Hereditary America strikes again in the acting profession...

The Douglass family... ( Mike follows Kurt )

The Barrymore family... ( Drew follows a bunch of Barrymores )

The Bridges family... ( Bo, and the others follow Loyd. I loved Seahunt growing up )

The James Cann Family... ( Scott, son of Sonny of the Godfather )

The Brolin Family... ( James' son played G.W. Bush in "W" )

Gwyneth Paltrow is the daughter of an actress - Blythe Danner.

Did I miss anyone???

I wonder how well little Smith it will do on this picture and in his career?

Best Wishes!

Weren't the Fonda's another family? I never really saw Jane Fonda's movies but Easy Rider was an interesting one, and if I recall correctly their Father was an actor?

Their father was Henry Fonda. One of the best actors ever born in the U.S. He has a remarkable legacy, definitely worth exploring. Start with 12 Angry Men.

Jane's best dramatic role was in "Klute". For many of us she will be remembered for "Barbarella".

Peter, of course, "Easy Rider". "Ulee's Gold" is also worth the effort.

I thought On Golden Pond was a great movie with Henry Fonda.

I think I heard Cage is the nephew or cousin of Francis Ford Coppola - director of the Godfather.

Nicholas Cage is the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola. His real name was Nichalos Coppola but he changed it.

Sophia Coppola, his daughter, who he cast in The Godfather part 3 I think.
Yes, Cage is related to Coppola, but not his son, like TL said, I think he is a nephew.

Sophia is also into directing like her dad.

I enjoyed her version of the Marie Antonette/French Revolution saga starring Kirsten Dunst as Marie Antonette.

I believe Talia Shire is Coppola's sister.

As for Cage, in one of his earlier movies (Fast Times at Ridgemont High) he was credited is Nicholas Coppola.

The fight scenes in the modern movies are so unrealistic. I hope they go back to the 1980s style.

Carrie Fisher is Debbie Reynolds' daughter.

Liza Minelli is Judy Garland's.

Jamie Lee Curtis is Janet Leigh's.

George Clooney is from a big showbiz family, most noted for his aunt(?) Rosemary, and he's constantly embarrassed at being effectively the only person in it who can't sing.

The Karate Kid brought something fresh to the table and proved exceptionally skilled at reaching its adolescent audience. This film's art also consists entirely of hiding the cynicism of its calculations under an agreeably modest and disarming manner.

Also, a excellent movie, about success and what it takes to get there... you can learn a lot from it and it is based upon a real story, I can recommend it to any marketer.

Perhaps a touch on the corny side and undeniably broad, Kid is a ridiculously rewarding drama that puts pure sincerity to marvelous use, inflating a mild underdog story into an inspiring tale of education and developing friendship.
