Reading the two books together was, according to one reviewer, “like reading the transcripts in a divorce trial.”[105] As the co-writer and owner of the copyright to “California Dreamin'”, Michelle Phillips was an important contributor to the 2005 PBS television documentary California Dreamin’: The Songs of the Mamas & the Papas.”

I also had no idea they had such crazy lives. It’s amazing they did as well as they did, but it only lasted about 4 years.

The PBS special is not the one Neo linked, which is this one:
The Mamas & Papas, interviewed separately on Later with Bob Costas.
February 21, 1990. John Phillips
May 24, 1990. Michelle Phillips
John died on March 18, 2001. Michelle was the last surviving member of the group.
