Also Saddam Hussein. My friend has a family member who is a Middle Eastern politician.

I grew up with the newest RHWNY, Tinsley Mortimer. I cannot believe she's doing this show. She's a nice person who has made some really bad decisions over the last 10 years. I blame her mother.

The most famous person I'm connected to by blood, is the British Royal Family.

The most famous person I'm connected to because my husband knows him well is, Rob Lowe.

I'm pretty happy with those.

There are more but I feel this is the most important.


I have one too. One of my bffs and bridesmaids taught both of his kids at a private school in NYC. She would have to do parent/teacher conferences with him and Kyra Sedgwick. She said Kyra was super sweet and Kevin, while nice, was super serious. Their kids were great kids, nice family.


They used to live right near me and I used to see the whole family all the time.

OT, but I loved the book about him "The Catcher Was a Spy."

Via marriage related to a member of the Danish royal family.
