Famous and productive families in Russian and Czech histories

[Mark Nuckols]

A couple of sets of (contemporary) Czech relatives:
 
1) Jan (son, director) and Zdeněk (father, actor, script writer) Svěrák, best known for their collaboration on Kolya.
 
2) Singer and actress Helena Vondráčková (probably the most famous of this family), whose brother Jiří Vondráček is a musician, composer, actor and director. He and his lyricist wife, Hana Sorrosová, have co-written any number of songs, including some for their daughter, singer-actress Lucie Vondráčková. (Lucie, for what it's worth, is married to NHL player Tomáš Plekanec.)
 
Best of luck!

Dear SEELANGERS, I am looking for the names of famous and culturally productive Russian and Czech families, such as Pushkin family, Mikhalkov, Tolstoy, on the Russian side, and Dvorak, Capek, Masaryk, and Benes on the Czech side.  Do you
 have any other names you could suggest?  And if you know of some infamous family, that might be interesting as well. Thank you very much.  Mila Saskova-Pierce
