Do you have any relatives who are"famous" and we might know? My cousin Michael, who has been gone for 30 years now, may his soul rest in peace was on the cover of tv guide second most in history. He was in 3 tv shows: highway to heaven, little house on the prairie and Bonanza. His stage name was Michael Landon.

There’s a short list of more actors that have starred in two solid hits, but list for actors with 3 hit shows is minuscule

Having said that I’ve never seen an episode of ā€œHighway to Heavenā€. Only watched a few episodes of ā€œLittle House on the Prairieā€ in reruns.

Roger Waters is my cousin. For the record I can’t stand Pink Floyd. I never got it.

I always enjoyed Michael Landon. It's hard to believe he's been gone 30 years.

Landon died relatively young

A distant uncle of mine designed Evel Knievel's Skycycle. We don't talk about that at family reunuions.

My uncle was in the NBA but he just divorced my aunt so guess he’s not really my uncle anymore and now both of my cousins (their sons) are in the NBA. I used to live with them and we grew up super close but now one of them is a superstar basically and we lost touch. Now I hate watching the NBA because it reminds me of the family I lost.

Roger Waters is a total ass and an old fuck with lots of money who took credit for David Gilmour's work. The rest of the group still hates him for his enormous ego and big mouth.

It’s impressive hearing about skibum609’s relative, Michael Landon. He seemed like a very good man. He passed too early.

I’ve got nothing. I am lucky that there are no famous relatives in my family. Explaining my activities might be a bit tricky, if I had a famous sibling, whose content wasn’t primarily on porn hub.

I remember there was this really left-wing individual who turned out was distantly related to Mitt Romney.

I did not let him live it down the whole 2012 election campaign time period. 😈

No one famous that I know of. Unless infamous counts.

Nobody famous in my family, although I did get on Road Rules on MTV one night, and I was on Sportscenter clapping in front of Shaq in a suite the night he was introduced to the Suns crowd. FAMOUS!

My buddy's mom was in Playboy in the 70s. Saw her many times from about 2002 - 2010. Still looked fantastic for her age. And nope, not telling you who she is. You'll just have to thumb through the sticky pages of your collections and wonder.

Hahaha, no, not the governor from Super Troopers. She didn't become a household name.

Michael Landon? Skifredo is not fucking related to Landon Ape. He’s related to michaelthecrab. And I’ve heard that michaelthecrab is an idiot. Which tracks, because fredothecrab is also an idiot.

I, on the other hand, am related to many famous badasses. You have probably never heard of rickus badassicus. Nero-ape served him by feeding him Christians. Used to wear a toga and fuck senators’ wives. Well, I can trace my lineage directly back to ol’ rickus. ROAR!!!

I had a great uncle who was a decorated paratrooper and spy I WW 2 who Winston Churchill wrote about in one of his autobiographies. Closet I come to someone famous.

Btw - my HS Health teacher claimed to have dated Michael Landon in high school. They went to Collingswood NJ high school. He was a state Javelin champ. She was an attractive woman.

Be careful. Don’t give away too much on these anonymous forums or people may figure out your identity

I'm the illegitimate son of Prince Phillip, The Duke of Edinburgh. Old coot knocked up my mother who was a chambermaid at Buckingham Palace. The Queen threatened to have him beheaded if he ever acknowledged my existance, and banished me to America. So here I am, a PL like the rest.

Phillip's last words were an act of contrition, and a pledge of half his worldly possessions to me and my mother, but sadly, he owned nothing at all, not even his underwear or baseball caps.

The Queen called me and vowed to live longer than me so the truth will never come out. So far the old bag is doing a good job of it.

I've spent a portrait of a distant relative (from 1 of my grandmother's side) on numerous occasions in strip clubs over the years. (Not saying whether president or non-president.)
