“Makes me feel stronger…”. The way she effortlessly gives weight to a succession of words. She has such a gift for reaching her viewers and leaving them with smiles on their faces. Love you, Glenn.

Oh my good lord. Glen Close actually looks similar to Clint Eastwood when they smile.
Interesting. I always thought she was the most British American I've ever seen. Her way of being seem like her parents just stepped off an upperclass boatride across the water.

Genetics are truly insane. Not to say they could not look alike just by coincidence, BUT i have noticed on this show that some people will bear a certain resemblance to ancestors from literally 200 years ago!!! Tina Fey said when looking at her 5 or 6x time great grandfahter, "wow, that looks just like my dad!" etc.

@@SamDiMento I remember that episode. And yes, it's so strange how you can see the features of even distant ancestors in their descendents, sometimes people they are barely related to.
Glenn looks great and it's so nice to see an older woman who hasn't messed her face up with surgery and Botox and fillers.Great actress.

OMG you put the two of them facing each other and it is so very obvious that they are related, the princess and the queen of the screen. it's true, "breeding will out."
Goodness I cannot imagine having so many children. But I'm glad she received such an interesting history. So many things she can now explore.

Is Strong on Lady Di’s Father or Mother side?
I am also in this family tree according to Family Tree genealogy. Joseph Strong was my cousin along with Princess Diana on my mother's side and Queen Elizabeth on my father's side. and many presidents and so many other notable people. Elvis is my 7th cousin, George Harrison and John Lennon one on each side of my family, also Marilyn Monroe and my family came over on the Mayflower and also have very deep roots in England. There are 30 million people alive today and 20 million of them are in the United States who are descendants from the Mayflower. We all have famous relatives. Genealogy is so interesting 😊

Yes Glen and Diana do look alike
I can see a resemblance with Glenn & Diana. Look back at the photo of when they met in England while Glenn was promoting a movie & she is in a reception line meeting the Princess. Their facial structure is remarkably similar. Their smiles. The hair cut too! Wow! Who would have thought years later Glenn would find out about actually being related! I think it’s cool.

I nominate Taylor Lautner for FInding Your Roots. Aint NO WAY his oral family history is accurate
Similar noses
I know I’m related to FDR on his mother’s side, I may be related to Glenn, also.
“Religious severity”. A slap with a silk glove.
So basically this episode is about looking for... Close relatives.
Diana Spencer had many Americans in her family tree.
Love you, Glenn Close. You are a force of nature and an incredible actor. Very classy person.
Despite their common ancestor being many generations back, I see the family resemblance in their profiles between her and Princess Diana.

Will there be new episodes of Finding your Roots??????
They look quite alike 💜💜
Sometimes I just l9ve your show
Wish I had more time and resources to continue my tree... I have so many roadblocks that I can't break through without further research of documents that aren't yet scanned in electronically on Ancestry or FamilySearch... and the younger generations don't always have time to do long exhaustive research when they are working or raising families during the times that libraries and historical assoc.'s are open..
The Puritans gave us all our troubles too. Their prejudices are still present in our biggest struggles today.
Princess Diana was a distant relative to George Washington.

I had a neighbor named John Strong. 😊

Princess Diana & I share the same 13th Great Grandfather. My 9th Great Grandfather married a woman called Jane Spencer ❤
I would like to take this test but I feel that being Colombian the most obvious thing is that I will have Spanish ancestors and I assume that not many Colombians have taken the test so my family history may be limited

John Strong was my Great Grandfather times 9. Hey Cousin Glenn how you doing?
Glenn Close and Lady Diana have similar profiles. I can see where they have similar genes.
Her roots go to the very beginning ? You mean her ancestors came by the land connection, the Bering straight from Siberia to North America during the last ice age or whatever the theory is, thousands of years ago ?
