...book, the film is a flashback to her psychedelic heyday in the '60s as a member of the Mamas and the Papas. Chynna was exposed to the groovy life when her mom divorced co-Papa John Phillips and began sharing a pad with turn-ons like Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty. Chynna, who sings too, began her own acting career by appearing in Some Kind of Wonderful and The Invisible Kid, due in August. Her part in Dreamin' has exposed a generation gap, reports Michelle: "Chynna's only complaint so far is 'Mom, do I have to wear my hair...
