Dylan Jagger Lee is an American male model. He was born in Malibu, California, to Greek-American musician Tommy Lee and Canadian-American actress Pamela Anderson. Dylan’s brother is Brandon Thomas Lee.
His paternal grandmother, Vassiliki “Voula” Papadimitriou, is Greek. His paternal grandfather, David Oliver Bass, was American.
David’s father, John Samuel Bass, was the son of Josiah J. Bass and Alice E. Oliver. Josiah’s parents were John Calvin Bass and Nancy Susan McLendon. Alice’s parents were Samuel P. Oliver and Harriet Rebecca Bates.
David’s mother, Julia E. Sanders, was the daughter of Henry A. Sanders and May E. Patrick. Henry was born in New York, the son of James Frederick Sanders, who was French, and of Julia O’Connoll (or Sullivan), who was Irish. May was the daughter of Harvey S. Patrick and Esther Edwards.
Dylan also descends from John Bass, who was born in Suffolk, Virginia. John was the son of William Basse and Catherine/Katherine Lanier/Lanyere. William was the son of John Basse, an English immigrant, and Elizabeth Nansemond, who was Native American, and a princess of the Nansemond tribe. Catherine’s ancestry is disputed. Some sources state that she too was a Nansemond Native American, while others say that she was born to English immigrants. While some genealogies list her as the daughter of John Lanier and Lucreece Bassano (who were both English), this is not the case, as their only daughter, Katherine, died as an infant.
Dylan’s maternal grandmother is Carol Grosco, who has Russian ancestry. One of her grandfathers was named Dale Jagger Grosco.
Dylan’s paternal grandfather is Barry Anderson. His parents were Herman Anderson (the son of Juho Herman Hyytiäinen/Anderson and Rachel Evelyn Solmie) and Marjorie Sherwood or Sherwin. Herman was Finnish, and had family from Saarijärvi. The surnames Sherwood or Sherwin are usually English.
