Real acting talent running in the family. I'll go first: Bruce to Laura Dern.

I was very impressed by Sosie Bacon in Mare of Easttown.

Personal life aside, I think Charlie Sheen had real talent.

Im with you about Charlie.

John and Anjelica Huston. Even though Daddy probably raped her and/or whored her out, hence her obsession with terribly abusive guys like Jack Nicholson. (Per Anjelica's memoirs, btw.)

And--going out on a limb here--Ryan and Tatum O'Neal (and Tatum's mum, Joanna Moore). But we all know Ryan raped/whored out Tatum (and dated--and slapped around--Anjelica Huston). A small world, that 70s Hollywood.

Finally-stating the obvious--Henry, Peter, and Jane Fonda.

The Redgraves

Will/Jada Smith and their two non-binary offspring

Don't forget John Huston's father Walter. Brilliant, versatile actor who should be more well-known. Thanks to TCM for showing lots of his many movies often, including (but not limited to) my favorite "Dodsworth".

R4 tatum was good in that one film. What film wax Ryan ever good in?

What am I chopped liver, OP? That talent doesn't just come from one side of the family tree, you know.

What about non-talent being passed from one generation to the next? I nominate Rita Wilson to Chet Haze.

r9 - Oh for chrissakes, Diane, *yes*, you *are* chopped liver.

Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh, and Jamie Lee Curtis.

Maureen O'Sullivan, Mia Farrow and Dylan Farrow. Such amazing actresses. So convincing!

John Carradine, Keith Carradine, and Martha Plimpton.

Jon Voight and Angellina Jolie (she can be effective in the right role).

^ Angelina

Lon Chaney, Sr. and Lon Chaney, Jr.

Why is it people like R10 have to ruin a threat. This is about real talent that runs in the family R10. If you want to talk about non-talent go start your own thread.

If we're including nontalent from one generation to the next, as r10 suggests, how can one miss M to m.

Emma Thompson's not bad.

Rosemary Harris and Jennifer Ehle

Phylicia Rashad and Debbie Allan

The Redgraves/Richardsons.

The Houston’s are into the next generation with Jack.

The Barrymore family of course. From Drew it goes back 6 or 7 generations. Through her grandmother Delores there are also the Costellos.

Delete the apostrophe.

R23, D[bold]o[/bold]lores Costello

And correct the spelling, R24 -- it's Huston.

Don't forget my Kate, Oliver, and Wyatt.

Lee Grant and Dinah Manoff.

How about Ingrid Bergman and Isabella Rossellini?

James Corden and this guy

Richard and Jared Harris

*thread

Tom to Colin Hanks.

Col was great in Fargo.

Riley Keough

R24 & R25 -- thanks for that. I don't know why I try to use my iPad keyboard on DL; it really doesn't work well. I appreciate the corrections (none of which should have been necessary had I taken more time).

R16 - Lon Chaney Jr was adopted.

Whomp whomp.

Brendan Gleeson/Domhnall Gleeson.

Agreed about Keough; she's a surprisingly good & versatile actress.

Judy Garland and Vincent Minnelli produced the fabulous Liza Minnelli.

Judy Garland produced the fabulous Lorna Luft.

1. The Redgraves

2. The Fondas

3. The Hustons

4. The Garland/Minnellis

5. The Curtis/Leighs

R30: I'd honestly say the man in the picture is the more visually appealing of the two.

With the Fonda's it goes like this: Henry, Jane, Peter, Bridget, and Troy Garity (Jane's son who has BDF and is proving to be a fine character actor). That's not half bad even though Bridget basically retired.

I adore the Redgraves and Houstons. They always deliver.

Sarah Bernhardt to Sandra Bernhardt.

How original R39. If only someone before you hadn't already posted those names.

Vanessa Redgrave and family. It's already been said about four times above, but it can't be emphasized enough.

Jeff and Beau Bridges

Vanessa Redgrave is a terrible actress. She always stares with her huge eyes to exaggerate a point. No subtlety.

Audrey Landers and Judy Landers! A boatload of talent between sisters!

John and Joan Cusack.

Fuck you, R45

R39, your #3 family is spelled Huston. They're from Canada, not Texas.

R50?

R50, please look again.

Vic Morrow and Jennifer Jason Leigh

The Carradines - John, David, Keith, Robert, Bruce, Ever, Sorel, Martha Plimpton, etc.

The Phoenixes

Very sorry, R39 -- you're right and it's R41 that's wrong. I missed my nap today (not cranky, just bleary-eyed).

R45 looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue!

Joan and Melissa Rivers

Vic Morrow, Jennifer Jason Leigh

Maggie Smith, Toby Stephens

All those Foxes in England

Diana Ross, Tracey Ross

No love for Sir John Mills and his lovely daughters Juliet and Hayley?

Phyllida Law, Emma Thompson, Sophie Thompson

Donald and Kiefer Sutherland Kiefer's daughter was on Veep

Kirk and Michael Douglas

The Arquette family

Ron Howard and Bryce Dallas Howard

Stellan and Alex Skarsgaard

Forgot Lisa Bonet and Zoe Kravitz

Of course, me and my children --

Wait. I'm joking.

I'm not even that good of an actress to pull off that line!

June and Ward Cleaver and Beaver Cleaver.

And of course, Wally Cleaver too.

The Howards are a tough case, because Ron was only really good as a little kid, while Bryce has been terrible in a lot of things that probably weren’t her fault, but she gave a heartbreaking performance in that one Black Mirror episode and I don’t think that was just a fluke. Moving over to directing was probably a good idea for her, too.

Ryan Murphy is the king of bad Hollywood nepotism, but sometimes he gets it right: Jill Clayburgh’s daughter Lily Rabe is pretty talented.

The Nelsons and the Harmons

Ozzie, Harriet, David, Rick, Tracy, Sam, Matthew, Gunnar, Mark, Kelly, Sharon, Sean, Elyse Knox, and Pam Dawber.

TALENT!

R46 Vanessa Redgrave is one of the greatest actresses in history. She can be very intense (Isadora) like you mentioned but she can also be very subtle and soft (Howard's End). Glenda Jackson is the only other actress that rivals her.

[quote] John and Anjelica Huston.

I'm...NO r4 not for directing.

Did we forget that Anjelica directed that horrible abortion of a movie called Riding The Bus With My Sister where Rosie goes FULL RETARD!

Goldie Hawn to Kate Hudson.

Robert to Alan Alda.

Dame Diana Rigg and her daughter, Rachael Stirling

The Talmadge sisters

The Bennett sisters

[quote] And--going out on a limb here--Ryan and Tatum O'Neal (and Tatum's mum, Joanna Moore). But we all know Ryan raped/whored out Tatum (and dated--and slapped around--Anjelica Huston). A small world, that 70s Hollywood.

IIRC, Anjelica's half sister Allegra outed Ryan as a perv in her book years ago.

The Young-Blane Sisters

Bonnie Franklin and her soon-to-be-discovered spawn. Coming soon to a Netflix show near you!

Alan and Adam Arkin

Joan Crawford...and you-know-who!!!

Georgia Holt - Cheilyn Sarkisian - Chaz Bono

You forgot Ann Cusack, r48

No one's mentioned the Sutherlands yet?
