View Full Version : Best musical/acting families
Ron mentioned this but then passed of it in the show today, so I thought I would just put up a thread.
I'm a fan of music but besides the Wainwrights I'm not super familiar with a lot of musical dynasties. Actors though I am pretty familiar with, for example.
Barrymores (John, Lionel, Ethel, Drew)
Fondas (Henry, Peter, Jane, Bridget, and Troy Garity
Derns (Bruce, Lauren-her mother Diane Ladd)
Scott (George C. Scott, Campbell Scott-his mother was Colleen Dewhurst)
Carradine (John, David, Keith, Robert, Martha Plimpton)
Redgraves (Micheal, Lynne, Vanessa, Corin, Jemma, Natasha Richardson, Joely Richardson-daughters of Tony Richardson)
Bridges (Lloyd, Beau, Jeff, Jordan)
Mills (John, Haley, Juliette)
Marx Brothers
Who are some of the other great performing families

and Derek's wife Susan Tedeschi
I'm an idiot to have forgotten about Earls, Carters and Seegers (I love Steve Earl)

For me its Ray and Dave Davies. But thats not much of a dynasty. I guess the correct answer would be The Wilsons of the Beach Boys.

Easily, the Kelly Family
These wackjobs have been around since the 70's, and have sold MILLIONS of records to those moronic europeans.
Multi-multi generational....and apparantly a huge following.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kelly_Family
The Kelly Family is a European-American music group consisting of a multi-generational family, who plays from a repertoire of rock, pop and folk music. They have enjoyed considerable chart and concert success in Europe and other parts of the world, especially in Germany, the Benelux countries, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Spain and Portugal. They have sold over 20 million albums since the early 1980s.
