Corrected entry: Matthew Broderick is believed to be related to Robert Shaw, the character he played in the film.
Correction: Matthew Broderick is not at all related to "Robert Gould Shaw," the character he portrayed in the film, Glory (1989). In 2010, Broderick appeared on an episode of NBC's "Who Do You Think You Are?" and his lineage was traced. Broderick's paternal great-great-grandfather, Robert Martindale, fought in the Union Army at the Battle of Gettysburg. As an aside, Robert Gould Shaw's sister, Susanna Sarah Shaw, married Robert Bowne Minturn; then their daughter, Sarah Mary Minturn, married Henry Dwight Sedgwick. One of Susanna Sarah Shaw's descendants is her great-great-granddaughter, Kyra Sedgwick.
