Have you ever been in a crowded room or walked along a busy sidewalk and overheard someone say the name "BURNETT"? Didn't your head almost swivel off your neck trying to find the person who said it? That is how I have reacted most of my life when I see BURNETT in the newspaper, on the movie screen, or on television. I always wonder if those famous Burnetts are related to me. On the linked pages you will find information I have collected over the years of Famous Unrelated (as far as we know) Burnetts. Click on each name to read a short history and view photos where available. Oh, and by the way, if you are famous, get in touch with me and I will add you to my collection.
