My dad always told me and my sisters that our grandmother was her cousin. Never could prove or disprove it. I doubt it honestly. What are the odds of being a distant relative of your absolute favorite actress of all time? I think hes nuttier than trail mix.
That's so interesting! It could be true. We have a similar story in our family. My family is from a small town where a famous actor was born. I had heard rumors from the older folks that when the actor was a kid, people in town said that my great-great uncle was his biological father. I chalked it up to being another "crazy uncle" story, but then I saw a photo of my great-great uncle at a family reunion. Turns out, he was a performer as well and the actor looked just like him. I'm not so skeptical now!
Spot on… and as for Hattie McDaniel? ❤️
