Mariska Hargitay and Jayne Mansfield are daughter and mother. We all know that Josh Ritter is the son of John Ritter, but few people know that John is the son of Western singing star Tex Ritter. Tex sang the title song for the movie High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling).
@@iamalive.1255 Jason is also in the opening credits of Three's Company. He's the blonde haired little boy who walks up to one of the girls. I can't remember if it was Janet or Terry that he walks up to.
Ritters are Hollywood blue bloods. Actors married directors. Their generations are all in the same business. Drew Barrymore, Candice Bergen, Jane Fonda, just to name a few.
Marisa Tomei and Julianne Moore were also both on the soap opera, As The World Turns. I didn't know they both attended Boston University as well! That university has an incredible acting program!
I found out a few years ago that I’m distantly related to Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. It made me super excited because Princess Leia has been my hero since I was a little girl
Introducing Stanley Tucci to her sister Felicity is one of the best things Emily Blunt could have done. I wasn't really aware that Stanley had been treated for Cancer but he really feels like he's got a second chance at life and is a very keen cook, particularly Italian food. He's moved across to the UK and has won over a whole new load of fans.
I remember hearing that Jenny McCarthy was not so nice to her cousin when Melissa was trying to get her start in Hollywood. Not sure if it's true, but tbh, I could totally see it.
Then again, Jenny decided to be nice on a different occasion when a magazine posted a derogatory article about Melissa. She wrote a letter to that magazine in critique of said article.
Eartha Kitt is my 3rd or 4th cousin! She’s my grandfather cousin. Same plantation and everything in SC. I know a lot about her from my grandfather stories some good and some heartbreaking
My mom said her aunt told her recently that they're related to Steven Tyler on my grandfather's side. Apparently Steven's great grandfather was their great grandfather's brother.
My uncle was in the service during the Korean War with Willie Mays... they stayed in touch for a little while after, and he signed my uncle's baseball cards. Unfortunately he lost the cards in a house fire, but he never forgot their friendship in the service. That was worth more to him during that scary time! My uncle has been gone since 2009. Maybe he and Willie are swapping war stories in the great hereafter... cheers!
I have heard most of these before. I am a huge fan of Finding Your Roots and have developed the habit of going to the end of each new episode first to see if any of that week's guests have a DNA match. The most recent episode, Roy Wood, Jr. was almost brought to tears when he discovered that he is a cousin to John Lewis.
Once you brought up Lenny Kravitz, I thought you were going to bring up his daughter ex wife and her current husband, who are Zoe Kravitz, Lisa Bonet, and Jason Mamoa respectively.
Can just see Al Roker singing Lenny’s song that played replacing “ I want to get away” with “ Let’s see what’s happeningggggg …. In Your neck of the woods!! Maybe he already has ?
I don't think inlaws and marriages should really be apart of this video. Marriage could be a video for itself but inlaws is sorta irrelevant especially if it they had something to do with the connection
I would add Sean Astin (LOTR, The Goonies, Stranger Things, etc) being the son of Patty Duke and THE OG Gomez Addams, John Astin. I remember seeing Sean's brother, Mackenzie, in later episodes of The Facts of Life (when Cloris Leachman took over for Charlotte Rae,) but then fell out of the spotlight.
@@tanyanewman55 Cool! Thanks for the info! It seems like John and Patty were together since the beginning of time, so it would make sense for Sean to be his son, but hey, life happens, and it doesn't matter if he's biological or not, as long as he was a loving father to those children. My own parents split up when my mom was 4 months pregnant with me (they were young and it was the 70's,) and she met my stepfather and they started dating during her pregnancy. He has been my other dad my whole life! Side note- my biological father stepped up to support me, so I have a nice relationship with him and always have. Regardless, my stepfather (my Dan,) raised me like I was his own. He took care of all 7 of us kids, even though 5 of us were not his blood. My family is huge and perhaps hard to explain, but I love all of us, and it is my life... been this way for almost 42 years! Lol... Well, again, thank you! I'll have to look up Michael Tell now... 🤔😁
Lily and Alfie Allen also have a famous father - actor Keith Allen, who also had his own music project called "Fat Les", which also included comedy actors Rowland Rivron and Paul Kaye. Fat Les recorded songs that were full of British humour such as "Vindaloo" (which is also a favourite of English football fans) and "Naughty Christmas".
