In the era of the "nepo baby," one Hollywood star that doesn't make it as apparent is Chris Pine. The on-screen heartthrob, 45, may have come into his own with performances in films like The Princess Diaries 2 and Just My Luck before getting his big break in the Star Trek reboot series, but his legacy extends quite far back. His father is Robert Pine, now 84, an actor as well who was best known for playing Sgt. Joseph Getraer on the TV show CHiPs, along with a variety of other TV roles. And his mother Gloria Gwynne Gilford, now 79, appeared in a variety of bit parts throughout the '70s and '80s on TV and film before becoming a psychotherapist. But, as it turns out, Chris' legacy goes back even further, to his legendary maternal grandmother. Anne Gwynne was not just a bonafide film star in the 1940s, she's one of the defining names in the horror genre, and as a pin-up girl. Even with the industry's constant evolution, her influence lives on.
