually I really started cranking out my work and creating fun monsters and zombies and that’s what I do to this day.”
Sonora has also helped her dad get ready for shows. “In my element, creating vampires 💉,” she captioned an Instagram photo of her doing Alice’s makeup. Since then, she’s dabbled in editorial and bridal looks as well.
On Nov. 16, 2018, Sonora and Diego tied the knot in Phoenix, where they returned to start a family. “I love this man with all my heart and cannot wait to share more adventures with him,” she wrote at the time.
The twosome moved into her parents’ home at Alice’s suggestion in 2020, just in time to welcome their first child, Desiree, per the rocker’s website. Alice later gushed to Cleveland.com, “My daughter is going to have a baby in July, so I get to be there for that.”

‘Euphoria’ kills off Jacob Elordi’s Nate Jacobs

He’s not feeling euphoric.
Warning: Spoilers ahead! Do not proceed unless you’ve watched “Euphoria’s” seventh episode of Season 3.
“Euphoria” catapulted Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya into their current status as A-listers, and now, one has been axed from the show.
Season 3 killed Elordi’s controversial character, Nate Jacobs.
He was buried alive in a coffin, with a pipe leading to the surface so that he could breathe. A rattlesnake slithered down the pipe and bit him.
He had been placed there by Naz (Jack Topalian), the gangster he owes about a million dollars to.
Naz’s plan was to leave Nate down there (with a pipe to breathe) for 72 hours while his wife, Cassie (Sweeney) could get the money together.
Unfortunately for Nate, before 72 hours was up, a snake got him. Naz also didn’t make it out alive, as he was fatally shot by Season 3’s other gangster, Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje). Cassie and Maddy (Alexa Demie) scrambled to get the money together as Nate got dug up, but they got a nasty surprise, as they were met with his dead body.
In the “inside the episode” segment at the end, Elordi said in his post-mortem interview, “It was a cool way to go, Nate is somebody who’s made so many mistakes and so many dark choices.”
First premiering in 2019, the Sam Levinson-created drama initially followed its characters in high school. Elordi, Zendaya and Sweeney were lesser known at the time.
“Euphoria changed my life,” Elordi, 28, told Variety in 2023.
“Saltburn” was the Australian star’s big-screen breakout that same year. Per Vogue Australia, his “Wuthering Heights” co-star Margot Robbie (who produced “Saltburn”) suggested him for the role at the time after watching him in “Euphoria.”
The “Frankenstein” star told GQ UK in 2023 that before landing on the HBO show, “I wasn’t booking jobs. I think I had – I don’t know, $400 or $800 left in my bank account – and ‘Euphoria’ was my last audition before I went home for a little while to make some money and recuperate.”
In the first two seasons, Nate was the show’s villain. He was a high school jock with anger issues – he manipulated, threatened and blackmailed everyone around him, choked his then-girlfriend, Maddy (Alexa Demi), and struck up a relationship with her best friend, Cassie (Sweeney).
Nate’s issues stemmed from finding his father Cal’s (Eric Dane) sex tapes at a young age.
In Season 3, which is set five years after high school, Nate had a dramatically different personality.
His rage issues inexplicably seemed vanished, his demeanor was softer and nicer and he appeared to genuinely love Cassie (instead of using her, like he was in Season 2).
Instead of being menacing, he did a goofy dance at his wedding. After he didn’t get his way in front of a board of bureucrats, rather than blackmail or threaten them, he just pathetically cried and begged.
Outraged fans criticized “Euphoria” for Nate’s inexplicable personality change and slammed it for giving the character a “lobotomy.”
Season 3 saw Nate take over his dad’s construction business, but he ran into issues when he had to stop his build because of an endangered flower – the white fritillary.
The show also revealed that he conned people into giving him money for his construction projects, including the gangster Naz.
In the third episode of Season 3, when Nate didn’t pay Naz the half a million dollars he owed him, Naz interrupted Nate and Cassie’s wedding and had him brutally beaten on his wedding night. It all culminated in Naz cutting off Nate’s toe. However, Nate later got it sewn back on.
Topalian exclusively told Page Six that Elordi did most of his own stunts during the scene where Naz’s henchmen threw Nate around.
“That’s [Elordi] really doing the struggling and the fighting and the falling and all of that,” he told us.
He called Elordi “committed,” “giving,” and “prepared,” but “between scenes, he’s back to being Jacob.”
“Obviously, he gets back into character really quickly,” he went on. “But once [the director calls ‘cut’] even though he’s been beaten and abused, he’s still having a lot of fun. He’s still cracking jokes and doing things like that.”
Elordi told Entertainment Weekly in November that his acting process was different in Season 3. He noted that he likes to “obsess over” his work, and take the time to prepare by going through “every element and construct it and put it together.”
The booked and busy actor – who was in “Frankenstein” and “Wuthering Heights” back to back – noted that he had “no time” to prepare for Season 3.
“And I didn’t have scripts in any kind of full sense. I sort of just had creative conversations with Sam, so I had no choice.”
The “Priscilla” actor also noted that he “loves” Nate, even though most fans hate him.
“I act to understand a different experience, to express an experience that’s different to my own,” said Elordi. “Playing him taught me a lot about empathy and patience, which is strange with a character like that.”
Elordi also told the outlet that Nate’s dark deeds didn’t bother him.
“It’s a real treat to be a part of that show, and to play the quote-unquote bad guy,” he said. “It’s always more fun. You don’t wanna play some morally superior, world-saving loser.”

