Dennis Quaid, along with his brother Randy, was born in Houston, Texas. In 2007, Dennis fathered boy-girl twins in 2007 with his third wife, Kim Buffington. The twins were hospitalized for a staph infection and given the medicine heparin; they were supposed to receive 10 units of the medicine but instead hospital staff gave them 10,000 units. The family sued the manufacturer and became patient safety advocates. Heparin is now packaged differently, with much clearer indications of the dosage inside.

"Great Balls of Fire!" was a biographical film about the rock ability legend, Jerry Lee Lewis, from his early days to his infamous marriage to his 13-year-old cousin.

Dennis Quaid became famous in the 1980s but his career languished in the 1990s a bit, according to Dennis, because of his eating disorder and drug problems. He came back later with roles in the remake of "The Parent Trap" (1998) and "Yours, Mine, and Ours" (2005).

Answer: Jeff Bridges

"Starman" is about a human-looking alien who responds to a long-ago general space signal sent from earth; he appears to a woman who has been unable to have kids, and, after they have a relationship, she becomes pregnant.

Jeff Bridges made his television debut at age nine on the television show "Seahunt," which starred his father, Lloyd Bridges and ran in syndication 1958-1960.

Answer: Randy Quaid

In "The Last Picture Show", Randy Quaid played Lester, one of Lacy's suitors. Jeff Bridges played Duane Jackson, one of the main high school boys of this film set in a small Texas town in 1951. The movie is about the lives of these high schoolers as they pursue love and sex.

After finishing his work on "Brokeback Mountain" and the lawsuit that ensued, Randy is perhaps known more for his legal troubles than his acting in recent years. In addition to the problems with the Santa Barbara property -- where they lived in a guest house on a property they had reportedly sold to someone else -- they were charged with burglary when police indicated they hadn't paid a hefty hotel bill. Soon after that, the couple fled to Canada, where they sought refugee status, but were returned to the U.S. to face fugitive charges.

Beau and Jeff Bridges, who have always said in the press that they are quite close, must have enjoyed making "The Fabulous Baker Boys" together, though co-star Michelle Pfieffer won more awards than the Bridges brothers did put together.

Beau's son, Jordan Bridges, continues the family tradition in acting; he has had a variety of film and TV roles, including a recurring role on TNT's "Rizzoli & Isles" (2010-2016).

He and actress Meg Ryan fell in love while filming "D.O.A." in 1988; they married in 1991 and had a son, Jack, together the next year. They divorced in 2001. Dennis has been kind to his unpredictable brother in the press, indicating simply that he loves him. Randy, on the other hand, has made barbed remarks about Dennis.
