For Immediate Release:
Family Forest® and the 62nd Annual Golden Globe Awards
Kamuela, HI

– While researching at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Golden
Globes website for ways to illustrate just how intricately and abundantly the
Family Forest® links together Hollywood’s
captivating past and exciting present with people all over the world, I read
the page about the Golden Globes’ Cecil B. DeMille Award.
It brought to mind a personal genealogy quote by Cecil B.
DeMille from The Autobiography of Cecil B. DeMille:
“A hundred and fifty years ago, one
of my great-great-grandfathers was a small merchant in Liverpool,
England. Another was
busily losing his modest fortune in New York.
They could not possibly have known each other. They had neither nationality nor
business ability nor anything else in common. Yet Ralph Samuel’s success in Liverpool
and Peter DeMill’s failure in New York
were linked by their effects. I should know. I am one of the effects.”
“When I
cannot sleep at night, instead of counting sheep, I try to count those links,
to travel back and live with them. After all, they are living with me. If they
had not been what they were, I would not be what I am.”
Cecil B. DeMille, plus the winner of the Golden Globes’ 1998
Cecil B. DeMille Award and father of Miss Golden Globe 2005, Clint Eastwood,
plus all of the other past and present Golden Globes celebrities, each share 1600’s
ancestors with countless millions of living people.
The 62nd Annual Golden Globe Awards presentation being
broadcast by NBC on Sunday will largely be in reality an international event of
cousins around the world watching their Hollywood
cousins on TV being honored for excellence.
As surprising and counterintuitive as this probably sounds,
the vast and extremely interconnected web of family ties and ancestral pathways
already mapped out in the Family Forest® Leadership Edition shows how this is
true.
