My GS asked this one - the leader of the Royal Philharmonic in the 50s and his son, a cellist; the author Louis Golding; twin cousins who were well known in the 50s/60s on the stage and my brother in law who was an academic and very well known in his field. Lastly, Dora Bloch who was the only hostage to ride at Entebbe was my father’s cousin.

There is an identical thread somewhere else I thought, running currently?

Yes two well know actors

Yes and he is very well known circa 1980's . He is very private also despite being a star in a huge tv program.

Ylvamoon · 27/03/2023 22:40

Not famous now, but one of my relatives was a well known artist in the 1920's.
I didn't know until someone mentioned it... looked him up and it turned out he mainly painted nudes. 😳

ALongHardWinter · 27/03/2023 22:44

I'm distantly related (on my dad's side) to Bert Weedon.

MayhemMostly · 27/03/2023 22:46

My legs think they are related to Paddington. <sigh >

YourUserNameMustBeAtLeast3Characters · 27/03/2023 22:56

No. Not in the slightest.

And yet there are people related to both Lewis and Peter Capaldi, which is just greedy.

IfOnlyOurEyesSawSouls · 27/03/2023 23:46
