Stephen Blackehart is an American actor, author, and producer.
While various untrustworthy sources state that he is the son of actor Marlon Brando, this is not the case.
Stephen’s maternal grandfather was James Richard Lacroix (the son of Richard Harvey “Buster” Lacroix and Ruth Gladys Rippey). James was born in Alabama. Richard was born in Tennessee, the son of William Jacob Lacroix, whose paternal grandfather was from Germany, and had French ancestry; and of Laura Vernon McDonald. Ruth was born in Tennessee, the daughter of James Polk Rippey and Florence Elizabeth Bloom.
Stephen’s maternal grandmother was Elizabeth Jane “Betty” Mullikin (the daughter of Robert Andrew Mullikin and Olive E. Anderson). Elizabeth was born in Missouri. Robert was born in Kansas, the son of John Franklin Mullikin and Jane/Jennie Williamson, who was Scottish. Olive was born in Kansas, the daughter of Carl F. Anderson, who was Swedish, and of Elizabeth Haagstrand, whose parents were also Swedish.

Ugh.
He has denied any relation to Marlon Brando

“I am no relation to him that I know of. It seems to be a case of some anonymous internet graffiti that found its way into print when Brando passed away, and now is reported as fact on Wikipedia and other places around the web. I’ve given up trying to have it taken down, but it’s nonetheless untrue”
Thank you for finding that. I’ll now have to re-examine my critical thinking.
