Is Helen Slater really Christian Slater's sister?


In real life are they related to each other?

reply

No they ain't, it's just by some fantastic coincidence that they both got put in this movie having the same last names.

reply

I remember reading (somewhere) that Christian had a huge crush on Helen during the filming and even hit on her. But, being 8 years his senior, Helen made it known that the feelings weren't mutual.

No, and he's not even a natural blonde.

Did you figure that out all by yourself?

Eight years isn't that far apart unless he was underage me and my ex were seven years apart when we got together he was eighteen and I was twenty-five

8 years can be far apart depending on the ages of the people involved. If one person is 10 and the other is 18 that's almost twice as old. If one person is 50 and the other is 58 than those 8 years don't seem nearly so far apart.

In Christian & Helen's case he was 15 and she was 23. Not only was he underaged but I don't know many 23 year old women who are sexually attracted to 15 year old boys.

reply

Eight years is a huge difference when he's 15 and she's like 22 or 23. He really was like a kid brother to her. I can understand why he crushed on her though, she was beautiful as Billie Jean!

I'm sure they're both sick of the last name question. It was just a coincidence!

I read that she is a brunette who dyed her hair blond for Supergirl and then kept the hair color blond from that point on.

If you read their biographies, you'll find that while Christian was born with the last name "Slater," Helen changed hers from "Schlacter."

Helen Slater isn't a natural blond either.

I saw Christian on the Actors Studio and he said he thought they would marry as they had the same last name.

reply

Just discovered today that they are NOT. Ugh, all this time I thought that it was so cute that they cast a real brother and sister ... Another '80s idealism shattered to bits by the internet.
