Whether you know someone who is related to a famous person or maybe you yourself have a Hollywood star in your lineage, it’s always fun to hear about who’s who and how they are connected to the family. In fact, many of your favorite soap vets are related to some pretty well-known people… like Diana Ross, Billie Eilish, Pollyanna, the Incredible Hulk and others.
For instance, did you know that former The Young and the Restless actress Alyvia Alyn Lind (ex-Faith) is the daughter of One Tree Hill’s Barbara Alyn Lind (Deb)? Or that Yellowstone’s Jennifer Landon (Teeter), who won a Daytime Emmy Award for her role on As the World Turns as Gwen, is the daughter of Michael Landon, best known for his characters on Little House on the Prairie, Bonanza and Highway to Heaven.
