Name: Wynonna Ellen Judd Born: Christina Claire Ciminella on May 30, 1964 in Ashland, Kentucky. Name: Naomi Ellen Judd Born: Diana Ellen Judd on January 11, 1946 in Asland, Kentucky. Name: Ashley Judd Born: Ashley Taylor Ciminella on April 19, 1968 in Granada Hills, California. Naomi Judd Is a Daughter of a gas station owner. She married at the age of 17, had Wynonna the week she graduated High School, and Ashley Judd 4 years later. At 25 she divorced her husband after the family had moved to Los Angeles. Struggling to raise her two girls on the salary of a secretary and advertising model, she up ad moved to Morrill, Ky to become a nurse. She talked the father of one of her patients into arranging an RCA audition. The very first musical performance of this groundbreaking mother-daughter duo was an opening act to the Statler Brothers in March of '84 in Omaha, Ne. This is what lead to one of the most famous duos in country music today. Although, Wynonna had been the lead voice of the duo, and is now a successful solo star, Naomi impressed many with her songwriting skills. Naomi wrote such greats as, "Change of Heart", "River of Time", Guardian Angels", and " Cadillac Red". She co-wrote " Love Can Build A Bridge". She has Wrote many others for Wynonna when she went out on her own. On Oct. 19, 1990, The Judds dropped a bombshell. During a press conference, they announced the end of their seven-year partnership at the conclusion of their '91 tour due to Naomi's chronic hepatitis. Naomi is currently married to Larry Strickland, a former bandmate of Elvis Presley and Wynonna is a single Mom raising her two children Elijah Judd Kelley and Grace Pauline Kelley. Ashley is currently a big screen movie star. She has been in such movies like "Ruby in Paradise", " Norma Jean and Marilyn", "A Time to Kill ", " Kiss the Girls", "Simon Birch", " Double Jeopardy ", " Eye of the Beholder", " Where the Heart Is","Someone Like You", "High Crimes", and "The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" to name a few. Wynonna and Naomi reunited one last time on December 31, 1999 for the first and possibly the last Reunion Concert. The turnout was great and fans came from all over to see not just the two of them but, to see all three women on stage together. Wy is recently working on her gospel album, Naomi is still speaking to people about her battle with hepatitis, and Ashley recently was married to race car driver Dario Franchitti and is getting ready for the release of her newest movie "De-Lovely".Wy recently had the honor of appearing on The Grand Ole Opry for the first time. She did a tremendous job! She sang "How Great Thou Art" and a few others. Her voice was amazing. Since then Wy has married D.R. Roach in Nov. '03 and has released yet another amazing Cd titled "What The World Needs Now Is Love" . She also made another appearance on the Grand Ole Opry stage but this time with Mom. All three Judd women have totally different careers but are still as close to one another as they can be. They still live on adjoining farms in Franklin Tennessee. Done by: Angie |
