Ricky Nelson sure had a great tallent, which he passed through to his kids, great singing voices, and his acting tallents went right to Tracy.
back in high school, I had one of his cousins as a history teacher, there was many of times that the class had to watch Ozzie and Harriett in history class.
I do think that Ricky Nelson was a good looking man, it's too damn bad that he got into the drugs to start with, and the thing that really sucks, is that as he got himself all cleaned up and sober, he had to have a pilot that was all doped on that tragic day when his plane crashed.
when it comes to passing the looks down the family line, I think that Sam (the darker haired one) and Tracy definately inherited the good looks, the twins, are ok, Ricky was a very good looking man, there are some men that start to lose their good looks as they age, not the case in the Nelson family, even my old history teacher had a good dosage of the Nelson good looks.
