Helena Bonham-Carter is the great-granddaughter of former British
Prime Minister Herbert Asquith (Earl of Oxford and Asquith), and his
daughter, Violet Bonham-Carter was made a Life Peer (Baroness Asquith
of Yarnbury) -- she is Helena's grandmother. Does that qualify as
aristocratic?

Any relationship to early sound era British director Anthony Asquith?

What do you mean by "movie people"? Just actors? Or directors too?

Chatrichalerm Yukol, the director of Legend of Suriyothai, is himself a
prince of Thailand.

Audrey Hepburn's mother was a Dutch baroness.

I believe Humphrey Bogart was a distant relative of Diana, Prince of
Wales.

Lex Barker was a direct descendant of the founder of Rhode Island,
Roger Williams, and of Sir 'William Henry Crichlow', historical
governor-general of Barbados.
