Paraphrased: name a film in which a father directs his daughter – that is, dad’s the director, daughter’s an actress in the film. After time ran out I thought of guessing Bryce Dallas Howard and Ron Howard, but even then I was not answering the actual question… …so without looking it up, can you think of an answer? …WITH looking it, can you think of an answer? 🙂 ---

**Prizzi’s Honor** : John Huston directed his daughter Anjelica. They were both nominated for Oscars for the film (John as Best Director, Anjelica as Best Supporting Actress). She won, he didn’t. [He had, however, previously won Best Director for **Treasure of the Sierra Madre** , in which he directed his father, Walter, to a Best Supporting Actor Oscar!] ---

[QUOTE=Bill Door] “Name the only family with three generations of Oscar winners”. [/QUOTE] You must have been asked that trivia question before 2004, **Bill Door** , because that’s the year that Sofia Coppola won for [Best Original Screenplay](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001068/awards) ( **Lost in Translation** ), joining her grandfather Carmine Coppola ([Best Original Score](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0178874/awards), **Godfather II** ) and her father Francis Ford Coppola [(5 Oscar wins in all)](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000338/awards). ---

[/QUOTE] Yeah, that came to me rather quickly. I didn’t know she was in I & II, so I was thinking, “Did FF even direct 3?” ---

[QUOTE=Earl Snake-Hips Tucker] William Wyler’s daughters are uncredited extras in “The Best Years of Our Lives.” [/QUOTE] That reminds me: Billy and Katie Jackson, the son and daughter of Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh have small cameo roles in all three LotR movies (hobbit children, Rohan children and Gondor children, I think). They are also in King Kong as New York children. Not sure if cameo roles count, though, there are a lot of them. ---
