Famous stars whose ancestors are even more famous than they are

[post_page_title]Brooke Shields and Henry IV[/post_page_title]
Though she’s now mostly doing guest spots, there was a time when Brooke Shields was the hottest name in entertainment. Modeling since she was 12, she got into acting with films such as The Blue Lagoon. She then took a break to get a Princeton degree (no big deal), and went back to showbiz. Tracing her ancestry, success was in her genes – she’s related to an emperor, a saint, a pope, and two kings! Her paternal grandmother was an Italian princess, and through her she’s related to the wildly popular Henry IV of France, known as Good King Henry.
