I was kinda hoping it was true, that’s why I checked. It would have been pretty cool.

A bump because nobody mentioned Marlon Brando’s children.

Cheyenne was known for being abused when pregnant, causing her to miscarry and later for commiting suicide. Christian is known for killing the abusive boyfriend and doing jailtime.

Their half-brother Miko is known for being Michael Jackson’s bodyguard and being the first to reach him when Jackson’s hair caught fire.

Lawrence Durrell, novelist and Gerald Durrell, zoologist.

Actually, outside of zoo circles, Gerald is probably more famous for his books about the Jersey Zoological Park and his childhood than he is for actually BEING a zoologist.

Brothers: Rahm Emanuel and His Family - Washingtonian

Rahm, Zeke, and Ari Emanuel have become very successful in different fields—politics, medicine, and Hollywood. But it’s hard not to notice the similarities among the brothers. They’re all intense, pugnacious, and in perpetual motion.

From the May 2008 issue of Washingtonian

The joke among the Emanuel brothers is that Zeke, the eldest, is bringing the family down.

That would be Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, 50, chair of the department of bioethics at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. Zeke is an oncologist with a master’s from Oxford, an MD from Harvard, a PhD in political philosophy from Harvard, and a 27-page CV that includes fellowships, professorships, books, and numerous awards and honors.

“Ari and I tell Zeke: ‘You haven’t done squat for the family,’ ” says Rahm, the middle brother.

That’s because Zeke hasn’t had a TV character based on him, as have Rahm Emanuel, the Illinois congressman and former Bill Clinton adviser who was said to be part inspiration for White House aide Josh Lyman on The West Wing, and Hollywood agent Ari Emanuel, the model for lovably trash-talking agent Ari Gold on HBO’s Entourage.

But part of being one of the hyperkinetic Emanuel brothers is being relentlessly competitive. So Zeke points out that the charge against him is not entirely true. The eldest brother notes that he was a participant in a British reality TV show during his Oxford days. “They loved to hate me there because I was the American on the team, the loud American.”
