You can't count the number of children of stars in Hollywood, and you may not know their identity. Sometimes a celebrity is a family matter. And sometimes, even those directly involved do not know.

It is often said that the world is small; this rule applies even to the world of show business. Some stars discovered they were related after genealogical research was published in the newspapers.
