I just saw a television commercial featuring Jennifer Garner talking about her dad. Aw, ain’t that sweet, James Garner died not too long ago, and here you are mentioning him, and relating a story. Then, a man enters the scene and she refers to him as Dad. Hey wait a minute!! That’s not James Garner, he’s dead!
Is it just me, or did you think her dad was James Garner, too?
Just you. 
Besides, if he were her father then Mariette Hartley would be her mother.
It’s just you, although for a moment, I thought that the White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders was the daughter of the former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and married into the family of Senator Bernie Sanders. (The first is true, while the second is not.)
I honestly never made any mental connection between James and Jennifer Garner.
Rule #34.
It’s just you. I never thought James Garner and Jennifer Garner were related.
Well hell, how many different Garners are there?
I didn’t either. Didn’t even occur to me until now. (As it happens, a friend of ours was a sorority sister of Jennifer Garner’s in college. Said she was very nice but didn’t know her all that well).
I never thought Jennifer Garner and James Garner were related.
But I’ll admit there was a time when I thought Jean Stapleton and Maureen Stapleton were sisters.
And John Ritter really was the son of Tex Ritter.
Just you. Sorry!
Until I read your post, so did I. Then I checked Wikipedia for both of them, and by golly, you’re right!
The uncanny physical resemblance comes from them being fourth cousins.
Related? I thought they were the same person. I really need to get up to speed on my entertainment news.
James Garner had a brother, Jack, who was also an actor and appeared in a couple of episodes of The Rockford Files.
I used to think Audrey Hepburn and Katharine Hepburn were related. But not even distantly.
No but until his year I thought Donald Glover was Danny Glover’s son.
There"s John Nance Garner, FDR’s first vice president. He was Jennifer Garner’s grandson. (There was an accident with a time machine and Zaphod Beeblebrox.)
That would, however, had made a great/terrible sitcom.
I just had to tell my daughter this. She didn’t believe me and had to look it up.
I don’t think it was Rockford yelling, “Jen, who’s your daddy?” all that time.
