Who Do They Know?

Posted: 8/10/11 at 2:32pm

Remember Forbidden Broadway had a song called "Who Do They Know?" that listed people in show business who were related to someone else in show business? (Liza & Judy were more than just friends)

So let's list the current crop of actors that are related.

Gwyneth Paltrow - Blythe & Bruce

Ben Stiller - Jerry and Anne

Jason Sudeikis - uncle is George Wendt (Norm from Cheers)

Abby Elliott - father is Chris Elliott

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Jason Sudeikis clearly won the DNA lottery in that family! I'd let him in the back door.

And isn't Nicholas Cage's last name really Coppola?

I think my favorite is the mother-daughter duo Rosemary Harris - Jennifer Ehle. I would go almost anywhere to see them in a beautiful, lush production of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body
