Barbara Kerwin

From humble beginnings, the Benedict-Kerwin-Landy dynasty have established an illustrious legacy in the entertainment industry. William Kerwin is best known for his work in horror films, though his prolific stage, film and TV career extends far beyond. His wife, Connie Mason, is a former actress, whom he met on the set of Blood Feast (1963). The two brothers co-founded the San Diego Actor's Theatre in the 1950s and worked together in several films. Richard Benedict, born Joseph Sciurba in Sicily, was a prizefighter before coming to Hollywood. His stocky, menacing visage earned him tough-guy roles and his most famous role was in Billy Wilder's Ace in the Hole (1951). His brother, Samuel Benedict, is a producer and writer, and their sister, Hanna Landy, was an actress most famous for Rosemary's Baby (1968). Barbara Kerwin, William's daughter, is a costume designer and actress and has been married to Tom Everett since 1981, with whom she has three children. The dynasty's legacy is a testament to their hard work and ambition, and the family's steadfast commitment to the arts.
