This is super random but I was watching the acceptance clip of Madeline Kahn winning the Tony in 1993 and realized that Natasha Richardson and Lynn Redgrave were nominated in the same category. Being that Lynn is Natasha's aunt, I wondered if any other relatives been nominated in the same category and same year? Or is this the one lone example?

If you're including married spouses, I can think of Michele Pawk (HOLLYWOOD ARMS) and John Dossett (GYSPY) in 2003 &Tracy Letts and Carrie Coon last year.

I still remember Rosemary Harris looking surprisingly pissed off that her daughter her beat her! Isn't that like, vicariously winning a Tony at least?
