Born on her sister Rebbies 6th birthday on May 29, 1956, in Gary, Indiana, La Toya Jackson is the fifth of ten children born to Joseph Jackson and Katherine Jackson and the middle female child between Rebbie and Janet. Growing up, La Toya was a shy homeperson. After her mother became a member of the Jehovahs Witnesses in 1965, La Toya, along with the rest of her siblings followed, but most of the children are no longer associated with Jehovahs Witnesses. She would spend some of her time preaching doortodoor. Every morning, Michael and I witnessed, knocking on doors around Los Angeles, spreading the word of Jehovah. By 1972, at sixteen, La Toya joined her brothers in the spotlight with a tap dancing routine when her father arranged for them to perform shows in Las Vegas, among other cities. Jackson aspired to be an attorney specializing in business law. She attended college for a short time before her father insisted that she pursue a career in show business like the rest of the family
