Millicent was the eldest daughter of Benjamin (Bugsy) Siegel, who was murdered three years prior (June 20, 1947). Jack Rosen was the son of mob associate Morris Rosen. The wedding took place in the Park Lane Hotel in New York City in 1950. There are a total of twenty two (22) black-and- white photographs of the event. The most notable picture is that of Meyer Lansky (Ben Siegel’s best friend) walking Millicent to the chuppah.

Her father Benjamin and mother, Esta (née Krakower), who married in 1929, were both the children of Eastern European immigrants. Benjamin Siegel grew up on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where he became best friends and lifetime partners with Meyer Lansky and formed the Meyer and Ben gang.
