Those in all the arts, including films, related by blood or by marriage. Just for fun. You can list as many in a post as you wish, but please list their relationships, too. Following posts don't have to be linked to the previous post, but they can be if inspiration strikes. I'll start with this, nice and simple: Actor Jim Hutton was the father of actor, Timothy Hutton, who was married first to actress Debra Winger. Their son, Noah Hutton, is a director/cinematographer. Timothy's second marriage was to graphic film artist Aurore Giscard d'Estaing. To my surprise, I discovered that her uncle is Valéry Giscard d'Estainglink, the president of France from 1974 until 1981. (He's not in the arts, I know, but seriously, how could I let that one go by?) Have fun. And thanks in advance. I won't be able to respond too often in the coming days, as I'm off on a business trip soon. But I'll read and respond when I can.

Werner Klemperer has 92 credits and is best known to Americans as Colonel Klink from Hogan's Heroes, a TV series of which I only know the name. I know him as a supporting actor in gangster and war movies. His father was Otto Klemperer, arguably the greatest orchestral conductor of his era.
I noted WK on the cast list of Ship of Fools (1965). Next night I noticed another supporting actor with an unusual surname which was the same as an eminent conductor's. I checked him out and it was the same story. Damn my senility! I cannot remember who it was. Help me out here, guys!

london777 , I see you liked this post of mine. May I ask whether that was the correct answer or not? And I'll second spiderwort in saying that, if you remembered the name of the movie you were watching, it would help us greatly. I had never heard of Zimbalist Senior, although I assumed there must have been one. Looking him up now, I see it was a very good suggestion on your part and a very valid answer.

Her recording of "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny," was the first recording by a classical artist to sell a million copies. (Who sez that I fill my brain with bits of useless information?!

As I was watching an episode of TV-series High Chaparral end credits flashing by, a name stuck out: Erich von Stroheim Jr.
Erich von Stroheim Jr's father was indeed THAT Erich von Stroheim! Apparently Erich von Stroheim Jr. was busy as an assistant director in around 42 movies and TV productions, in movies from Home in Indiana 1944 to Medium Cool 1968 and for TV from I Led 3 Lives 1955 to High Chaparral 1968.
Erich von Stroheim Jr's brother Josef von Stroheim worked as a sound editor in around 58 movies and TV productions, for movies from Invasion of the Saucer Men 1958 to So Fine 1981, and for TV from Medic 1954 to The Bourne Identity 1988.

Although, on the other hand, I will say that Peter Lorre, Jr., was NOT Peter Lorre's son...