Robert De Niro had no idea ‘Taxi Driver’ would become a classic

You talkin’ to him?
Robert De Niro had no idea his 1976 film “Taxi Driver” would be lauded as a classic.
“You never can think that you’re doing something that’s going to have an impact,” the actor, 82, exclusively explained to Page Six in a recent interview alongside his fellow Tribeca Festival co-founder Jane Rosenthal to promote next month’s event.
The Oscar winner “just never look[s] at it that way,” he adding, noting that success is “out of your control.”
The neo-noir drama, directed by Martin Scorsese, stars De Niro as an unhinged taxi driver named Travis Bickle, whose mental state deteriorates over the course of the movie.
De Niro acted in the iconic role alongside Jodie Foster, Cybill Shepherd, Harvey Keitel, Peter Boyle, and Albert Brooks.
The project generated controversy at the time for graphic violence and 12-year-old Foster’s casting as a child sex worker — and, later, for inspiring John Hinckley Jr.’s attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan.
Nevertheless, it is considered one of the greatest movies ever made and, in 1994, was designated as “culturally, historically or aesthetically” significant by the U.S. Library of Congress when selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.
The movie, which turned 50 this year, is being screened at the June film festival — and De Niro and Scorsese, 83, will reunite for a conversation about the project.
Their sitdown is just one of many special talks and screenings taking place at this year’s 25th Tribeca Festival.
Not only are interviews with Madonna, Sean Penn and Josh Safdie also scheduled, but there will be special anniversary screenings of “Cable Guy” and “Bridget Jones’s Diary.”
“There are so many great things to see,” Rosenthal told us. “There’s so much music, everybody from Earth, Wind and Fire and Madonna to Noga Erez and Sarah Bareilles and Peter Frampton.
“There’s just a lot to see,” the 69-year-old continued, stressing that the festival is “a welcome festival for all New Yorkers [with] tickets available” now.
The annual event, which runs from June 3 through June 14, was established in 2002 to spur the revitalization of Lower Manhattan following the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center.

Laura Clery praises first responders after being crushed by fridge

Comedian and social media star Laura Clery praised the first responders who helped her after she was pinned beneath a 600 pound fridge in a freak accident.
Clery was seen in an Instagram video wearing a neck brace while speaking with emergency workers in an ambulance.
“So I was crushed by a 600 pound fridge,” Clery said as she looked up at two firefighters. “Is that correct?”
One of the mean — both of whom wore navy blue uniforms — responded, “Yes.”
A dazed Clery then looked into the camera before the clip ended. She wrote atop the video, “Shout out to these actual HEROES who pushed a 600 pound fridge off of me.”
“This was right after the fentanyl hit and all of my pain [went] away (instantly) I just need to say THANK YOU to these AMAZING firefighters who saved my life!!” the YouTuber captioned the video on Saturday.
“Truly. They got there so fast, broke through my garage door, and 3 of them pushed a 600 pound fridge off of me and got me safely to the trauma unit before things got worse.”
Clery also reflected on how “differently this could have gone” and said she felt “overwhelming gratitude.”
“No broken bones, my kids are okay and safe, I can walk… I’m so lucky!” she continued, praising the personnel as being “calm, kind” and handling “everything like absolute heroes!”
“And then right as one of them pushes the fridge off me, he goes, ‘Wait… I watch all of your videos!’ and they all start hyping me up 😭 like sir… I am currently being flattened but thank you 😂”
She concluded the post, “Forever grateful for these men. Real life angels. 😭🙏❤️”
In the comments thread, Clery admitted that she was “nervous” about fentanyl before it was administered, “but the pain was so severe that they injected it into me and thank God I had no craving to do it again as a recovering addict,” she wrote.
“That’s something we have to think about even when facing an immense amount of pain.”
Clery, 39, shared details of the “most terrifying night of [her] life as a single mom” in an Instagram upload on Thursday.
She said she was getting ready for bed earlier this week when her “600 pound fridge slammed into me and pinned me against the counter.”
During the terrifying incident, she “couldn’t move” and “couldn’t breathe” and that her kids Alfie, 7, and Poppy, 5 — whom she shares with ex-husband Stephen Hilton — were in the house at the time.
“Thank God it didn’t fall on my kids,” she wrote atop a video of her being transported to an ambulance.
The social media personality was able to reach into her pocket for her phone and call 911. “It took three firefighters to lift it off me,” she said. “I’m still shaking.”
She was also able to text Hilton writing, “I’m dying. Come by now now now.”
In the video, Clery could be heard complaining of severe pain following the incident.
She later shared that her son Alfie, who is autistic, had toppled the weighty refrigerator while climbing on it and that it wasn’t “properly mounted into the wall.”
Clery also stated that she wants to “f–king sue the contractor” who installed the fridge and called the oversight “negligence.”
