Jayne Kennedy and Kathleen “Mrs. Parker” Bradley are two African American screen legends that made waves back in the day for their beauty as much as their acting skills, but their similarities do not end there. Jayne and Kathleen also have daughters by the same man, actor Bill Overton.

The name “Bill Overton” may not ring a bell for much of the younger generation, but the Boston native made quite a mark in the 70s and 80s, known for his role in movies like “Lord Shango” and “Payment Received.”

While Bill was making strides on the big and small screen, his personal life behind the scenes was quite eventful as well.

The actor was first married to Kathleen, famous for her role in the 1995 film “Friday.” Bill and Kathleen tied the knot in 1980, but their marriage hit the rocks in 1984 when both parties went their separate ways. Despite the short-lived fate, their union produced a beautiful daughter, Cheyenne Overton, born in August 1982.

Four years after her divorce from Bill, Kathleen moved on to her second marriage with mechanical engineer Terrence Redd and the second time proved to be a charm.

The couple has now been together for three decades and, judging by a picture Kathleen shared to Instagram in June 2018, are still very much in love.

Jayne and Kathleen, who both have roots in Ohio, are also close. They came together in 2018 to help a friend campaign for a political office and Kathleen shared a photo of the trio with the caption: “We Ohio folks must stick together.”

Bill is one lucky man, indeed!
