How did Sophie Simmons Get Her Name?

Kiss star Gene Simmons named his daughter after Meryl Streep's character in Sophie'S Choice.

The rocker admits the drama, which tells the story of a Polish immigrant, affected him greatly - because his mother, Flora, was herself an immigrant to the U.S.

And Streep's emotive portrayal in the movie inspired him to name his now 17-year-old daughter Sophie.

He says, "I wept uncontrollably when I saw it. It's my mother's story, although she never talks about it. I know she used to cut the Commandant's hair for food scraps - she was only 14."