Keith has the BEST speaking voice - and has been great in both comedy and dramatic roles. He's also a great comic writer - I always loved the spoof of The Professionals he did with Peter Richardson.
They didn’t mention that Gwen Stefani and Madonna are distant cousins. Also, they forgot to mention that Hailie Bieber (neé Baldwin) is the niece of Alec Baldwin. Chris Pine is the son of Robert Pine and Drew Barrymore comes from a family of actors.
Stephen: "Am I not famous enough for you to mention that Hallie is my daughter?" McManus: "Give me the f#@king keys, you f#@king c#@ks#@king motherf#@ker, aaarrrghh." ~ The Usual Suspects
This must be old, since it only mentions that Melissa McCarthy was nominated for an Oscar for Bridesmaids, but not her Best Actress Oscar nom for Can You Ever Forgive Me?
I can't believe that you didn't include that singer/actor Olivia Newton-John's grandfather is Max Born, one of the most important physicists of all time (he was awarded the 1954 Nobel in Physics for "fundamental research in quantum mechanics, especially in the statistical interpretation of the wave function.")
"Celebrities"....not musicians related to physicists. Although, I respect the work and progression and would be more interested in a list of that nature.
A statement to the power of nepotism. For some of them, their great effort to deny (especially to themselves) or obscure (like by changing their names) that nepotism is really how they got their break and has been the actual engine that's driven them to celebrity is exactly why we didn't know.
Snoop is also related to one of the most famous female wrestlers Sasha Banks ... it’s actually a decent story how he took her to one of the biggest shows ever when she was a teen, helping fuel her dreams
I am distantly related to Elizabeth Taylor and John Wayne on my father's mother's side of the family. Liz Taylor is one of the inspirations behind my author alias, Katrina Taylor.
That’s cool lol, the closest I could get was my grandma and late grandpa hanging out with some singing groups (The dramatics and I can’t remember the name of the other one)
I definitely knew 95% of these! Should do a part 2...Im not related to anyone hollywood famous(at least that I know of) I am 50%native american and my distant grandfather was Sitting Bull
One id add is Trainspotting actor Jonny Lee Miller who was married to Angelina Jolie, being the grandson of actor Bernard Lee who played M in the older James Bond movies.
I knew that the first time I saw Jesse Eisenberg. They look similar. And that was before I knew his last name. I used to watching Hallie Kate in movies. She is the same age as me. Although I am a couple months older than her.
They didn’t mention their older sister Kerry Vera Lea who is the most talented of the three. She did a lot of voice work in the late 90’s & early 00’s. Plus ran an acting school for children when she was only 19. Now she mostly does work as an extra on a myriad of TV shows. But Hallie & Jesse both owe their careers to her.
I am related to, on my father's side, Lee Meriwether, who played Betty Jones in Barnaby Jones. And from what my cousin found on my mother's side, possibly Truman Capote.
Absolutely mind-blowing to discover these unexpected family connections among celebrities! The fact that Jonah Hill and Beanie Feldstein are siblings was a fun surprise.

Zoey Perry and Laurie Metcalf both play the role of Mary Cooper on Young Sheldon and The Big Bang Theory respectively. Laurie Metcalf is Zoey Perry's mother.
My good friend Michele, her Dad was Uncle Leo on Seinfeld. Pretty cool. She grew up in a different era and her Dad ensured the kids were down to Earth. Her babysitter was Ron Howard's wife 😂
So far my 1st & 2nd time watching this list today simultaneously on my phone & iPad. All of these celebrities that are related were rightfully ranked the way they were on this list, especially the honorable mentions, as well. Although I already knew that Janet Leigh & Jamie Lee Curtis are related years ago.
