Paul Burke and Granddaughter Alia Shawkat
It’s not uncommon for actors to have fellow stars in their family tree, though we often remain unaware of these connections. Many of today’s emerging superstars carry fascinating family legacies in the entertainment world. For them, showbiz is more than a career – it’s a family tradition, as natural as any inherited talent or profession.
These rising stars typically keep their family ties low-key, preferring not to draw attention to their famous roots. They want to be seen for their own talent and hard work, not just as beneficiaries of their renowned grandparents like Clark Gable or beloved Nanas like Debbie Reynolds. So, let’s meet some of these Hollywood A-listers who have the magic of acting running in their veins.
Elia Kazan and Granddaughter Zoe Kazan
Paul Burke may not have attained Hollywood superstar status, but his career surpassed the dreams of most actors. He achieved recognition primarily for his leading roles in two popular 1960s television series: “Naked City” and “Twelve O’Clock High.” Remarkably, Paul Burke is the grandfather of the talented actress Alia Shawkat, whose mother is Dina, Paul’s daughter.
Alia Shawkat has graced numerous television shows with her presence, including the acclaimed series “Arrested Development,” “Search Party,” and “Drunk History.” Beyond her television accomplishments, Alia has also made a mark in the film industry with notable roles in movies such as “The Runaways,” “Duck Butter,” and “First Cow.”
Errol Flynn and Grandson Sean Flynn
Elia Kazan left an indelible mark on Hollywood during his illustrious career. His exceptional talents as a filmmaker and director shone through in acclaimed works such as “A Streetcar Named Desire” and “On the Waterfront.” He even had the privilege of collaborating with the iconic James Dean in “East of Eden.”
The saying “like father, like daughter” applies to Zoe Kazan, who started her acting career in 2003. Since then, Zoe has appeared in well-known movies such as “What If” and “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs,” and has also tried her hand at Broadway shows. Like her grandfather, Zoe Kazan also enjoys being involved in both acting and directing.
Audrey Hepburn and Granddaughter Emma Ferrer
During his heyday, Errol Flynn was very famous in Hollywood. Even though he died young at 50, Flynn made a lasting impact on the industry. People still remember his many movies with Olivia de Havilland, but it was his role in “The Adventures of Robin Hood” that made him really famous. Errol is often honored as one of the early movie stars.
Errol’s legacy lives on through his daughter Rory, who briefly pursued acting before passing on her love for the industry to her son, Sean, born in 1989. Sean started his acting career at the young age of seven and later found success with his role in the popular Nickelodeon show “Zoey 101.”
Debbie Reynolds and Granddaughter Billie Lourd
Audrey Hepburn, a famous actress with a remarkable career and timeless style, still remains influential today. Even after many years, Audrey continues to be a prominent cultural icon. Her granddaughter, Emma Ferrer, has inherited her remarkable beauty and is an accomplished model.
Emma has established herself in the industry over the years, and in 2019, she made her foray into acting. At the age of 25, she continues to grace the camera with her presence while also making her debut in the world of art-house cinema with the upcoming release of “The Man in the Attic.”
Mick Jagger and Granddaughter Amba Jackson
In 2016, the world said goodbye to a famous Hollywood star, Debbie Reynolds. She was known for her roles in classic films like “Singin’ in the Rain” and was also the mother of Carrie Fisher, who played an iconic role in “Star Wars.” Fisher, in turn, became a mother, and her daughter, Billie Lourd, is now a talented actress as well.
Billie Lourd quickly became popular in Hollywood, impressing audiences with her acting. She has been a main cast member of the successful TV show “American Horror Story” since 2017. She also appeared in the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy from 2015 to 2019, following in the footsteps of her famous mother. Billie’s undeniable talent has made her a favorite among fans, showing that acting runs in her family.
