That is just quelle bizarro.

Poor little Francis Bean- can you imagine having Courtney Love for a mother, Kurt Cobain for a father, Marlon for a great-grandfather, and Christian and Cheyenne Brando for uncle and aunt? Let’s hope she got big helpings of other genes in there. (OTOH, both dad and great-grandpa were major idols in their day, so she has that going for her.)

Incidentally, the twin boys who played Adam on BEWITCHED were adopted at birth. When they sought their biological parents, they learned their father was [Tony Curtis](http://www.bewitched.net/adam.htm) . They look just like him.

I searched for “grandfather” :smack:
