Jasmine A Sabu was born to Sabu Dastagir (1924 - 1963), a movie star from India simply known as "Sabu", and actress Marilyn Cooper (1934 - 2009). She had a brother, Paul Sabu, who became a composer. Jasmine never married.
Following in her show business parents' footsteps, Jasmine was also part of the entertainment industry, but not as an actor. She trained animals for the movies and also wrote a screenplay about her famous father:

Jasmine's father, Sabu Dastagir died near the age of 39 of a heart attack, and his death made headlines around the world. See 'Elephant Boy' Sabu Dastagir Succumbs at 39. Jasmine also died at a relatively young age - 44, shortly after she completed her film script.
Jasmine was buried beside her father in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles, California. Her headstone is inscribed: "To Our Precious Daughter And Sister - Until The Day Break, And The Shadows Flee Away."
For fifty years I have been a Document Examiner and that is how I earn my living.
For over 50 years I have also been a publicist for actors, singers, writers, composers, artists, comedians, and many progressive non-profit organizations.
I am a Librettist-Composer of a Broadway musical called, "Nellie Bly" and I am in the process of making small changes to it.
In addition, I have written over 100 songs that would be considered "popular music" in the genre of THE AMERICAN SONGBOOK. My family consists of four branches. The Norwegians and The Italians and the Norwegian-Americans and the Italian Americans.
