Today? More like in 90s?

Today most actor's Wikipedia pages have links to their parents' Wikipedia pages.

I think it was largely the same even in the '90s, the connections just weren't advertised as prominently. I was desperately in love with Kate Beckinsale after she appeared in Much Ado About Nothing, but I only learned recently that she was the daughter of a beloved British actor named Richard Beckinsale.

Edit: I'm still in love with Kate Beckinsale, but I used to be, too.
