St. Louis Rams owner Georgia Frontiere is daughter to [Lucia Pamela](http://www.pandemic.com/lucia/), whacked-out 60’s entertainer and artist of [Into Outer Space with Lucia Pamela](http://www.counterpoint-music.com/specialties/pamela.html), which she claimed was recorded on the Moon. Neither’s a big celebrity; I just wanted to post Lucia’s bio and song clips, which you just gotta check out.

> Not quite. They were next door neighbors though - at least on occation when Capote stayed with aunts (?) in town. Most people believe Dill is modeled on young Truman. They remained friends until his death, and some people wonder how much of “In Cold Blood” Lee wrote (she did help with the research).
I thought it was the other way around-people wondering if Capote really wrote _To Kill a Mockingbird_?
Ewan McGregor, who played the young Obi-Wan Kenobi in the _Star Wars_ prequels is the nephew of Denis Lawson, who played X-Wing pilot Wedge Antilles in the original _Star Wars_ movies.
