Epstein and Oswald

When an uncommon name invites questions

Twelve years ago, I looked up Woody Harrelson on Wikipedia. I forgot the reason why, although I was a longtime fan of his work. At the time, I was already aware that his father Charles was a convicted hit-man who at one point confessed to the John F. Kennedy’s assassination but then recanted.

It was there that I read that his mother, Diane Lou Harrelson, had the maiden name of Oswald. Well, isn’t that unusual, as Lee Harvey Oswald is officially acknowledged as JFK’s killer. Any relation?
