Leslie Van Houten was born in Los Angeles, California, on August 23, 1949. She was raised there in a middle-class family with an older brother and two adopted siblings from Korea. Her parents divorced around 1963, and a then-14-year-old Van Houten was disturbed from then on. The following year, she started dropping acid.
