There is an actor from the silent era named Ramon Novarro. Any relation?
Good observation, but he is not a blood relative. Novarro (real name Jos Ramon Gil Samiegos) was a good friend of Gabriel Navarro, David’s grandfather. He liked the name “Navarro” so much that in homage to his friend he borrowed the name of “Navarro” for his stage name, but according to Hollywood legend, a secretary made a typo, leaving him with “Novarro”.