Jim Nabors was unfortunately related to me. I reached out to him in Hawaii multiple times. Not because I wanted anything. But because I wanted to know the story of a mutual relationship named Bittle. Completely ignored me I expected this much but it still hurt! All I wanted was a family history. Cora (Bittle) Casey, my great grandmother ran away from home because of a situation with her father so we never talked about that side of the family. Always wanted to know about them.
You forgot: George Clooney & Miguel Ferrer (cousins) Jason Patric & Jackie Gleason (grandson & grandfather) David Rievers & Corbin Bleu (father & son) Sissy Spacek & Rip Torn (cousins) Rob Schneider & Elle King (father & daughter)
Unclear why you bring up Jessica Leigh is Jamie Lee Curtis' mother and don't mention Tony Curtis is her father, even if you already think we know that.
Gloria Steinem is Christian Bale's step-mother. David Tennant married the daughter of Peter Davidson. So Doctor Who is essentially his own son-in-law. Sean Pertwee is the son of the Third Doctor. The Gummer Sisters - Mamie and Grace - look like Meryl Streep because they both are half-Meryl Streep, genetically. Dakota Johnson is the children of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith and the grandchild of Griffith's mother Tippi Hedren.
Peter DAVISON. Not “Davidson”. Peter Davison’s birth name is Peter MOFFAT. He chose “Davison” as his stage name. That’s why his daughter is Georgia MOFFAT.
For Snoop Dogg you should have gone with Sasha Banks. I don't care for her myself but that wasn't as well known as Brandy being his cousin. Y'all should do a wrestling family connection video though. Current pro wrestlers and their lesser known famous family members 👍
I knew a lot of these from the previous video but I had no idea Jennifer Jason Leigh is Vic Morrow’s Daughter or that The Robert Stack (grew up watching UM) was Taran’s Great Uncle 🤯
Other unmentioned relations: Mark Harmon is the uncle of Matt and Gunnar Nelson (of the 90s band Nelson), who in turn are the sons of Ricky Nelson and the grandsons of Ozzie & Harriet. Jordana and Paget Brewster are distant cousins, both direct male-line descendants of William Brewster, the leader of the community of passengers on the Mayflower. Ashley Judd is also a descendant of Brewster through her father. Denise Crosby is Bing Crosby's granddaughter.
Aloha Ms Mojo love your channel!! I wanted to add in the comments that I didn't know til after we started dating that my boyfriend is 2nd cousins with Joseph (Jason) Momoa. His dad and him are and were 1st cousins
The funny thing is Zoey Deutch wouldnt exist without the turkey Howard The Duck….her parents met making Some Kind Of Wonderful, which initially Lea passed on until HTD tanked so hard.

Introducing Stanley Tucci to her sister Felicity is one of the best things Emily Blunt could have done.

Jim Nabors was unfortunately related to me. I reached out to him in Hawaii multiple times. Not because I wanted anything. But because I wanted to know the story of a mutual relationship named Bittle. Completely ignored me I expected this much but it still hurt! All I wanted was a family history. Cora (Bittle) Casey, my great grandmother ran away from home because of a situation with her father so we never talked about that side of the family. Always wanted to know about them.
You forgot:
George Clooney & Miguel Ferrer (cousins)
Jason Patric & Jackie Gleason (grandson & grandfather)
David Rievers & Corbin Bleu (father & son)
Sissy Spacek & Rip Torn (cousins)
Rob Schneider & Elle King (father & daughter)
And both George Clooney (nephew) & Miguel Ferrer (son) are related to Rosemary Clooney.
So Mad Sweeney is the half-brother of Sabretooth! Now that is a freaking crossover!
Their father passed away in March this year.
Unclear why you bring up Jessica Leigh is Jamie Lee Curtis' mother and don't mention Tony Curtis is her father, even if you already think we know that.
Janet Leigh is Jamie Lee Curtis’s mother, not Jessica.
@@jamiethal1319 Not sure how I mistyped that. I've seen Psycho at least 6 times plus Angels in the Outfield and Bye Bye Birdie multiple times.
