This article about JDC face is interesting. I had never heard that story but this link date goes back to 1957.
Had always read the umbelical cord caused the problem with his face but apparently it was from a slipped forecep instead of the umbelical cord
This is an Interesting read from the old newspaper in 1957.

"According to the United Press when John David was born the forceps slipped and the left side of his face has been paralyzed. His left eye never closes, not even when the violence of his "play" buries it in the sod. . His face is lop sided, for the inert left side of his mouth stays where it is as the right side raises."
