To add to the ones mentioned, Laura Dern, daughter of Bruce  Dern  and Diane Ladd.  

 

All of the actors and actesses in the posts and their children are talented.  I do not have a problem with them being in the acting profession as long as they have talent.  I realize having famous parents helps but your career will last only if you can act .

I had no idea who she was.  She was fabulous playing Carrie.

I first saw her when she guest starred in her mom's show- The Closer.

We know that family members of those in the entertainment industry will be given a leg-up. It does seem a bit unfair, when there are so many very talented people who will never get a break. 

 

We see many of the young ladies of the famous becoming models, too, while equally beautiful (or more so) young women are constantly rejected by agencies that matter. I think it's a publicity draw at the fashion shows, to see celebrities children. It becomes an industry pay-off. 

 

Of course this happens in almost any field. It's far too often about who you know, not what you can do. This is what upsets so many, who feel they have no chance. Dreams are lost.

Goldie has more children, this one with her long time love.  Wyatt Hawn Russell is also an actor.  Didn't Google him when I saw him in Falcon and Winter Soldier, but did when he showed up again in The Woman in the Window.

 

Maya Hawke (Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke) has been in a few high profile things, making waves in Stranger Things.

 

Not sure if I should include her, but Elizabeth Olsen's sisters are the Olsen twins (but I wouldn't really consider them an acting family.). Elizabeth is by far the best actress in the family!

 

Bryce Dallas Howard is Ron Howard's daughter.
