September 13 is Grandparents Day in the US. The day doesn’t get too much attention, like Mother’s or Father’s day, but it does exist and it should be celebrated just the same. Grandparents are such an influential part of development, and for those of us lucky enough to have them in our lives, we should take this day to give thanks and remind them of their importance. On this day grandparents should be celebrated like the elite of the film industry, but before you get to that, here’s a list of celebrities you might not know are grandparents themselves.
