Inspired by this thread–which celebrities have the most intertwined families, biological and adopted.

The award is obviously named after Mia Farrow–three biological sons and three adopted daughters with Andre Previn, a biological son and two adopted children with Woody Allen, and five adopted children on her own. Two of her adopted daughers married brothers, making for grandchilren who are double first cousins.

The David McCallum/Jill Ireland/Charles Bronson clan is pretty convoluted–Jill and David married, had a son, then Jill had a miscarriage. The Jill started an affair with Charles Bronson, who had a son and daughter by his then-wife. Then Jill and David adopted a son and nine months later had a son (who looks like a clone of Daivd). Then David left Jill for model Kathy Carpenter and they had a son and daughter. Then Jill married Charles and had a daughter, and took in the daughter of a friend who died suddently. The whole scorecard is six parents, two adopted children, seven biological.

The only thing that jumps to mind, and it’s way less convoluted than yours, is that Julie London was married to Jack Webb, who later created “Emergency!” (my first favorite TV show) and recruited London, then his ex to star as Dixie, the head nurse, and her new husband, Bobby Troup (composer of “Route 66”) as one of the doctors.

Now “Route 66” was famously sung by Nat King Cole. I don’t believe he ever slept with Julie London, which is too bad because it would make a better story. However it was also covered by the Rolling Stones, and it stands to reason that at least one of the Stones slept with Julie London and possibly Bobby Troup too, because, you know … they got around back in the day. Now, the theoretical lovechild might have grown up to be Justin Timberlake, though of course that’s not really possible since Justin Timberlake is not an actual person, but just a conglomeration of bad pop cliches. Still, it does get convoluted if you let it, and sort of push it along a bit.
