Kate Hudson - my god i had no idea her mum is Goldie Hawn

Just finished season 2 of Running Point (really good)

Ewan McGregor's uncle was in Star Wars.

@theRealRoseByAnyOtherName , thanks. I'd already pointed it out upthread.

@Handeyethingyowl , thanks. I've not seen the 5th Doctor's daughter in anything so I can't comment on how talented she is but I think that her husband did not rely on nepotism, as I'm sure you agree.

Angela Lansbury's (murder she wrote) grandfather was leader of the Labour Party. A very interesting man.

I'm wondering too, if it begins with a S..

Anyone who watches Law &Order in the afternoons will see Linus Roache,son of William Roache (Ken Barlow in Coronation Street)

I mean they talk about each other all the time and appear together loads so it’s pretty weird you didn’t know that if you’ve heard of either of them at all. Or you don’t care about such things, which is fine, but then why write this post?!

Former Labour MP Claire Short and comedy acting legend Martin Short are first cousins.

???

Alexander Armstrong’s wife is the sister of Giles Coren’s wife, and Giles Coren’s sister is Victoria Coren Mitchell, married to David Mitchell.

What? You don’t think it’s weird someone interested enough in celebrities to make a post about them didn’t know Kate Hudson was Goldie Hawn’s daughter?!

Ray Davies of The Kinks has a child with Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders, who has a child with Jim Kerr of Simple Minds, who has a child with Patsy Kensit, who has a child with Liam Gallagher of Oasis, who has a child with Nicole Appleton of All Saints (or after Liam Gallagher of Oasis you could say who has a child with Lisa Moorish, who has a child with Pete Doherty of The Libertines).

Emma Roberts is Julia Roberts niece.

Karen Dotice who played Jane Banks in Mary Poppins is the sister of Michele Dotice who played Betty Spencer in Some Mothers Do Ave Em.

It depends how old you are I suppose..some people are of an age where they may not know who Kate Hudson let alone GH.

Michele Dotrice's husband was Edward Woodward.

Your post was hundreds of posts into a thread.

Dakota Johnston mum dad and gran

And married to Mark Ronson

jennifer Anniston’s Godfather was Telly Savalas

Oh come on ! My parents worked really hard but still couldn't afford to send me to be educated privately . I am so glad as it is elitist nonsense.

Their father,Roy Dotrice,was a famous actor.

And whose father played the Russian skating coach inThe Cutting Edge?

Sorry, I crossed with the post before mine.

Nicole Kidman's daughter is apparently now a supermodel.

Candace Bergen's daughter Chloe Malle just stepped up to head Vogue.

Oh, and 👋