Elizabeth Taylor and Grandson Quinn Tivey
Mick Jagger is famous for being the lead singer of The Rolling Stones. He has had a big impact on the music world for the past 50 years. Even though he is in his 70s, Mick is still very active in music. He has had many romantic relationships and is known for being charming and romantic. Mick has eight children with different partners.
Among his children is Jade Jagger, who is the mother of Amba Jackson. Unlike her famous grandfather, Amba chooses to stay out of the public eye whenever she can. While her personal life is still a mystery, a quick look at her Instagram profile shows that she became a mother last year.
Gregory Peck and Grandson Ethan Peck
Elizabeth Taylor was famous for many accomplishments. She was not only a talented actress with a strong presence, but she also had a strong desire for marriage. Her romantic relationships and expensive preferences received as much attention as her successful film career. When she died in 2011, Taylor’s net worth was more than $480 million.
Continuing her legacy, her grandson Quinn Tivey has been committed to preserving her memory by supporting causes related to AIDS awareness. “Even though I knew her as my grandmother, she was a very important person in her public life,” Quinn said. “She was an extraordinary leader, and she left a lasting impact on those she influenced. You could always feel that there was something truly special about her.”
Elvis Presley and Granddaughter Riley Keough
Gregory Peck had both great talent and good looks, which made him a famous Hollywood star. He is best known for playing Atticus Finch in the 1962 movie “To Kill a Mockingbird,” for which he won the Best Actor Oscar. Interestingly, his grandson Ethan looks a lot like him, especially with his shiny, black hair.
Peck had a great career. He played Spock in the second season of “Star Trek: Discovery.” He also acted in “Penny Dreadful: City of Angels” and the upcoming movie “The Midnight Sky,” which wasn’t released yet when this was written.
Steve McQueen and Grandson Steven R. McQueen
Elvis Presley changed the music industry by bringing rock and roll to many people, changing music forever. He was one of a kind during his time, and no one has had such a big impact since then. When he died in 1977, he left a lasting legacy. Even though he never got to meet his granddaughter, Riley, he would have been very proud of her.
Riley Keough, Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter, is a well-known actress. She has worked with renowned director Steven Soderbergh multiple times and was his first choice for the role of Christine in the controversial series called “The Girlfriend Experience.” Critics always praise her outstanding performances.
Tippi Hedren and Granddaughter Stella Banderas
Earning the nickname “The King of Cool” requires a reputation as effortlessly stylish as Steve McQueen’s. This famous actor was incredibly popular during the 1960s and 1970s, and his appeal has lasted through the years. McQueen was well-known for his acting skills and his passion for racing. It’s worth mentioning that his grandson, Steven R. McQueen, has also found success in the entertainment industry.
Steven got a part in the popular teenage fantasy show, “The Vampire Diaries,” where he played Jeremy Gilbert for the first six seasons. After that, he appeared on “Chicago Fire” for the fourth season and left the show the next year.
Clark Gable and Grandson Clark James Gable
Tippi Hedren became famous after being discovered by the famous director Alfred Hitchcock. Her striking appearance was a perfect fit for Hitchcock’s requirements, which led him to immediately cast her in the 1963 thriller “The Birds.” This movie’s success quickly made Tippi well-known to the general public.
In 1996, her granddaughter Stella was born, the daughter of Tippi’s daughter Melanie Griffith and actor Antonio Banderas. Stella is very beautiful, just like her famous parents. She is a model and often attends fancy events with them, like the Vanity Fair Awards.

