When Cassandra Marina Skouras was born on 3 August 1952, in Bronxville, Eastchester, Westchester, New York, United States, her father, Spyros Solon Skouras Sr., was 28 and her mother, Barbara Jane Feldmann, was 26. She died on 26 July 2005, in Bradenton, Manatee, Florida, United States, at the age of 52, and was buried in Gate of Heaven Cemetery, Hawthorne, Mount Pleasant, Westchester, New York, United States.
From Greek legend. Cassandra was a Trojan princess blessed with the gift of prophecy but cursed with the fate that nobody would ever believe her. She was brought back to Greece as a captive concubine by Agamemnon, but met her death at the hands of his jealous wife Clytemnestra. Although it was never generally popular, this name was in occasional use from the Middle Ages until the 18th century, and has recently been revived by parents looking to the pages of classical mythology for distinctive names.
