Think the only thing these films have in common is that they're based on the work of William Shakespeare? Think again. Here are some film connections the three films share in six steps or less.

1. The Diane Venora Connection
    Diane Venora plays Lady "Gloria" Capulet in Romeo + Juliet.
    In Hamlet (2000) she plays Gertrude.
    In a 1990 TV version, she played Ophelia.
    In the 2000 version, Ophelia is played by Julia Stiles.
    Julia Stiles plays Kat in 10 Things I Hate About You.

2. Location, Location, Location
     Romeo + Juliet takes place in Verona Beach.
     Verona is similar to Venora as in Diane who appears in both
     Romeo + Juliet and Hamlet.
     Julia Stiles co-stars with Diane Venora in Hamlet.
     As Kat in 10 Things I Hate About You, Stiles falls for
     Patrick Verona.
     Patrick is based on Petruchio who is from Verona, Italy
     in The Taming of the Shrew.
