Random But True Children's Literary Connections of the Rich and Famous
January 28, 2008




I'm in a random mood today.  Anywho, this is amusing.

Laura Vaccaro Seeger - Pete Seeger is her husband's uncle.

Brian Selznick - His grandfather was a cousin of David Selznick, best known for producing the epic blockbuster Gone with the Wind.

Jessica M. Pigza - Her uncle inspired Jack Gantos to name his character Joey Pigza.

Fun!

Thank you for this. Here's how much of a film nerd my mother is: when I first handed her a copy of Cabret to read, she immediately said, "Selznick? Like the filmmaker?" NOW I get it.

To me the all-time most surprising celebrity kidlit conenction is the Paula Fox/ Courtney Love family tree.
