  Speaker 1: I have a list here, and it's a list that
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: involves celebrities. Oh, people love... That's the.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: That's the... That's the kind they love the best.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: It's a double whammy, isn't it? Wow, all right.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: So here we go.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: It's Radio From Hell with another list.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Because people love a good list.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: X96. So it says here, it's a popular topic these days. Okay.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Celebrities who are related to other... Celebrities.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Well, that's like extra celebrity.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Hollywood is full of stars with connections that extend beyond
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: working relationships, and oftentimes those relationships can lead to incredible opportunities.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: But this article specifically focuses on 14 celebrities who have
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: famous godchildren. Huh? So the celebrities are... the godmother or
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: godfather of someone who was also famous. Who was also famous.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Is Marlon Brando one of them?
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Marlon Brando's dead, Gina. I don't know if I, I
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: didn't want to break that to you. Meryl Streep and
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Billy Lord, for instance.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Billy Lord is Carrie Fisher's kid.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yes. And Meryl Streep is her godmother. Oh. And
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: when asked by Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: about the best part of having Meryl Streep for a godmother,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Billy Lord said, well, She's Meryl Streep. That's the best
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: part of it.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: So Postcards from the Edge is a book that Carrie
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Fisher wrote.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Turned into a movie.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: And it's loosely based on Carrie Fisher's life with her mother,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Debbie Reynolds. And in the movie, they aren't Carrie Fisher
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: and Debbie Reynolds.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: They're two other characters. But Meryl Streep played the Carrie
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Fisher role.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Really? Okay. So, Cecily Tyson and Lenny Kravitz.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Roxy Roker.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Lenny Kravitz bore famous daughter Zoe, but he had other
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: star connections as a child, too. His godmother was prolific
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: actress and Academy Award nominee Cecily Tyson. When Tyson passed
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: away in 2021, Lenny Kravitz paid tribute to his godmother,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: She had inimitable style and grace. My dear, sweet godmother,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Miss Cicely Tyson. And, yeah.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: His mom's Roxy Roker on The Jeffersons.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's Al Roker's sister. I just made that up.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Marissa Tomei and Zoe Kravitz. Really? Yeah. As her father
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: was given a famous godmother, so too was Zoe Kravitz
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: in the form of my cousin Vinnie Star, Marissa Tomei. Hmm.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: She was even interviewed by her godmother for InStyle magazine
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: in 2018. I'm sure you read that, Gina.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Tomei named Kravitz as one of her mates in the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: entertainment industry. Henry Winkler and Bryce Dallas Howard. Well, that
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: makes sense. Yeah. Because Henry Winkler and Ronnie Howard have
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: been together, you know, associated for years. Let's see. Sophia
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Loren and Drew Barrymore. How could this have happened? Drew Barrymore,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Carlo Ponte Jr., Sophia Loren, and Eduardo Ponte. Let's see. Oh,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: that's a caption of a picture. Sophia Loren, Hollywood icon,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: goddaughter is Drew Barrymore. Of course, Drew Barrymore is from
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: an acting dynasty, the Barrymores. And her other godparents include
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Steven Spielberg and Anna Strasberg, wife of famous acting coach
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Lee Strasberg. As a child, Barrymore spent summers at Lauren's Ranch.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: And so it's because she's from just Hollywood royalty. See,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I knew that Spielberg was her godfather. And Sophia Loren
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: is her godmother. Let's see who else. Oh, now here's
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Drew Barrymore again. Drew Barrymore is godmother to Francis Bean Cobain.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: In addition to having famous godparents, Drew Barrymore is the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: famous godparents of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love's daughter, Francis Bean.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Love and Barrymore have remained close since the 90s, and
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Barrymore even dated the whole guitarist Eric Erlandson from 94
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to 96. So it's just her close relationship with Courtney Love.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Joan Collins and Cara Delevingne? Hmm. I don't see. So
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Joan Collins, actress and author. She's still alive.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: By the way.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: She's a million years old.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: She's just fine. Yeah, it doesn't say how old she
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: is here. But she's godmother to Cara Delevingne, who is
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: an actress and model. And... So that's what I always
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: wanted to say to Cara Delevingne, said Joan Collins. I
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: said to her, from when she said it... This makes
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: no sense. Never mind, I'm not going to read it.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Norman Lear and Katie Seagal. Norman Lear, who's now gone,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: but he's Katie Seagal's godfather. And... Why? Oh, because she
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: was in... Lear produced all in the family, Sanford and Son,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the Jeffersons. When asked by TV Guide in 2005 whether
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: her deep roots in the TV industry added any stress
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to her career, Seagal said, in a weird way, it
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: never felt like pressure, but more like, oh, this is
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: what I'm going to do. My father really wanted me
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to be an actor, but I was going to be
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: a singer. I said, no, no, I'm going to be
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: an actor. As it happened, it worked out in his favor.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: It doesn't say why.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: She's... Her dad must have known Norman Lear.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I guess. Jacqueline Bessette and Angelina Jolie. Really?
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: So Angelina Jolie's mom was a minor actress, and she
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: probably was friends with.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: She's the godmother to Angelina Jolie, the daughter of John
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Wynne Bessette. Oh, because Jacqueline Bessette co-starred with John Voight
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: in a film called End of the Game. That's how
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: that happened.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: That's how that happened?
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Doesn't take much. Jamie Lee Curtis and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Her godchildren are both of them, Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: There's Steven Spielberg as godfather to Gwyneth Paltrow. That makes sense.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Elton John as godfather to Brooklyn and Romeo Beckham. Because
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: he's a big soccer guy. Let's see. Dolly Parton. You
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: know who Dolly Parton's goddaughter is? Who? Miley Cyrus.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't know that.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: That makes sense.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: And Macaulay Culkin and Paris Jackson. That also makes sense.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Because Macaulay Culkin was close to Michael Jackson. Yeah. When
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: he was very young. Yeah. So there you go. All right,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: there you go. We've hoped you'd enjoyed another list with
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Radio From Hell on X96. One more. Brad Wheeler would
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: like us to know that Les Paul is Steve Miller's godfather. Okay,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: that makes sense.
