==Early life==
Meg Randall was the professional identity used by the actress Gene Roberts during the successful part of her career. She was born August 1, 1926 in Clinton, Custer and Washita County, Oklahoma and known informally as Gene, which was derived from her birth name, Genevieve.〔''The Milwaukee Journal'', September 18, 1949, Jesse Daniels, Hollywood, "It Paid Her to Do Nothing", Milwaukee, WI, p. 5.〕〔''1930 United States Federal Census'', Seminole, Seminole, Oklahoma; p. 20A; Enumeration District 29; Image 234.0.〕 Her father, Charles Patrick Roberts (1892-1980),〔''California Death Index'', 1940-1997, Sacramento, CA, USA; State of California Department of Health Services, Center for Health Statistics.〕〔''Social Security Death Index, Master File'', Social Security Administration.〕 originated from Texas and by 1900 his family moved into Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory of Oklahoma, to farm while Charles was still very young.〔''1900 United States Federal Census'', Township 2, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory, Oklahoma; Roll: T623_1847; Enumeration District: 123.〕 He generally worked as an auto mechanic〔''Shawnee City, Oklahoma, City Directory'', 1935, p. 252.〕 and then a construction laborer〔''1940 United States Federal Census'', Shawnee, Pottawatomie, Oklahoma; Roll: T627_3328; p. 7B; Enumeration District: 62-46.〕 Her mother, Winnie McMillin (1899-1952),〔''California Death Index'', 1940-1997, Sacramento, CA, USA; State of California Department of Health Services, Center for Health Statistics.〕 was born in Tennessee and grew up in an Oklahoma farming community as well.〔''1910 United States Federal Census'', Harris, Johnston, Oklahoma; Roll: T624_1254; p. 6B; Enumeration District: 0125; Image: 1198; FHL Number: 1375267.〕 By the age of 20, she was a school teacher in Harris Township, OK.〔''1920 United States Federal Census'', Harris, Johnston, Oklahoma; Roll: T625_1464; p. 6A; Enumeration District: 90; Image: 897.〕 After World War II, both of Gene's parents were employed as attendants at the local Veterans' Administration Hospital in Muskogee, OK.〔''Muskogee, Oklahoma, City Directory'', 1946, pp. 178-179.〕 Gene was the third of five children. Her two older siblings were Juanita and Juarez with the younger set named Cleo and Robert.〔''Portland Sunday Telegram and Sunday Press Herald'', November 7, 1948, Associated Press, "Hollywood Newcomer Has Name Difficulty", Portland, ME, Section D, p. 7.〕 Although her family is of primarily Welsh descent, it was noted that her father favored names of alternate ethnicity.〔''Portland Sunday Telegram and Sunday Press Herald'', November 7, 1948, Associated Press, "Hollywood Newcomer Has Name Difficulty", Portland, ME, Section D, p. 7.〕 So he selected a few for his children rather than naming them all strictly Welsh names, therefore breaking away from family tradition. Gene's older brother, Juarez Roberts (1923-2009),〔''Social Security Death Index, Master File'', Social Security Administration.〕 was a World War II paratrooper who graduated from the University of Oklahoma after the war.〔''Newport News-Times'', February 27, 2009, Obituaries, Newport, OR.〕 He found his niche in Hollywood by writing for several television shows during the 1950s until the early 1960s.〔''Newport News-Times'', February 27, 2009, Obituaries, Newport, OR.〕