Paul McCartney is a famous musician from the 1960s. He was a member of the Beatles along with Ringo Starr. Paul has had a successful career as a composer, producer, and performer. In another part of his life, Paul’s daughter Mary welcomed her son, Arthur Donald.
Arthur looks remarkably like a young Paul, but instead of playing a guitar, he decided to pursue an academic path. As of 2018, Arthur was studying hard at Yale University. We can assume that Arthur doesn’t have to worry about paying tuition fees, as he probably has a significant trust fund that will support his future endeavors.
Samuel Goldwyn and Grandson Tony Goldwyn
Bob Dylan has had a successful career known for his coolness. He is undeniably talented in music, but also keeps to himself, which makes him even more mysterious. This is impressive considering his large fanbase.
His grandson, Pablo, wants to be like Bob but doesn’t want to depend on his family name to succeed. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Pablo said: “My family is a part of who I am, but I’m not trying to escape from it. I love my grandfather like any grandson would. I’m very proud of his work, but I’m making my own way.”
Marlon Brando and Grandson Tuki Brando

He became famous for his role as the tough Stanley in “A Streetcar Named Desire,” and he continued to impress with outstanding performances in well-known movies like “The Godfather” and “Apocalypse Now.” He is unquestionably a lasting cultural symbol.
On the other hand, Brando’s daughter, Cheyenne Brando, faced personal challenges as a troubled model and sadly ended her own life five years after having a child named Tuki. Even though Tuki was not mentioned in his grandfather’s will, he managed to create his own successful career as a model and became the prominent face of Versace, all while studying medicine in France.
Loretta Lynn and Granddaughter Tayla Lynn
It’s clear that Chris Pine got his good looks from his grandmother, Anne Gwynne. She was a famous model and one of the first scream queens in the movie industry. Gwynne made a big impact on horror movies and appeared in many films during her successful career. She had two children, and one of them is Gwynne Gilford, who is Chris Pine’s mother.
Influenced by his grandmother, Chris started his acting career by appearing in an episode of “ER” in 2003. Since then, he has become well-known for his roles in popular movies like the “Star Trek” series and as Steve Trevor in DC’s Extended Universe.
Patty Duke and Granddaughter Ali Astin
Loretta Lynn has been singing country ballads for a long time, making her a well-known figure in the music genre. She became famous with songs like “You Ain’t Woman Enough to Take My Man” and “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” However, life hasn’t always been easy for her granddaughter, Tayla Lynn.
Tayla, who is also a talented country singer, struggled with addiction issues when she was younger. Even though she had been sober for eight years before her son, Tru, was born, she faced a difficult setback when she had a six-month relapse triggered by pain medication she took after a c-section. Thankfully, she was able to overcome this setback and get back on track.
John Carradine and Granddaughter Ever Carradine
Patty Duke, an American actress, had a lucky break when she got her own TV show. As a young star, she was living her dreams and even won important awards like Golden Globes and Emmy Awards. Success came to her easily, and Patty was ready for it.

She has made notable appearances in movies like “The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King,” “Bad Kids of Crestview Academy,” and “Two Rings.” Although Ali’s current pursuits may not be immediately obvious, it’s clear that she has inherited the same acting talent as her famous grandmother.
Tex Ritter and Grandson Jason Ritter

When Gwyneth Paltrow got married to Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, some people may not have expected it. However, they proved everyone wrong and stayed together for ten years. They had their first child, Apple, in 2004. Even though Apple is only 15 years old, she is very rich.
Jane Fonda and Granddaughter Viva Vadim
Kate Mara is known for her acting in movies like “Brokeback Mountain,” “The Open Road,” and “The Martian.” But her family has a prestigious background. Her grandfather was Wellington Mara, who co-owned the New York Giants and was the son of the team’s founder, Tim Mara.
Despite her famous family background, Kate has always chosen to follow her own path, striving to establish her own identity separate from the impressive legacy inherited from her ancestors. It didn’t take long for her sister, Rooney, to also enter the public eye. Both siblings left the busy streets of New York City to pursue acting careers in the lively setting of Los Angeles.
Berry Gordy and Grandson Sky Blu
In her prime, Jane Fonda was considered the ultimate symbol of Hollywood’s beauty. Even today, in her 80s, she still possesses her timeless beauty and earns great admiration, except for the Hanoi Jane incident. Fonda has three children, including Vanessa Vadim.

Bob Marley and Grandson Zion David Marley
Being a Hollywood actor is a tough job, and this was definitely the case for the talented Lloyd Bridges. Throughout his career, Lloyd appeared in an impressive 150 movies, with some of his most memorable roles in classics like “High Noon,” “Sahara,” and “Sea Hunt.”
Unfortunately, Lloyd Bridges died in 1998, but he is still remembered as a highly esteemed star on the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Grace Kelly and Granddaughter Camille Gottlieb
Rose Kennedy Schlossberg is frequently described as having a striking resemblance to her grandmother, the former First Lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis, as evident in these two images!

Carmine Coppola and Grandson Nicolas Cage
Camille Gottlieb, the granddaughter of Grace Kelly, has a unique royal connection. This connection stems from Grace Kelly’s marriage to Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1956.
However, despite her mother, Princess Stephanie, being fourteenth in line for the Monacan throne, Camille herself does not hold a claim to royal lineage. This is because her father was a palace guard and did not marry Princess Stephanie.
Frank Sinatra and Granddaughter AJ Lambert
Carmine Coppola stood as the central figure in the renowned Coppola clan, an illustrious lineage of Italian-American performers and directors. His claim to fame resided in his creation of unique musical compositions for cinematic classics such as “The Godfather” series, “Apocalypse Now,” and “The Outsiders,” all masterminded by his own son, Francis Ford Coppola.
While the name Nicolas Cage is likely to ring a bell for most, it may come as a surprise to learn that he belongs to the esteemed Coppola lineage. He opted for a surname change, an endeavor to create some distance from his celebrated family members.
Imagine the kind of expectations put on you when you’re a member of the Sinatra family! This is the situation AJ Lambert deals with as the child of Nancy Sinatra and the grandchild of the famous Frank Sinatra. Although Lambert is a skilled musician in her own way, her musical journey has taken a different path compared to her legendary grandfather.
At first, she played bass guitar in a punk band for a long time. Then, in her 40s, she started singing and covering Frank Sinatra’s classic songs. MOJO magazine described her music as a mix of alternative rock and smoky cabaret.
