5. Dylan McDermott

When the Hostages actor was only 5 years old, his mother, Diane, was shot dead in her home at age 20. Although Diane’s death was first ruled an accident, police later filed murder charges against her boyfriend, John Sponza. Sponza told authorities that Diane accidentally shot herself after picking up a gun he had been cleaning. Sponza, who police say had ties to organized crime, was killed in 1972. His body was found in the trunk of a car in Massachusetts.
