The Most Famous Celebrity Kids Born This Month in the 1970s

Ah, the 1970s. A time before smartphones and streaming services. But everything wasn’t different back then. Even though the decade was half a century ago, music, TV, and movie fans were just as fascinated with celebrities as they are now.

What celebs had kids in the ‘70s? We went back 50 years (or so) to find out who became parents this month—and here are the rockers, award winners, silver screen stars, and models who had babies between 1970 and 1980.

Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash

While the singer-songwriter’s first four children (with his first wife Vivian Liberto) were born in the 1950s and 1960s, his fifth kiddo was a ‘70s baby. Johnny Cash had four daughters, Rosanne (born in 1955), Kathy (born in 1956), Cindy (born in 1958), and Tara (born in 1961).

Cash’s fifth child, John, was born on March 3, 1970. Not only did John have a famous father, but he also had a celeb mom. He was the only child of Cash and his second wife, performer June Carter Cash.

Keith Richards

Musician Keith Richards is best known as one of the original members of The Rolling Stones. But the rock icon is also a father to five. The musical legend has three children: Son Marlon (born August 10, 1969), son Tara (born March 26, 1976), and daughter Angela (born April 17, 1972) with model Anita Pallenberg. He also has two more children (daughters Theodora and Alexandra) with model Patti Hansen. Richards’ son, Tara, sadly died at just 10 weeks old, almost crushing the doting dad.

Mia Farrow

Actress Mia Farrow made a name for herself starring in films such as The Purple Rose of Cairo and Rosemary’s Baby. And while she gave birth to the spawn of satan on screen, in real life, she was mom to 14 children. Her first three biological kids were all born in the 1970s. But only her youngest son, Fletcher (born in 1974), was a March baby.

Peggy Lipton and Quincy Jones

The Mod Squad actress/model and the legendary music producer married in 1974. The couple has two daughters, Kidada (born on March 22, 1974) and Rashida (born on February 25, 1986). And yes, the younger sibling is Parks and Recreation star Rashida Jones.
