Naomi is one of 11 contestants on the Season 3 of Claim to Fame, ABC’s reality TV series where contestants with celebrity relatives must correctly guess each other’s claim to fames, while keeping their own a secret. The series is hosted by brothers Kevin Jonas and Frankie Jonas and has featured the relatives of stars like Alicia Keys, Keke Palmer, Jason Aldean, and Tiffany Haddish.
Who’s Naomi related to on Claim to Fame Season 3?
Naomi’s relative is actress Molly Ringwald. Naomi, whose full name is Naomi Burns, is Ringwald’s first cousin once removed. Naomi’s two truths and a lie also confirm that Ringwald is her celebrity relative.
Her two truths and a lie were that her celebrity relative is her cousin, a singer, and has won the Young Artist Award. Naomi’s parent is Ringwald’s cousin, making Ringwald her first cousin once removed. Ringwald also won the Young Artist Award for Best Performance by a Leading Young Actress in a Feature Film in 1983 for her role in the movie Sixteen Candles. This means that Naomi’s lie was that her celebrity relative is a singer.
Clues on the clue wall that support Ringwald as Naomi’s celebrity relative include a plate of bacon and eggs, a reference to Ringwald’s 1985 movie, The Breakfast Club, in which she played the character Claire Standish, who was nicknamed the “princess.” In Season 3, Episode 1, Gracie Lou pulled Naomi’s clue, which spelled out “Brat Pack Princess in Club Breakfast,” clear reference to Ringwald’s role in the “Brat Pack” and The Breakfast Club.
The obituary for Naomi and Ringwald’s shared relative, Jacqueline Burns (who died in 2002), also confirm Naomi and Ringwald are relatives. The obituary refers to Naomi as Jacqueline’s granddaughter and Ringwald as her niece, which would Naomi and Ringwald first cousins once removed.
Ringwald is also one of a few celebrity relatives on Claim to Fame to work with another relative from the same season. She starred as Andie Walsh in the 1986 movie Pretty in Pink, which also starred Gracie Lou’s uncle, Jon Cryer, who played Philip F. “Duckie” Dale.
Who’s Molly Ringwald, Naomi’s relative?
Ringwald is an actress who became known as a teen idol in the 1980s after her appearance in director John Hughes’ classic teen movies Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Pretty in Pink. The roles also led to the media referring to Ringwald as a member of the “Brat Pack, a group of young actors—including Rob Lowe, Judd Nelson, and Demi Moore—who often appeared together in coming-of-age movies in the 1980s.
After her teen idol career, Ringwald went on to star as an adult in projects like The Kissing Booth, Riverdale, Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, and Feud: Capote vs. The Swans. She was married to her first husband, Valery Lameignere, from 1999 to 2002. She married her second husband, author Panio Gianopoulos, in 2007. They share three children together: a daughter named Mathilda born in 2003 and fraternal boy-girl twins born in 2009.
