The American singer Britney Spears and the actress and singer Marilyn Monroe have many things in common and could even be related.
Marilyn Monroe during the 1950s and early 1960s established her career as an actress and was even classified as one of the most beautiful women of the time. In the '90s, something similar happened with Britney Spears, who thanks to her music and the success she achieved rose to fame and became the "Princess of Pop."
Both had many problems throughout their careers. It is believed that Marilyn Monroe suffered from depression and at the time of her death it was learned that she wore a wig and that she did not have a perfect appearance.
Britney Spears, for her part, was under the guardianship of her father for 13 years after suffering a psychiatric outbreak. Her father controlled all aspects of the singer's life, as well as her financial affairs, but in November 2021 Britney was able to regain her freedom at the end of said guardianship.
Although both never met and one died long before the other was born, there is something that unites them and that very few know: the famous have a family relationship.
Marilyn Monroe, who died in August 1962, and Britney Spears are family. Both are related to Richard Scott, an immigrant man of English origin who came to the United States in the 17th century and who rebuilt his life, married, and had children. Britney Spears and Marilyn Monroe are ninth cousins in this relationship.
