Are Grace Park & Linda Park Related?

[Scott]

I'm sure that this question has been addressed somewhere in this forum
before, but I'm curious as to whether GRACE PARK {Lt. Sharon "Boomer"
Valeri of "Battlestar Galactica"} and LINDA PARK {formerly Ens. Hoshi
Sato of "Star Trek: Enterprise"} are related in some way?

Obviously, both are Korean actresses of similar age, share a common
surname, and star in Sci-Fi television shows, but is this merely a
coincidence or are they sisters, cousins, etc. aswell? Just curious!

Oh yeah, they share something else too ... they're both absolutely
gorgeous! ;-)

Coincidence (and they both speak French, too).

Park is a pretty common last name, especially for people with Korean
heritage.

Guess they all look the same eh? Seriously, Park is a very common surname
in Korea.

"Park" in Korea is like "Brown" or "Williams" in America as far as popular
surnames.

Johnson is the most common surname in America.

This is the inspiration for giving everyone the last name Johnson in
the western town featured in the movie Blazing Saddles.

According to the Census Bureau, Johnson is the second most common name
in the United States. Smith is the most common.
