Old Hollywood: Did You Know?: Movie Star Siblings

Did you know that there were many Old Hollywood movie stars who has siblings who were also stars?Some you might recognize but some might actually surprise you. I didn't know that Estelle Evans (To Kill a Mockingbird), Rosanna Carter (Numerous TV guest roles), and Esther Rolle (Good Times) were sisters and yet I have seen each of them in many shows and films. 

I can only imagine that having a sibling to support you during the ups and downs in a career like moving making would have been very comforting. Many of the siblings you see here in this post were also a part of the Hollywood studio system. The studios were very strict and controlling of their stars so I like to think siblings like Warren Beatty and Shirley MacLaine helped each other when times got tough.
