Fact or Fiction: 8 Celebrity Pairs That Are Rumored to Be Related

[snopes]

When your father or aunt is a doctor, something inside you might say, ‘you should be a doctor also.’ Celebrities have that same inspiration too! Families like the Osmond’s, Jackson’s, Hilton’s and Kardashian’s keep their celebrity status in the family and attract press from each other. Some celebrities, however, are more low-key about their famous, or even legendary, family member. These familial relations are kept so under wraps that we’re sometimes not certain whether it’s fact of fake.

Some celebrity siblings are quite obvious, like Beyoncé and Solange, or Brandy and Ray J. But there are other pairs that may not be so apparent.

Wow. Big sale on apostrophes? The whole article is sprinkled with free bonus apostrophes. Or should I say apostrophe's?

It's also a very strange article since it just reports the rumors and doesn't really confirm or debunk.

On that second post, I had only heard of 3 of the 'stars', and yes, I knew about Warren and Shirley.

At this point, is there anyone who is old enough to recognize Shirley and Warren who doesn't know?

Seaboe.

Joan Fontaine and Olivia de Haviland -- anyone remember them?

Donald Glover of The Closer is Danny Glover's first cousin.

Yup. And their feud.

The Talmadge sisters (Constance was one; I think there were 3 total). Charlie Chaplin & Geraldine Chaplin. The Gish sisters. Gypsy Rose Lee & June Havoc (sisters). Otto Preminger and Eric Lee Preminger (father & son).

In their time, I suppose none of those were obscure, though.

ETA: and a 3 generationer that's not the Barrymores: Gene, June & Anne Lockhart

Do you mean Robert Gossett of The Closer is the cousin of Louis Gossett Jr.? Cause I don't think Donald Glover is on the Closer

Same here - them and J Lo. I had heard of seven people in total from those two articles. As well as those three, Cuba Gooding Jr., Aaliyah, Gladys Knight and Jay-Z.

They wrung a whole article from a throwaway MST3K song?
You can name three, well I can name four: there's Dudley, Dinty, Roger, and Mary Tyler Moore!

I was thinking the exact same skit, Pudding Crawl.
