Children of legendary Hollywood stars of the 30s and 40s; guess who their parent is:
Hint: The kids here are the same gender as their famous parent, and still living (the kids, not the parent).

1. I'm guessing #1 is...
Mae West's daughter & #4 actually looks like Joan Bennett herself?

I have no guesses who the others are.

2. Nope & nope. All of these folks' parents were HUGE stars.
Mae West didn't have any kids; they didn't suit her lifestyle.

19. Was Cheryl the one who killed Lana's boyfriend?
It's been a long time.
I forget the details.
She was acquited, I think.
Self-defense?

26. My brother went to public high school with John Clark Gable. Says he was
a normal kid. Clark Gable died 4 months before he was born, and his mother brought him up outside the glare of Hollywood.

15. Just from the hairstyle,
I thought #1 might be Rita Hayworth's daughter.

By the way, Jayne Mansfield's daughter is Mariska Hargitay:

17. Mansfield also had a daughter from her first ('secret') marriage.
Just guessing by the appearance of the woman in the picture I pegged them both at around 60-ish. Regardless, I was wrong.

By the way, Mariska's a hottie! :9

29. Jayne Marie Mansfield is Mansfield's other (oldest) daughter:
There are plenty of adult pix of Jayne Marie out there -she did some nude layouts in the 70s, which I can't post here. This pic is at from the 1960s; she'd be 60ish by now. Mariska was a toddler when her mother died.

20. Hmmm
Some guesses -- the first woman related to Ethel Merman; the second one, Irene Dunne; the first man -- Humphrey Bogart's son; the 4th woman, Olivia DeHaviland's daughter; the second man, I'll guess Steve McQueen but I don't remember if he had any kids; the last man, I don't know, I'll guess Tyrone Power.
