    My great great great uncle William Werner was almost famous. He actually designed the first phonograph, not Edison. He was his assistant and he sold the plans to him, because he didn't have the $$ to build it himself. My mom's bro(current uncle) has the original plans.. Other than that..nope.... I was in the movie "Tank" back in the 80's in the crowd scene, yelling.."Go, Go, Go", "Pull, Pull, Pull" and then "Yay"...it was a paid part 30 bucks a day! lol

    My uncle is a somewhat successful completely unknown hollywood film writer. I saw a famous guy on TV once. Does that count?

    Yep. I have books that were autographed by him and stuff. (pretty sure it was my great grandfather anyway. My grandmother is here on vacation so I can ask her tomorrow how many generations this was ago).
