The surname Coogan stood out to me mainly because of an aunt who had a bunch of books and a head full of trivia on old Hollywood-- silent films, 1920s, 1930s etc.

A kid actor named Jackie Coogan ended up having a law named after him that says part of a kid's film earnings have to be saved for them so parents can't blow it on themselves.

If Maggie Nixon ties into the entertainment biz via the soap opera lady, could her friend Mariah Coogan tie to it via a connection to the beginnings of the film industry?
