That's Mary's Goddaughter. Mary's daughter, Turkessa is Diana Ross' Goddaughter.
Here's Diana Ross with a headlock on Mary Wilson's son Willie
Here is the picture enlarged. It is Diana:
Sure looks like Diana to me...and her figure
Whatever happened to Willie?
It’s Mary. Diana never had tits like that, nor us it her posture. Blow it up, you’ll see Mary’s face.
It looks like a Vandella to me.
That is not Diana Ross. It is Mary Wilson.
Thats Mary Wilson if you zoom in you can tell clear as day. Theres one person here saying its Diana but the rest of us know its Mary. Id say the majority [[but one) rules.
How many godmothers does Rhonda have? On Page 312 of Motown: Music, Money, Sex, and Power it says
"Now Ross had shown up at the movie set where Gordy was because her daughter, twelve-year-old Rhonda Silberstein, had gotten a role as an extra in a dance scene. It was her godmother, Suzanne de Passe, who had arranged the bit part, .."
Truth be told that pic that Marv posted isn’t clear enough to tell who exactly it is
August 1968 LA Fourm
That's Mary. Since when Diana been curvaceous? Lol
Anyway cute pic of Rhonda, Mary and Rhonda's son.
Does anyone have a clear pic so it can be settled
Suzanne De Passe is Rhonda's Godmother and it has be written and documented in several places. I have never read or heard Diana, Mary or Rhonda say Mary was her Godmother as well. The pics above are from a Soul Newspaper and I have those stored away in the attic. I am 200% sure of the pic of Willie with the lady's arm around his neck is Mary and Mary will tell you the same thing. The lady with her hand above Willie head as he dances is Diana.
In fact I don't think Flo even had Godparents for her girls and if she did I have never seen it written nor anyone around or close enough to say so.
Here's another one of Diane with Willie in New Jersey:
In one of the many Mary interviews posted here recently, Mary, herself said it. Maybe in her mind, she is, but the official godparent is Suzanne. The titles of an aunt, uncle, godparent etc are sometimes used loosely, but affectionately. But sometimes your "Uncle" Andy is just one your parent's friend Andy.
Not to keep beating a dead horse [[but sometimes it's fun! LOL). As we can see, Willie has on the same jacket and pants in both pictures. While Diana has on the same wig and dress in both pictures. Just thought I'd point that out!
I thought Diane padded her front and Mary padded her back! It’s nice to see Rhonda and Mary enjoying the moment.

This is photo from the same show at the LA Forum on Aug. 16, 1969 [[Billboard Magazine). Diana Ross and Mary Wilson are not wearing similar wigs. So you need to show me a picture of what your talking about Brad:
Here is a bit larger version:
Mary said in a radio interview that Rhonda was also on but Mary said it 5 minute before Rhona joined. This is the first time ive heard Mary say that Rhondas her God daughtet. Im doubting her claim. Maybe as you say its like Dianas kids expect Rhonda calling Berry Gordy uncle BG.
The photo of Willie on stage with Diana and in a headlock with Mary is not the same show as the one you just posted photos of the girls in their personal clothes. They appeared at the Forum in 1968 and 1969. You confusing the two. The gowns were for the 1968 show. The personal clothes were worn for the 1969 show. But hey, what do I know? It's not like I researched this stuff for Mary's book.
And it's Mary. Just look at the face. Go on believing it's Diana, but Mary confirmed to me it's her.
LOL I also thought of asking her, but I forgot about it.
As for Mary being Rhonda’s Godmother, you know Mary gets carried away with her speak, I love her to death, but, it’s a character flaw she has. She doesn’t mean to be......… Untruthful, I mean it’s not her intent to be, I don’t think, at least in most cases, she just gets carried away with what she’s saying and, frankly, makes shit up sometimes on the spur of the moment for no reason. She even admits to having issues with telling the truth in her books, and others have spoken about this issue as well. Mary told me that she and Diana were rarely in touch after January 14, 1970…… And for several years almost never. It would make no sense whatsoever for Diana to ask Mary to be godmother to any of her children, and I do not believe that she ever did.
The photos of them in their gowns are from the 1968 show they did at the Forum with Stevie Wonder. They’re featured in the Soul Illustrated magazine that reads “Winter 1968” at the top. Want further proof? Cindy’s wearing a long wig in the 1969 show. These 1968 photos show her with a short, bouffant style.
As I said, I’ve done this research. I know what I’m talking about, but please do go on like I don’t.
We’ve gone far off what the thread was supposed to be about.
Very nice photo of Miss Wilson with Rhonda Ross Kendrick and her son. Pleasure to see such a cordial picture of the three of them. The other picture is taking away from the intent of the thread. I do see that in my look it is Miss Wilson in that picture, as well. But, prefer to focus that Miss Wilson is there at a Motown premiere and photographed with Miss Ross' daughter and granddaughter. Very pleasant to see.
