Who Do You Think You Are? S16E07 - Sharon Osbourne

Sharon Osbourne is open about her less-than-idyllic childhood and her remote relationship with her mother, but as she delves into her maternal family history and uncovers the difficult circumstances of her mother's and grandmother's lives, she is moved by what she discovers, from family break-up to a brush with the law. Further back, Sharon is astonished to discover that her great-grandmother was born in the United States, but as Sharon digs deeper in to the story she realises it's a case of the American Dream gone wrong. Sharon's great-great-grandparents, lured by the promise of work in a cotton mill town advertised as paradise, found the harsh reality very different.
