Hollywood Nepotism -- Let's Make a List

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

It is striking to me how many Hollywood stars are the sons/daughters/brothers/nephews, etc. of other Hollywood figures.

Now maybe the second relative on the scene made it on sheer talent and will to succeed. :rolleyes: Or maybe -just maybe- the second family member made it because of their relative’s Hollywood connections.

So…Let’s make a list of the myriad examples of nepotism in Tinsel Town. List them in the order in which the family members “arrived” on the Hollywood scene. ONE EXAMPLE OF NEPOTISM PER POST, PLEASE.

I’ll start:

Donald Sutherland => Keiffer Sutherland

2

The Barrymores. 'Nuff said.

3

Kirk Douglas --> Michael Douglas

6

Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. and Jr.
Lon Chaney, Sr. and Jr.
Blythe Danner and Gwyneth Paltrow
Jon Voight and brother-lovin’ Angelina Jolie

How about siblings? Gish, Talmadge, Moore (Tom, Owen and Matt), De Havilland/Fontaine . . . I could go on for hours . . .
