Do you know how these TV stars are related?

See how well you know the television family tree.

In Hollywood, it helps to know someone. It especially helps if you have a relative in showbiz. Some actors were born into the trade. Others have a sibling or cousin who got a break.

We've paired up some TV stars from across the decades. See if you can correctly guess how they are related. Fair warning — they might not be related at all.

Good luck!

11/12. Foiled by #7. At least I got all the easy ones.
2. After four seasons in a recurring role, Dirk Blocker is now a regular cast member on FOX's Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

6/13. Nothing to brag about 😕. I knew the older ones. The newer ones left me clueless. How about this one: how were gossip columnist Hedda Hopper and William Hopper (Paul Drake on Perry Mason) related? Yep, they were Mother and Son, just like William Hopper's co-star Barbara Hale and William Katt were.

10/12. I missed 6 and 10. Some were educated guesses (Mostly inferrences from the variance in options).
