Anyone Have A Famous Relative?

[okfine]

I will start off with one of mine:

The Real McCoy

Charles "Kid" McCoy (October 13, 1872 – April 18, 1940), born Norman Selby, was an American world champion boxer and early Hollywood actor.

Ranker.com has him ranked as #121st of all time. Last year he was ranked #85 as the list changes. He was married to my Mom's aunt, even though he was married 10 times.
