Members Paul Raven Posted December 18, 2019 Members Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Slick Jones mentioned in the Soap Hoppers thread that Patrick O'Connell (Neil Everest GL) was the father of singer Billie Ellish . That got me thinking about actors well known in soaps that had siblings/spouses/relatives etc that had made a name for themselves in other areas. Hope you can add to this list. To begin Maeve Kincaid (Vanessa GL) is the sister in law of Meryl Streep. Joan Copeland (Andrea SFT, Monica HTSAM etc ) is the sister of playwright Arthur Miller (Death of A Salesman etc) and one time sister in law of Marilyn Monroe. Hugh Franklin (Charles AMC) was married to author Madeleine L'Engle (A Wrinkle in Time) Over to you guys...

Members BetterForgotten Posted December 18, 2019 Members Share Posted December 18, 2019 Slightly off topic - It would be great if Meryl could get her sister-in-law a minor role in one of her films. I've always thought Maeve could have been a classic movie star if she moved in that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted December 18, 2019 Members Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Judy Lewis (ex-Susan, SECRET STORM; ex-Barbara Vining, GH), who also worked BTS as a producer (TEXAS) and writer (SFT), was the daughter of Academy Award winners Loretta Young and (now it can be told) Clark Gable. (IIRC, she was conceived during the filming of 1935's "Call of the Wild.") Steven Ford (ex-Andy, Y&R) is, of course, the son of the late, 38th President of the United States, Gerald R. Ford; and his wife, Betty, whose clinic has helped countless, high-profile celebrities get off the pills, booze and needles over the past few decades. And Clementine Ford (ex-Mac, Y&R) is the daughter of legendary model/"singer"/homewrecker/"actress," Cybill Shepherd.
