Were Katherine and Audrey Hepburn at all related?!?

Answer 1

Copy and pasted from Wikipedia



It is sometimes claimed that Audrey Hepburn and Katharine Hepburn were related. The truth is they were only very distantly related, and certainly had never met before the former's rise to prominence. The closest relationship that has been identified for them is 19th cousins once removed. It has also been claimed that Audrey chose the last name Hepburn in honor of Katharine when she became an actress; however, the record shows that it was part of her family name for some time before she entered show business.

Answer 2

from wikipedia "Audrey Hepburn":
Born Audrey Kathleen Ruston[1] in Ixelles, a municipality in Brussels, Belgium, she was the only child of Joseph Victor Anthony Ruston,[2] an Englishman[2] and his second wife, the former Baroness Ella van Heemstra, a Dutch aristocrat who was a daughter of a former governor of Dutch Guiana.[2] The future actress's father later appended the surname of his maternal grandmother Kathleen Hepburn to the family's, and her surname became Hepburn-Ruston.[2] She had two half-brothers, Jonkheer Arnoud Robert Alexander "Alex" Quarles van Ufford[2] and Jonkheer Ian Edgar Bruce Quarles van Ufford,[2] by her mother's first marriage to a Dutch nobleman, Jonkheer Hendrik Gustaaf Adolf Quarles van Ufford.[2] She was a descendant of King Edward III of England[3] and James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell[2], from whom Katharine Hepburn may have also been descended.[4]
