Miley Cyrus Miley Rose to fame alongside her dad country music artist Billy Ray Cyrus when Miley was cast in the Disney Channel show Hannah Montana her real-life dad played her television dad Robbie Ray painting this big old smile on my face to hide in my broken heart if only she knew fans of Billy Ray might recognize the character's similarities including the not so fictional reference to the chart-topping song Achy Breaky Heart it's obvious that outside of the family name Billy Ray's passion for music massively influenced Miley's career the Disney Channel star continued to forge her own path in acting philanthropy and music with multiple chart Toppers of her own and a diverse discography Miley's vocal talent and Stage presence are undeniable foreign Number Nine Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal for the gyllenhaals the film business truly is a family trade you are too much for me yes son of a horse I wish I knew how to quit you while Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal are both well known for their careers as popular actors with multiple Blockbusters between them their parents are also prominent industry figures their father Stephen Gyllenhaal has directed award-winning film and television while their mother Naomi foner is an award-winning screenwriter while their kids careers in the industry might seem natural Jake said his parents initially made him turn down roles so he could experience life as a normal kid but these days you can be the smartest guy in the room the most qualified and no one cares unless you're flying around with a cape or shooting lasers from your hands no one will even listen yet Maggie still said her mother played a large role in encouraging her creativity growing up in passing on their wisdom it's clear that the Gyllenhaal's influence paid off in the long run for The Talented celebrity siblings tax man number eight Tracy Ellis Ross Dr Reagan showed me everything and it was actually kind of like going back to med school but without the bloody noses because I used to put so much pressure on myself while it might seem daunting to live up to the legacy of a supreme Tracy Ellis Ross didn't feel like her mother's celebrity status was ever overwhelming rather than feeling like she was trapped in Diana Ross's Shadow Tracy felt like she lived in Diana's quote Embrace Tracy has established an impressive career of her own between working as an actor helming a beauty business and still Making Waves as a model and style inspiration Tracy has said her mother always gave her and her siblings who have all worked in the industry the freedom to dream up their own unique Futures in response to her unique opportunity and position Tracy has worked to make a valuable and meaningful impact through her public influence looks like [Music] R7 Dakota Johnson what do you do sister monitor or something not that it's any of your business but I care about him and he's alone and I want to find him maybe maybe maybe what While most people grew up with their parents old Sports trophies on the Shelf Dakota Johnson's parents actors Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson are both Golden Globe recipients Dakota is the third generation of a matriarchy of Hollywood success to her Tippy hedron the legendary star of Alfred Hitchcock's the birds is Grandma [Music] thank you [Music] however Dakota has said that her parents initially discouraged her from acting yet after growing up on film sets she couldn't imagine herself choosing a different career path now Johnson is best known for her leading role in the 50 Shades series or maybe her Infamous Ellen interview but I did invite you and you didn't come so this time you invited me yeah are you sure yeah how do you know I don't think so ask everybody as she continues to rack up acting credits after capturing the Public's attention in a bold fashion I just wonder if perhaps your heart might be a bit bigger than you want to let on number six Michael Douglas Sun Tzu The Art of War every battle is won before it's ever fought think about it in some instances nepotism extends Beyond industry names to Hollywood royalty while Kirk Douglas may have had a less than Savory reputation in Hollywood his impact on the industry has been recognized by both the academy and the American Film Institute he was a star of the 1950s Silver Screen with several box office smashes under his belt I apologize sir for not telling you sooner that you're a degenerate sadistic old man and you can go to hell before I apologize to you now or ever again Michael has followed in his Father's Footsteps as a modern day movie star and even directly borrowed from his father's Legacy by taking on his rights to develop a film adaptation of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest outside of his father's Legacy Michael is well known for being an Emmy winner an Academy Award winner and an MCU star you need to be skillful agile and above all you need to be fast you should be able to shrink and grow on a dime number five Laura Dern I think we're back in business while the connection between Laura Dern and her father actor Bruce Dern is fairly obvious many were surprised to learn that Laura Dern's mother is actually famous actress Diane Ladd together the derns made history as the first family to have neighboring stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame flora and her mom then made Academy history when they were both nominated for Academy Awards for their film rambling Rose I could take that job as a waitress absolutely not Rose I wouldn't hear be working in a honky town place yet Dern doesn't skate by or Fade Into The Shadow over movie star father and bafta award-winning mother Laura Dern is highly regarded outside of her family name for everything from her role in Spielberg's Jurassic Park to her Academy award-winning performance in marriage story can you tell me a little more about what's going on because part of what we're going to do together is Tell Your Story number four Angelina Jolie why did you not tell me about the Illuminati your only child the world might know Angelina Jolie as a popular celebrity and one of Hollywood's highest paid actresses but her short-lived stint as Angelina Jolie Voigt is often forgotten the daughter of Academy award-winning actor John Voight and actress Marceline Bertrand Jolie's initial TV credits are listed under her and her father's shared last name Jolie's complicated relationship with her father has been the source of many headlines over the years and Jolie has openly tried to separate herself from her father's Legacy I'm so happy that I'm not crying just you know you get so happy when you know your parent loves you so much now I'm gonna cry though changing her last name did not magically rid her of nepotism's influence Jolene used her Spotlight to build an influential and award-winning career under her own name now we can only wonder if the Jolie pit children will do the same everyone in Century six is going to die number three Jane Fonda why'd you say you're the best actress in the world because it's an act that's what's nice about it the Fonda family proves that nepotism isn't always one size fits all Jane Fonda countered assumptions about her father Academy award-winning actor Henry Fonda when she revealed that he wasn't much of a quote Hollywood Insider I've been thinking about us too but our people living like pigs and good rich landly and fallow or maybe one guy with a million acres and a hundred thousand Farmers starving there's no doubt that she and her brother Peter who was also an academy award-nominated actor still benefited from their father's status Jane explains he never actively guided her career while Henry Fonda has been recognized as a male screen Legend Jane's diverse and eclectic career has created an impressive Legacy of her own from Broadway acting to television comedies to oscar-winning films she's also collected a slew of awards too long to list along the way plus you cannot forget her famous 1980s workout videos regret CH number two Jamie Lee Curtis [Music] for Janet Lee and Jamie Lee Curtis like mother like daughter means both starring in a
