Some of the ones I remember, just because I’m old and involve some of my favorite movies.
Lionel Barrymore (Mr. Potter from It’s a Wonderful Life) is Drew Barrymore’s Great Uncle.
Debbie Reynolds (Singin’ in the Rain, God I love that movie) was Carrie Fisher’s mom.
I think everyone knows Dakota Johnson’s parents, Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith.
Shirley Maclaine (The Apartment and Two Mules for Sister Sara) is Warren Beatty’s sister.
And some cool but not duo-celebrity relative facts.
Ewan McGregor’s brother was a pilot in the RAF and his call sign was Obi-Two.
The awesome Bogart movie, To Have and Have Not (“Put your lips together and blow”) was written by Hemingway and adapted into a screenplay by William Faulkner. Both considered in the top five of all time American authors. (Unless you think Steinbeck was better, then 6th (Which I don’t)). Faulkner and Hemingway were not particularly fond of each other, but then I don’t think there was a lot of love lost between Hemingway and his contemporaries.

These are great!
The obi-two factoid is the most fun of the facts.
It’s cute in an “I’m gonna kill you but it’ll be funny because Jedi” kinda way.
