Mama Cass's daughter opens up about meeting her father for the first time as a teen after Michelle Phillips helped her find him - and admits she was disappointed in her 'alcoholic' dad for not reaching out to her: 'If only he had a little bit of balls'
Owen Elliot-Kugell learned that her father was musician Charles Wayne Day as a teen - and she spoke to DailyMail.com about what it was like to meet him after more than a decade of 'wondering.'
It wasn't until she was a teenager - years after Cass tragically passed away from a heart attack - that Owen learned that her father was musician Charles Wayne Day, all thanks to her mom's former bandmate Michelle.

Charles worked alongside Johnny Rivers for years before he joined The Mamas & the Papas - and was even credited with creating the opening guitar rift in his song Secret Agent Man.
