Review Not surprisingly, there are a lot of brothers and sisters in Hollywood as the acting bug tends to spread among families. Which movie stars of today have a brother or sister, or even several in the same business? Have they ever shared the big screen together? Here are a few answers that perhaps you didn't expect...
Patricia Arquette has 3 siblings in the acting biz: Rosanna, Richmond, David and Alexis, a transsexual born Robert. David and Rosanna have solid film careers. I could not find any films where any of them shared the sTAGe, but if it's any consolation, David directed an episode of Medium, the Tv show where Patricia is the star. Rosanna guest starred on the show in 2008, as did Richmond in 2006.
