This automaticly creates anothr one. Angelina Jolie is Barry McGuire’s niece.
WAIT A MINUTE…
I just thought that Harper Lee and Truman Capote were neighbors. Capote WAS the inspiration for the character of Dil, though…
I recently bought a used copy of the Reader’s
Digest edition of To Kill a Mockingbird. According
to their insert, Lee and Capote were cousins and
she helped him research In Cold Blood.
Tommy Lee Jones and Al Gore were college roommates at Harvard.
Damn, this game is TOUGH…
Courtney Love is Ronald Reagan’s love child from an illicit affair with Eleanor Roosevelt.
Well, OK, not really.
This one is for real.
Geraldo Rivera is Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.'s ex-son-in-law.
Hmmm…I didn’t know that Annie-my teacher only said they were neighbors. Still, that’s pretty neat.
Not quite. John of Gaunt was married to Katherine Swynford, whose sister Philippa was married to Chaucer.
Voight’s brother is Chip Taylor, not Barry Mcguire.

Annie X-mas: Roy Lichtenstein and Pinky Lee? This one is too bizarre to think about. Two the hard way!
Pat Boone is Daniel Boone’s descendant. Whoops, rule violation. But I wonder of old Dan’l did the speaking in tongues thing?
Frank Gifford was Michael Kennedy’s father in law.
Prize?
Who won?
Gold stars?
Hum?
If we are including in-laws, let’s not
forget Michael Jackson and Elvis spinning
in his grave.
Also, Debbie Boone is married to Rosemary
Clooney’s nephew, therefore creating a
Boone-Clooney-Farrer tangle.
Anna Lyonowens, famous governess [Anna and the King]
and
Boris Karloff, famous character actor and narrator of the animated The Grinch Who Stole Christmans.
Elvis Presley and Mrs. Michael Jackson.
ok I’m really stretching the rules here, but still…
Albert Brooks and Super Dave? Well…they’ve both made careers out failing in public. I guess it makes sense.
(I mean pretends to be a failure. I like Albert Brooks.)
The best one is still jerry lee lewis and jimmy swaggert. Two diametrically opposed sides of the same coin.

Dammit!
Ah, well, I’ve still got Winston Churchill and Princess Di.
(And no, they weren’t quite the same profession-government, House of Commons and Royalty).
I realize this one is against the rules, but I just heard and confirmed it, and had to post it.
Geoffrey Fieger, of sleazy lawyer fame
Doug Fieger, lead singer of The Knack.
I’ve got a good one that actually fits all the rules.
John Schmitz, the ultra-right-wing congressman who ran for president in 1972, is the father of Mary Letourneau, the schoolteacher who is doing hard time for having sex with her jailbait boyfriend.
Schmitz himself was one of those “conservative family values” types who was caught with his pants down in an adulterous affair and disgraced.
