My grandmother claims that my family is related to Bela Lugosi through marraige, but I'm not sure I believe her anymore (she's dead now anyway). She said that his mother or father (forget which) married into the Lugosi family. What bothers me is that Bela Lugosi didn't change his name because of that, it was because he was born in Lugos. So I'm not sure how much of the story is true. She claimed that the family was angry he took the name because it was embarrassing for them since acting wasn't a reputable profession at that time. She was Hungarian, so that makes it more believable but I'm still skeptical.
