There's no list on Wikkipedia, and I can never remember all those who fit these two categories, off the top of my head. I'll start if off though

Cary Grant (child of institutionalized mum)

David Axelrod (father committed suicide)

Malcolm X (mother institi.)

Ted Turner (father committed suicide)

Glenn Beck (mother comm... ...)

Spalding Gray (mother comm... ...)

Alan Ladd (ditto Beck & Gray, but occurred in his presence)

Wendy Rcihard ("East Enders") mother comm. suicide
