Riley Maple, son of actress/songstress Mare Winningham
Jesse McCann
Winningham. He was her oldest son, studying acting at LACC's Acting
Academy, and showed promise. He was, however, a troubled soul, it
seems. He took his own life. RIP Riley.

She has recorded a couple of folksy albums and did her own singing in
her Oscar-nominated performance in "Georgia." Condolences to her and her
family.

surprised she had a 24 year old son!

Guessing my age is why I don't engage in some of that puerile name
calling that characterizes most of the political threads on this board.

Maple. If he was 24, he was born 2 years before Mare married Mr.
Maple, and he was born the same year she was divorced from her first
husband. Was her first husband his father, and then he took the second
husband's name later? Or did she and Mr. Maple have a baby the same
year she was still married to Mr. Martinez?
In any case, it's an unthinkable tragedy and my sympathies are with all
the Maples.

children, but not Riley.
Laurie Mann
Children: Riley Maple (b. 1981), Paddy Maple, Jack Maple (b. 1985),
Calla Louise Maple (b. 1987).
She would have been 22 when she had Riley, which was certainly young to
have a first child in the '80s, but not impossible. I was 23 when I
had my daughter in 1980, and was one of the youngest mothers on my
maternity ward.
It also takes a little time to get divorced - she could have broken up
with her first husband and gotten pregnant before getting divorced from
him (I had no idea she'd been married at A. Martinez!).
Still haven't seen any official confirmation of this, and I hope that's
one of those Internet rumors. Ironically, she's currently in a play
where her character "carries the burden of a lost child..."

Both Winningham and Kevin Spacey went to high school together. So
she would be old enough to have a kid that age. Actually even in the
1980s she would have been a little too old to be part of the "brat pack",
of Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Emilio Estevez, Charlie Sheen, Robert
Downey Jr., Mary Stuart Masterson, etc.

Loretta Lynn had her first baby when she was 14 years old. She was a
grandmother by the time she was 30. Compared to this, 22 seems almost
like middle aged. In fact most girls before the 20th century started having
kids very young. This was probably more out of necessity than anything
else, life expectancy was much lower, and I imagine that women's fertility
rates dropped dramatically as they approached their 30s.

Anyone have a link to news story? <<
You may not find one. I have second-hand knowledge. My daughter was a
good friend of Riley's and he has spent time at our house. I spent
Sunday consoling my daughter, and she is still very upset, of course.
One way to relieve the pressure on myself was to say something
publically about Riley's passing. The press might not pick it up.

I couldn't find anything except this written in someone's personal
writings. http://www.7thsign.com/~linkaloo/?cat=10
I did find web pages with his name listed at the school he was attending
and some plays that he had been in. Try searching for "Riley Mapel".
That is the way it is spelled on these sites.

It made for a better tale in "Coal Miner's Daughter," but marriage records show that she was 15 when she was married to Doo ... Her daughter, Betty Sue, who was her oldest child, was born in 1948, 3-4 months after Lynn turned 16.

the correct numbers are 16 & 34.
So, previous poster was wrong - but not by *that* much (only 4).
