Famous relations

Does anybody out there have any famous relations.

I'll start the ball rolling with Windsor Davies, who's a step uncle of mine.

Some of you may not know him, but he was the Sargeant Major In It Ain't half hot mum and was also In Never the Twain an 80s comedy.

Re: Famous relations

My Dad told me we are related to Audrey Hepburn.

Can't remember how but I think she's a 3rd cousin or something like that.

So not really related then.

Re: Famous relations

My father-in-laws first cousin is Nigel Winterburn (ex Arsenal player), F.I.L grew up with him but they have since lost touch. I'm not fussed though, I'm an LFC supporter!

Father-in-laws brother is Steve Winterburn, (artist / sculptor - and a good one at that, I have seen his work first hand, totally amazing...)

Re: Famous relations

2nd or 3rd cousin ( never quite sure, I will have to check...) to Cynthia Lennon.
Hence by marriage to John Lennon.
