March 16, 1998

Cheryl Dunye

Cheryl Dunye, director of last year's popular lesbian feature, The Watermelon Woman (widely heralded as the first African-American lesbian feature in history) gave birth to a healthy, four pound baby girl, Simone Irene Dunye, this past Sunday, March 8th at 8:55 a.m.

Mother and baby are doing fine, according to Dunye's girlfriend, Watermelon Woman producer Alex Juhasz. Dunye quickly added that her new daughter is a Pisces, "just like my girlfriend, Alex."

While Jodie Foster recently announced her pregnancy but refused to comment on, "the father,the method or anything of that nature," Juhasz explained that Simone's "bio-Dad" is an old friend of the couple's, San Francisco-based artist Robert Sciasci.
