Paris Jackson

Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson (born April 3, 1998) is an American model, actress, and singer.

She is the second child and only daughter of Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe.

Jackson was born on April 3, 1998, at Spaulding Pain Medical Clinic in Beverly Hills, California, and was named after the French capital city in which she was conceived.

Her name also comes from a promise that her father, aunt La Toya, and Kathy Hilton made when they were younger that if they were to have a daughter, they would name her Paris.

She is the middle child and only daughter of singer Michael Jackson and younger child of Debbie Rowe.

She has one older brother named Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr. ("Prince") and one younger half-brother named Prince Michael Jackson II ("Bigi", formerly known as "Blanket").

Paris was raised solely by her father, who received full custody rights following his and Rowe's divorce in 2000; Rowe had stated it was her intention and agreed upon with Michael that he would raise and have custody of the children.

Reports alleged that the relationship was an "economic" transaction for Rowe, as Jackson wanted a baby.

She grew up at Neverland Ranch with her siblings.

Her father made Elizabeth Taylor and Macaulay Culkin the godparents of her and her brother Prince.

During her childhood, she and her siblings often wore masks during public outings with their father to hide their faces from the public and press.

When Paris's father unexpectedly died on June 25, 2009, she and her siblings were taken into the care of their grandmother and their cousin Tito Joe Jackson ("TJ").

On July 7, 2009, during the televised memorial for Michael, then 11-year-old Jackson concluded the service saying "I just wanted to say, ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine" Consoled by her aunts, uncles and grandmother she continued "And I just wanted to say I love him so much," before she burst into tears and threw herself into aunt Janet Jackson's arms.

In 2010, Jackson and her brothers gave an interview for Oprah Winfrey alongside their grandmother Katherine and their cousins about life after her father's death.

She and her brother Prince also accepted the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2010 Grammy Awards on their father's behalf.

Jackson enrolled at the Buckley School, an exclusive private school in Sherman Oaks, California, along with her brother Prince.

There, she participated in flag football, softball, and cheerleading.

In 2011, Jackson signed on to star in the children's fantasy film, Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys, a story adapted from a book written by Dennis Christen.

Ultimately, the film was not produced.

Jackson, her two siblings Prince and Bigi, and her grandmother Katherine made plans to put together a documentary film entitled Remembering Michael in remembrance of her deceased father.

It had been hoped that costs associated with the making of the project were to be funded via contributing fans through the crowdfunding site FundAnything.

However, due to the uproar from the fans and media sparked by this method, Katherine decided to shut down the campaign.

In a sneak peek of the documentary, Paris remarked that her father had promised to teach her his famous dance move, the Moonwalk, but never had the chance.

Since the shutdown of the online campaign, no further updates have been reported concerning this project.
