Question: Were Katharine and Audrey Hepburn Related!?
Its bugging me!.Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
No they weren't sisters!. They're not even related!.

Audrey Hepburn is not her real name!. It was just a stage name!. Her real name was Kathleen Ruston!.

Whereas Katherine Hepburn was the real name of Katherine Hepburn!.

And besides Katherine Hepburn was American, Audrey Hepburn was from Belgium!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

If they were, it was very distantly!.

Audrey Hepburn was born Audrey Kathleen Ruston[1] on Rue Keyenveld/Keienveldstraat in Ixelles/Elsene, a municipality in Brussels, Belgium, she was the only child of the Englishman Joseph Victor Anthony Ruston[2] and his second wife, the former Baroness Ella van Heemstra, a Dutch aristocrat, who was a daughter of a former governor of Dutch Guiana!.[2]
Her father later prepended the surname of his maternal grandmother, Kathleen Hepburn, to the family's and her surname became Hepburn-Ruston!.[2]

Katherine Hepburn was born in Hartford, Connecticut, the daughter of Katharine Houghton Hepburn (née Houghton) and Dr!. Thomas Horval Hepburn, who was a successful urologist from Virginia with Maryland roots!. She is of English ancestry from both sides of her family!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

It is sometimes claimed that Audrey Hepburn and Katharine Hepburn were related!. The truth is they were only very distantly related, and certainly had never met before the former's rise to prominence!. The closest relationship that has been identified for them is 19th cousins once removed!. It has also been claimed that Audrey chose the last name Hepburn in honor of Katharine when she became an actress; however, the record shows that it was part of her family name for some time before she entered show business!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

No they were not!.

But I'd like to point out that Audrey Hepburn was not a stage name, as someone has said!. She was born Audrey Kathleen Ruston, but later her father found out he had some ancestors named 'Hepburn', so he decided to add it to his surname, and then Audrey had to do the same!. So her name was Audrey Kathleen Ruston-Hepburn!. It's just that she didn't use 'Kathleen' and 'Ruston'!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