That is Elisabeth Shue, NOT Lea Thompson in the scene "Roads? Where we're going, we don't need.....roads" 6:29
ha when Lillie sung that song about Alfie doing nothing with his life and now lol
I’m pretty sure there are at least six degrees of separation between me and Kevin Bacon.
Forgot to mention Julia Roberts and Emma Roberts (they are Aunty and niece)
Everyone says that instead of mentioning that Emma is Eric Roberts daughter. He’s a famous and in my opinion, more talented actor.
Wow! Super cool. And for once full of things I didn't already know!
Gloria Steinem is Christian Bale's step-mother.
David Tennant married the daughter of Peter Davidson. So Doctor Who is essentially his own son-in-law.
Sean Pertwee is the son of the Third Doctor.
The Gummer Sisters - Mamie and Grace - look like Meryl Streep because they both are half-Meryl Streep, genetically.
Dakota Johnson is the children of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith and the grandchild of Griffith's mother Tippi Hedren.
Peter DAVISON.
Not “Davidson”.
Peter Davison’s birth name is Peter MOFFAT.
He chose “Davison” as his stage name.
That’s why his daughter is Georgia MOFFAT.
For Snoop Dogg you should have gone with Sasha Banks. I don't care for her myself but that wasn't as well known as Brandy being his cousin. Y'all should do a wrestling family connection video though. Current pro wrestlers and their lesser known famous family members 👍
Craig Bartlett Creator of Hey Arnold and Matt Groening The Simpsons creator are in laws
Yea
@JamalVargas yup Craig married Matt's sister lisa groening but I think they are separated now or even divorced
Yes and it was Lisa groening
@@samaravasiloff6381 mmmhhhmmm but the thing is would they ever do a simpsons and hey Arnold cross over
You forgot Lily and Alfie’s famous dad, actor Keith Allen.
I knew a lot of these from the previous video but I had no idea Jennifer Jason Leigh is Vic Morrow’s Daughter or that The Robert Stack (grew up watching UM) was Taran’s Great Uncle 🤯
Other unmentioned relations: Mark Harmon is the uncle of Matt and Gunnar Nelson (of the 90s band Nelson), who in turn are the sons of Ricky Nelson and the grandsons of Ozzie & Harriet.
Jordana and Paget Brewster are distant cousins, both direct male-line descendants of William Brewster, the leader of the community of passengers on the Mayflower. Ashley Judd is also a descendant of Brewster through her father.
Denise Crosby is Bing Crosby's granddaughter.
To be fair, William Brewster's famous descendants number in the scores.
Marisa Tomi and Julianne Moore were on a As The World turn together
I would love to see Warren and Shirley on stage together, even if just to present an award to someone else.
Same
Wow Kenny kravitz mom was on the jeffersons? Everybody that’s famous seems to have a famous parent lol
You mean Lenny Kravitz?
Yes, Roxie Roker. She played the wife in an interracial marriage
@@lisatolliver2866 Interracial marriage in real life too.
Aloha Ms Mojo love your channel!! I wanted to add in the comments that I didn't know til after we started dating that my boyfriend is 2nd cousins with Joseph (Jason) Momoa. His dad and him are and were 1st cousins
I’m related to Norman Rockwell on my father’s side.
That's cool. I love his artwork.
yo same, not even messing with you
Jason Sudekis & George Wendt. No surprise there. They r both fuckin' hilarious.
I'm related to Luis Valentin from El Super Trio. Only old hispanic people will notice that name. He did have 2 hits. Las Cadenas and 25 Rosas
I would add Jennifer Aniston and her Father. He has starred on Days of Our Lives for over 30 years as Victor
Come to think about it, both Jonah and Beanie have similar jaws forms.
They look the same it’s crazy
And their noses...
The funny thing is Zoey Deutch wouldnt exist without the turkey Howard The Duck….her parents met making Some Kind Of Wonderful, which initially Lea passed on until HTD tanked so hard.
I've heard of about half a dozen of these people. Guess I'll go read a book.
Remember... Brandy has a famous brother..named Ray J!
