The Blondell sisters' father was a Polish-born Jew, Levi Blustine/Bluestein, who emigrated to the United States and took the name Edward Blondell (some sources cite Edward Joan Blondell). He wed a Christian, Kathryn Cain, and had three children: Eddie, Joan, and Gloria. The family did not enjoy great longevity, lifespan-wise, but accomplished much.
