I knew most of these but I never knew about Carly!! Lol no wonder she never needed that tour money !!

Nicolas Cage is nephew to Francis Ford Coppola and cousins with Sofia.

I didn't know about Sigourney Weaver, Carly Simon or Larry Hagman. And I was just wondering the other day if Roxie Roker and Al Roker were related! (I was lying in bed thinking about Lenny Kravitz... don't ask why)

I did not know there was a third DeLuise brother besides "I'M IN ES-CA-ROW!" and 21 Jump Street. Well, TIL.

Difference being, a lot of these people are genuinely talented. You also never hear these people crying about how hard it was for them to break into the business with famous relatives either.

Because their was no Twitter or social media then. If you missed a magazine article or tv interview that was it. Now people dig stuff up or share it the second someone says something. Ben Stiller comes to mind.

[fimh]

they def did complain in interviews and stuff but why would you be hearing about it in 2022?
