Story summary

Sydney Sweeney, an actress known for her role in "Euphoria," has been revealed to be related to Marilyn Monroe through genealogical research conducted by MyHeritage. The study shows that the two actresses are ninth cousins, once removed. This connection stems from their fathers, Steven Sweeney and Charles Stanley Gifford, who both descend from an early settler in Sandwich, Massachusetts, named Ezra Perry, who lived during the 1600s.

Sweeney has previously shown admiration for Monroe by wearing vintage dresses similar to those worn by the late icon. For instance, she wore a Ceil Chapman dress at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival that was also famously worn by Monroe on the April 7, 1952 cover of Life magazine. Additionally, Sweeney sported another custom Galia Lahav dress inspired by Monroe for the premiere of "The Housemaid" in December 2025.
