How many celebs have look-alike kids (or, look-alike parents)?
Here is Bette Midler (right) and her daughter Sophie (left).
Before seeing Stand By Me, I had no idea who Kiefer Sutherland was. But as soon as I saw his character in the movie, I thought “He looks just like a young Donald Sutherland.”
Similarly, before I saw The Frighteners, I never knew Gary Busey had a son. But as soon as Jake Busey’s charater first appeared in that movie, I knew he had to be Gary’s son.
And Isabella Rosselini sure looks like Ingrid Bergman.
George Harrison’s son Dhani.
The one that I always thought was uncanny is Robert Walker (Strangers on a Train) and Robert Walker Jr (Star Trek TOS, Charlie X). Looking them up on the internet sometimes I can’t tell which one I’m looking at.
John Lithgow and his son, Ian Lithgow.
The son is actually a doctor, but does some acting on the side. I saw him in a play last year and was surprised at how much he looks like his dad, only with a full head of dark hair. They sound extremely alike too.
And for that matter Julian and John.
Before I knew they were mother and daughter, I could tell that Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson looked very similar.
I saw this guy on some TV episode a while back and thought, that guy has got to be related to Rene Auberjonois.
It’s his son Remy.
That’s easy when you’re a shape-shifter.
Just thought of another one.
Illinois’ current Lieutenant Governor is Sheila Simon, daughter of the late Senator Paul Simon. It’s kind of scary, actually.
They’re even wearing the same earrings.
I don’t have a link, but I knew that Mamie Gummer was Meryl Streep’s daughter right away when I first saw her in a movie.
I think Harlan Ellison who once said that Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen don’t resemble each all all that much but they both resemble their father Martin Sheen.

I came in to say this–I saw *Death Becomes Her *(yes, I’m the one who saw that!) and when Isabella entered done up in period hair and makeup, there was a *gasp *in the theater.
Madonna and Lourdes deserve a mention. Well, original recipe Madonna.
Child Resembles Parent Shock!
More at 11.
Trying to look at pics - work keeps blocking the closeups - but I don’t think he looks exceptionally like his dad.
I’m trying to figure out where the line is between “Yeah, sure, kid resembles parent” and “that’s an eerie similarity”.
James Caan and Scott Caan
At least she got her mom’s figure. (Should be SFW considering how much material went into '50s-style underwear.)
