Wife in one movie, sister in another

[skimpole]

I watched I Never Sang for my Father tonight and noticed that Estelle Parsons plays Gene Hackman's character's sister.  In Bonnie and Clyde they were wife and husband.  I wonder how often that happens.  John Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands played siblings in Love Streams , but they never played spouses together.

Yea,  I found that rather odd casting especially since the time period between the two movies wasn't very long.    Of course maybe in B&C the wife was his second cousin!    That wouldn't have surprised me based on the characters.

Of course, Faye Dunaway got them beat in CHINATOWN, where she was both mother and sister to her daughter/sister.
