Lana Wachowski Is Related To Lucille Ball!

Through marriage!

The Wachowski siblings--Andy and Lana (the fab transsexual)--turn out to have an interesting matrix of their own.

Their mother happens to be the sister of actor Laurence Luckinbill, who appeared in the classic Boys in the Band and many other projects.

And Luckinbill happens to be married to Lucille Ball's daughter Lucie Arnaz.

Which means Lucy was Lana's great aunt! Or something!

You can sort of see it in the hair.


Thanks to Ashley D. Marco for the tip.

Well, I thought the theory was that we're all sorta/kinda related to each other (and Will Smith) according to the six degrees.  So Lucy is my great-great auntie (dare I type it?) on my father's step-uncle side, twice removed.  Or something like that.

 @blissbaby I think she really liked Laurence. Not so much Patty Duke, when Desi Jr was going with her...

 @exackerly  @blissbaby I think they meant about being related to a transsexual.
