It is not that they were both US Presidents, one a Democrat, the other a Republican, one the 42nd president, one the 41st president, one from Arkansas, one from Texas.
Robert Redford & Robert DeNiro
It is not that they are both Hollywood stars, nor that they both won Oscars in the early 80’s, one for best direction for Ordinary People, the other for best acting for Raging Bull.
John F. Kennedy Jr. & Caroline Kennedy
It’s not that they were both children of John F. Kennedy, nor that they were both lawyers by education and were both involved in publishing, John Jr. as the publisher of the magazine George until his untimely death, and Caroline as a well-known editor and author.
Lewis Carroll & H.G. Wells
It’s not that they were both writers in the fantasy and science fiction genre, nor that both were English authors, nor that they both have books that were made into movies - Alice in Wonderland in the case of Carroll and War of the Worlds in the case of Wells.
Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr
It is not that they were both part of the British pop sensation band The Beatles, nor that they were both from Liverpool, nor that they are the only two surviving members of the band, George Harrison dying of cancer in 2001 and John Lennon being killed by a stalker in 1980.
