Okay, so we know that Meryl Streep has at least two daughters, Mamie Gummer and Grace Gummer.

They are easy to identify because the Meryl genes are strong in them.

She's kind of been hiding from us in plain sight, but you might know her now without realizing she's Meryl's offspring.

Because perhaps you've been watching The Gilded Age on HBO? Then you have met Meryl's third daughter!!

She plays Marian Brook, THE STAR OF THE SHOW. Her real name is Louisa Jacobson, aka Meryl Streep's elusive third daughter.

This wholeeeee time she has gone under the radar because she doesn't resemble the rest of them as much as they all resemble each other.

And she dropped the Gummer name, completely separating herself from her family.

Not in a dramatic way, she is indeed a member of this family.

I consider myself knowledgeable about a lot of completely unimportant celeb-related stuff, but I had no idea about this until someone told me. So now, I'm passing along this info to you, so you can tell your mom because only she would care.

Oh, and also, Meryl Streep's daughter isn't the only celeb relative on the show.

Gladys Russell is played by Taissa Farmiga.

Her sister is Vera Farmiga.

AND the show features Miranda Hobbes, who you might know as Che Diaz's girlfriend. After following Che to LA, Miranda realized that was stupid, dumped Che, and got her first acting gig on this period show. Love that for her.
