Maury Povich

And we grew up with me and my brother and my younger sister, my older brother, David, my younger sister, Lynn, and I was in the middle.

And I swear to God, Daniel, I don't know if families are like this, but I always felt that my brother was the most favored kid in the family.

My brother...

thought that my sister was the most favored kid in the family, and my sister thought that I was the most favored kid in the family.

So that's how we grew up.

I mean, we kind of grew up as equals, but my brother, who ended up being one of the really great lawyers in the world,

My brother was my hero.

I was known growing up as Me Too Povich because everything my brother did, I said to my parents, me too, me too.

I want to do everything my brother did.

And the most fortunate part about it is as I got, as an adult, got more successful and did all these things, my brother thought that I was his hero.

And I just couldn't, I mean, I thought that was the nicest thing anybody has ever said to me, that my brother, who I looked up to all of my life, thought that I was his hero in later years.

And I can even tear up about that.

I was just going to say the one thing that my father forgot to tell us, and it's interesting.

My father was the seventh of nine children, born in Bar Harbor, Maine, spent his youth in Bar Harbor and Bath, Maine.

He was the last of his clan.

Everybody had died before him, all of his brothers and sisters.

He was the last.

He was the last of my mother was one of nine.

And so all of her people had gone.

That generation always kept their grief inside them for some reason, never showing it.
