Editing Black Ops '61 (section)

===Background===
Both Stacey's parents are the children of immigrants from Eastern Europe. Marina Smirnoff was the daughter of Russian immigrants who became a star athlete in multiple sports, not unlike the real-life Babe Didrikson. Known in the press as "Million-Dollar Marina" (not for being a millionaire, which, though comfortably well-off, she never was, but for being "like a million bucks.")

Her husband was born to immigrants from Bohemia as Jacob Hochfelder. Young Jacob went out west, and found himself working in the burgeoning movie industry in Westerns. When he achieved some minor stardom in B-Westerns, he changed his name to the more appropriate-sounding "Jack Houston." Unusual for Western stars, Jack Houston was more notable for his size and strength than shooting or singing skills (though he did those too!) Starting out as a "heavy," he eventually played "white hat" roles, either as sidekick to a more conventional hero, or as the hero himself in a few movies and one serial.

Jack and Marina met at a celebrity golf tournament in California, hit it off, and eventually married and had Stacey in 1938. Both parents, incidentally, were Jewish, though (as typical for Jews in the entertainment industry at the time) while they didn't hide their religion, they didn't especially advertise it. Marina died of cancer in 1946, when Stacey was only 8. Obviously, this had a profound effect on her.
