Anyone Related to Anyone Famous? (page 4)

Let's just say that many of the traits survived and are going strong...

Oh how cool would it be if it was!

It turns out that her name is Lily Melgar. This is what it says on her bio:

Melgar is best known for her role as mob daughter/wife Lily Rivera Corinthos on General Hospital, starring opposite Maurice Benard and Ricky Martin (who she was also involved with in real life for a brief time).

Boyfriend tells me that she was engaged to Ricky for a very short while but it all went downhill. (The family were very excited though. LOL)

Apparently she was also on the Bold & the Beautiful for a short while.

Here's a pic - perhaps you recognise her?

I am related to Carl Weathers (cousin).
He was in Action Jackson, Predator, Rocky lll & lV, and some of Adam Sandler's movies. I've never met him but my grandfather had a phone conversation with him before he passed (my grandfather, not Carl).

I also have a cousin, Robert Weathers, who played for the New England Patriots ('82-'86).
We used to visit with him and his family years ago but we lost contact and I last heard he had moved. I also have another ex-pro football cousin, Clarence Weathers, he played for New England ('83-'84), Cleveland ('85-'88), Idiana ('89), Kansas ('89), and then Greenbay ('90-'91).

correction: Carl Weathers was in all of the Rocky movies except for V.

A long time ago, my father's sister told the family that she'd had our family tree (on my father's side) researched and found that we were descendants of "Richard the Lion-hearted"........I learned not long ago, after researching this info online that this is pure bullship and my Aunt was sold a pack of lies.

However, I do recall that two of my cousins, Paul, Jr. and Lindsey Wayne Minter were accomplished musicians and into rock music and bands even when I was a kid. So I looked 'em up and here they are......
