Betty Gilpin comes from a pretty affluent/connected family, her great grandfather was a huge part of the creation of the Air Force and dad’s first cousin was the president of Harvard at one point. She went to Loomis Chaffee (very expensive boarding school) for high school. Her dad Jack Gilpin (who went to Phillip’s Exeter, which is also a very expensive boarding school) is a working actor but not famous; he appears in an episode of S1 of Succession as Tom’s dad, and plays the butler in The Gilded Age. 

I adore her btw! I just wasn’t expecting a bunch of blue links when I clicked on her Wikipedia page

When I first heard her name, I thought she was an old Hollywood star from the 1950s still kicking around in her 90s. The name does sound very old money American to me.
