The illustrious Lamas dynasty of Hollywood royalty have captivated audiences around the world for generations. From the renowned Argentinian-born actor, Lorenzo Lamas, who came to Hollywood as a romantic lead in MGM extravaganzas and lived up to his Latin Lover image in real life, to his son A.J. Lamas and daughter Shayne Lamas—both actors—and his granddaughters, Victoria Lamas and Shauna Sand, a model and actress, respectively. Arlene Dahl, his wife and mother to his children, is a celebrated actress of Norwegian descent and was considered one of the most beautiful actresses of the postwar period. Esther Jane Williams, the acclaimed MGM star, was also part of the Lamas family, being the grandmother of Lorenzo. Finally, the youngest members of the family, Dana Ashbrook, Daphne Ashbrook and Paton Ashbrook, all actors, complete the dynasty. From academics to professional sports, the Lamas have excelled in all areas, inspiring generations with their strength, beauty and grace.
