All of the celebs on this list aren't distantly related to notable historical figures - these individuals can actually claim direct descent from at least one historically significant ancestor. Celebrity ancestors include royals, politicians, and artists - in other words, accomplished people who are known outside the context of their famous descendant.
Whether they appeared on a genealogy show - like PBS's Finding Your Roots, African American Lives, or the BBC's Who Do You Think You Are? - or grew up hearing about their famous ancestors, these actors, musicians, and personalities are appreciative of their storied backgrounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can our failures teach us?
Don't be too concerned about making a mistake. It's an opportunity to learn. You'll learn something. You can always learn from your mistakes. Don't worry about the little things, there is nothing wrong with making errors. We all make mistakes.
It's okay to feel embarrassed about a mistake. However, it doesn't really matter if you feel ashamed. It's the way you deal with your mistakes which matters most. They will eat at your soul if you allow them to bother you. But if you view them as opportunities for growth, you'll come out stronger on the other side.
The best way to overcome a mistake is to acknowledge and move past it. It is important to not dwell on the mistake and instead focus on the next steps. Keep moving forward.
You don't need to dwell on your errors. Instead, focus on your strengths and work towards improving yourself. Learn from your mistakes to improve your future.
Successful Inventions made by accident
Inventors make mistakes. But, how we handle those mistakes will determine if our inventions become great successes and failures.
It is a fact that invention does not happen by accident. Every invention was designed. There is no such thing a accidental invention.
An invention is a deliberate act. It is an intentional decision to create something. A solution to a problem. Someone's quality of life will be improved.
However, the key to creating a successful invention is understanding how nothing happens by accident. Instead of trying not to make mistakes, try learning from them.
Invention is not easy. Invention is hard work that requires persistence. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
That means you must spend a lot of time thinking about problems and ideas. What is the most important thing for people? What do they really need?
Ask yourself these questions. These questions will help to determine the type of product and service that you should be developing next.
This requires you to let go of any preconceived notions. All assumptions about the world's wants and needs. You must listen to your customers and potential clients.
You have to learn what they want. Not what they tell you they want.
Once you have identified what they want, the next step is to design a way that you can give it to them. This is where invention comes in.
What are three lessons history can teach us?
History is full of examples of how we can learn from our mistakes. These lessons can be applied to the challenges of business today and turned into opportunities for growth.
Our past has shown us that there's always another way. There's always someone out there that thinks outside the box, and takes risks that make him or her stand out.
History has shown us that often it is the underdogs that succeed. You can look back at those times when the underdog won.
Learn from the past and use the lessons to improve your future. Learn from others' successes and failures.
These lessons will help you increase your success rate.
What can we learn from history to avoid repeating past errors?
Because we make the same mistakes over and over again, history repeats itself. We do not learn from our failures. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle to mediocrity.
History also repeats itself because we keep believing the same old stories. Our world is conditioned to believe there are immutable laws and fixed truths. That we cannot do anything to affect them.
This makes it difficult to think critically. From questioning authority. To challenge assumptions. If we don’t ask questions, we don’t grow. And when we don't grow, we stagnate. We repeat the same mistakes when we stagnate.
History doesn't repeat itself, because we continue to make the same mistakes. We don't learn from our mistakes, and we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over.
It is possible to break the cycle of history repetition. You can change the way you see the world, and your perspective by realizing that nothing is fixed in stone. Nothing is unchangeable. Everything is in constant flux.
To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. Accept that things might go wrong. Accepting the possibility that we might not succeed. Accept that failure may be possible.
Accept that you may not reach your goals. Accept that you may not achieve your goals. However, it is important to keep working towards improving.
It's impossible to move forward if you hold onto the past. You'll never move forward if you cling to the idea that there are fixed truths.
You must let go if you want to be free. You can't control progress unless you let go.
Who originally said those who don't learn from history?
Even though we want to live in an ideal universe where everyone learns through history, it's not possible to learn more from our failures.
There's no better way to learn to do something right than to experience it wrong.
The real error is not making sure you do it correctly the first attempt.
As long you keep making adjustments, you'll eventually see the reason you made them.
You might even realize that you could have done this better the first attempt.
However, that doesn't mean you should not try again. It means you've learned a lot.
It may not always be possible to avoid making errors, but it is possible minimize them. This is the difference between success, and failure.
Recognizing your mistakes is the first step. Next, look at your mistakes objectively and ask yourself "What have I learned?"
If you're honest with yourself, you'll realize that your mistakes are just lessons. They're opportunities to grow.
Thomas Edison experienced exactly that. He failed many times before he finally invented the light bulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. He used every failure as an opportunity to improve the design.
And over time, he invented the most popular form of lighting today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Take advantage of them.
You can then try again.

How To
How did propaganda become marketing success?
In 1879, Max Weber, a German sociologist and German sociologist, first coined the term "propaganda". The Greek word "praopagos", which means "to talk well," was the source of the phrase. The Latin verb "propere", meaning "nearby" and "at hand", and the noun “agogos,” meaning "speech, discourse," are the origins of the term. It is a systematic attempt at shaping attitudes and behaviors.
George Orwell, a British journalist, wrote in his 1928 book, "Propaganda": "To understand propaganda's true nature, we need to realize that it does not have the intent to make people believe anything. It is only the intention of changing their beliefs...It is meant to make them accept one thing over another."
Edward Bernays (1891 - 1995), who served as Sigmund Freud's nephew and psychoanalyst, became famous after he invented the term "public relations" in 1922. He said that "the conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in a democratic society." In 1927, he founded the public relations firm "Bernays & Company," where he worked until 1955.
Bernays invented an "engineering permission" technique, which allowed him to influence public opinion through publicity and advertising campaigns. His methods were adopted later by mass media companies like Newsweek, CBS News, NBC News and Time Magazine. Bernays worked closely with corporations and government agencies after World War II to influence public opinion. Johnson & Johnson were among his clients.
His most notable client was the tobacco industry. He assisted Philip Morris in launching a campaign to stop smoking. In 1939, the Surgeon General recommended that smoking should be banned inside. The Cigarette Advertising Act of 1965 was passed. This law prohibited any cigarette advertising in print media, such as magazines, newspapers, or television.
He also gave advice to President Franklin D Roosevelt about how to manage the growing labor movement during Great Depression. Bernays advised that the president declare "war on Hunger" and use federal government's power in order to ensure adequate food. This strategy made it look like the government was a father figure and helped the president to win re-election in 36.
Bernays began to promote the idea that radio listening could increase radio sales as radio popularity grew. In the 1930s, Bernays introduced the concepts of "branding", and "advertising". He believed that consumers can be influenced by appealing directly to their emotions and making them feel special. He promoted the slogan "Have it all!" He encouraged women to buy war bonds in 1933.
He established a political action group called "Young People for Freedom" back in 1944. The goal of this group was to encourage Americans between 18 and 30 years old to vote Republican. Dwight Eisenhower won 1952 the presidency thanks to Bernays efforts.
In 1953, Bernays persuaded the CIA to stage a coup in Iran, replacing Mohammad Mosaddegh with Shah Reza Pahlevi. He justified this move as necessary to prevent Mosaddegh from nationalizing Iranian oil fields. Bernays wrote articles praiseing the new regime after the coup as "moderate," progressive, and modernized.
Bernays has received numerous other awards throughout his professional career.
