Relatively famous

Many famous people become politicians, usually using their fame to get into politics, but how many politicians are there who use famous relatives to become politicians?
Two recent ones who spring to mind are David and Ed Miliband.
Would there careers have taken off so well had it not been for musician relatives Glenn miliband, and Steve Miliband?
