Martin Sheen, Emilio Estevez, Charlie Sheen, (Joe Estevez). I think there are even Estevezs on the scene below Joe in stature--that's pretty low!

That surprised me so I looked it up: they're fifth cousins. Heck, you and I could be fifth cousins!

The Barrymores: Lionel, Drew, and many others.

I can never keep the Skarsgårds straight.

What got me thinking about when I was watching 'Gunsmoke' on TV this morning with, of course,  James Arness, and last night I watched part of IT CONQUERED THE WORLD (1956) with his brother Peter Graves!
Anyway- Jayne Mansfield was married to the Crimson Executioner, and lo! their daughter Mariska Hagertiy.
