11. Rip Torn and Sissy Spacek
Rip Torn actually helped his cousin Sissy Spacek get into the business and helped her to enroll in Strasberg’s Actors Studio.
Rip Torn was actually born Elmore Rudolph Torn, Jr. (his middle name was later changed), the son of Thelma Mary and Elmore Rual Torn, an agriculturalist and economist.
Unfortunately, this celebrated actor and star of many blockbusters like Men in Black and Marie Antoinette spent most of his recent years in court and battling alcoholism.
His alcohol abuse led to numerous charges and convictions: reckless endangerment, criminal trespass, criminal mischief and the illegal carrying of a firearm, just to name a few.
Sissy Spacek is an actress and singer, best known for her role in the movie Carrie, based on a novel by Stephen King.
After she graduated from high school, she moved to New York City, hoping to become a singer.
There, she lived with her first cousin, actor Rip Torn and his wife, actress Geraldine Page.
The two of them helped her immensely in the beginning of her career.
