00:00What do you want me to say?
00:01That I'm a good mom.
00:03Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:04And today, we're diving deep into the family trees of some of Hollywood's brightest stars,
00:09uncovering the surprising famous connections that often fly under the radar.
00:13You're ornamental, not functional.
00:15So don't come into the overland trying to use your brain because no one cares.
00:20Number 30, Zoe Perry.
00:22Meemaw is coming over to watch you. I gotta go.
00:25Where?
00:26Daddy's not feeling good. We're gonna go see a doctor.
00:30Is he okay?
00:31He's gonna be fine. You just sit right there. Meemaw's on her way over to cook you dinner.
00:34Ever watch young Sheldon and think Mary Cooper seems eerily familiar?
00:38That's because Zoe Perry is literally the daughter of Laurie Metcalf,
00:41who played the same character on The Big Bang Theory.
00:44Talk about perfect casting.
00:45Maybe we should sit down and talk about this.
00:49Can you recommend a surface you haven't had coitus on?
00:56That's not funny.
00:57Growing up with two actors as parents, her father is Jeff Perry, who played Cyrus Bean on Scandal.
01:02Perry was practically destined for the screen.
01:04While she's carved her own path with roles in shows like The Family and Scandal,
01:08yes, alongside her dad,
01:10portraying the younger version of her mom's character feels like a Hollywood full circle moment.
01:14The mother-daughter duo even share similar mannerisms and vocal inflections
01:18that make the character continuity between shows absolutely seamless.
01:22Let me try this a different way.
01:24Um, do you ever feel paranoid?
01:26Like people are out to get you?
01:29I'm a 10-year-old in high school.
01:30People are out to get me.
01:32That's fair.
01:32Number 29, Donal Gleeson.
01:35Are you attracted to me?
01:36What?
01:37Are you attracted to me?
01:39You give me indications that you are.
01:43I do?
01:44Yes.
01:44That striking red hair isn't the only thing Donal Gleeson inherited from his father.
01:49Legendary Irish actor Brendan Gleeson,
01:51the Dublin-born star who's conquered movies like Star Wars and Ex Machina,
01:55actually shared the screen with his dad in the Harry Potter series.
01:58All right, we'll have time for a cozy catch-up later.
02:01We've got to get the hell out of here.
02:02And soon.
02:04Potter, you're underage, which means you've still got the trace on you.
02:07Despite the family connection, Gleeson has purposefully forged his own identity in Hollywood,
02:12showcasing an impressive range from romantic comedies like About Time
02:16to psychological thrillers like The Patient.
02:18It's peaceful.
02:20Everybody's happy.
02:21The central idea of No Shoes Nation
02:26is love.
02:27The elder Gleeson, renowned for roles in In Bruges and The Banshees of In Acerin,
02:32has clearly passed down his formidable acting chops to his eldest son,
02:35creating one of Ireland's most talented acting dynasties.
02:39I have a set of shears at home.
02:41And each time you bother me from this day on,
02:44I'll take those shears,
02:46and I'll take one of me fingers off with them.
02:48And I'll give that finger to you.
02:50Number 28.
02:51Jennifer Grey.
02:52The star who made us swoon in Dirty Dancing
02:55has Broadway royalty in her DNA.
02:57They look great together.
02:59Yeah.
03:00You'd think they were a couple, wouldn't you?
03:03Aren't they?
03:04No, not since we were kids.
03:06Jennifer Grey's father is Jewel Grey,
03:09the Tony and Oscar-winning star
03:10who originated the role of the master of ceremonies in Cabaret,
03:14both on stage and screen.
03:16Her mother, Jill Wilder,
03:17was also an accomplished actress and singer.
03:19Despite growing up with such theatrical powerhouses,
03:22Jennifer carved her own path to fame,
03:24becoming the face of 80s cinema with Ferris Bueller's Day Off
03:27before carrying a watermelon into our hearts as Baby in Dirty Dancing.
03:31In a nutshell, I hate my brother.
03:34How's that?
03:35That's cool.
03:36Did you blow him away or something?
03:40No, not yet.
03:41The Grey family talent runs deep
03:43and proves that the apple doesn't fall far from the theatrical tree.
03:47Just keep my shoulders down,
03:48my head up,
03:49my frame locked,
03:51stay on my toes.
03:53What if I forget the steps?
03:54Pull up, watch your frame,
03:56and remember, let him lead you.
03:58Number 27, Isabella Rossellini
04:01Hollywood royalty barely begins to describe Isabella Rossellini's heritage.
04:05The model-turned-actress-turned-filmmaker
04:07is the daughter of two cinema legends,
04:09Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman
04:11and Italian director Roberto Rossellini.
04:13Oh, then I'd be too late.
04:14I want to go to the museum
04:15and they close at 4 o'clock.
04:17I don't want to miss anything.
04:19Aren't you going to have some lunch?
04:20I've had a sandwich.
04:21Well, I better get started.
04:22Born in Rome,
04:23Rossellini inherited her mother's luminous beauty and acting talent,
04:27becoming the face of Lancôme for 14 years
04:29before starring in cult classics like David Lynch's Blue Velvet.
04:46The Bergman-Rossellini connection caused a massive scandal in the 1950s.
04:50Ingrid left her husband and daughter to be with Roberto while still married,
04:54but resulted in one of the most fascinating second-generation talents in film.
04:58Rossellini's eclectic career spans modeling, acting,
05:02directing wildlife documentaries,
05:03and even creating a comedic series about animal reproduction.
05:07He was concerned that the sister from my order that made that regrettable scene
05:11might have been brought to Rome with the deliberate intention
05:16of embarrassing a member of this conclave.
05:20Number 26. Jason Schwartzman
05:22Jason Schwartzman has that quirky indie film charm locked down,
05:26especially in collaborations with director Wes Anderson.
05:29Where did you go to school, by the way?
05:31Harvard.
05:33Really? That's a coincidence.
05:35My top schools where I want to apply to are Oxford and the Sarbonne.
05:39My safety's Harvard.
05:40What casual viewers may not realize
05:42is that he was born to actress Talia Shire,
05:45best known as Adrian in Rocky
05:46and Connie Corleone in The Godfather,
05:48and film producer Jack Schwartzman.
05:58Shire is also part of the Coppola family,
06:00making Schwartzman a cousin of director Sofia Coppola
06:03and actor Nicolas Cage.
06:05So yes, the cinematic bloodline here is deep.
06:08Despite this intimidating family tree,
06:10Schwartzman has established his own distinctive identity
06:13with his deadpan style in films like
06:15The Darjeeling Limited and Moonrise Kingdom,
06:17plus his music career with his former rock band, Phantom Planet.
06:21Look into my eyes.
06:22Do you love each other?
06:24Yes, we do.
06:24But think about what I'm saying.
06:26Are you sure you're ready for this?
06:27Yes, we are.
06:27They're not listening to me.
06:28Let me rephrase it.
06:29We're in a hurry.
06:30Are you chewing...
06:31Spit out the gum, sister.
06:33Number 25.
06:34Allison Williams.
06:35Where are those keys, Rose?
06:41You know I can't give you the keys, right, babe?
06:42When Allison Williams terrified audiences in Get Out,
06:46some viewers had no idea her father delivered the nightly news
06:49to millions of Americans for over a decade.
06:52The Yale-educated actress is the daughter of Brian Williams,
06:55the former NBC nightly news anchor
06:57who was once among America's most trusted newsmen.
07:00Tipping point in the fight for the GOP nomination tonight,
07:03high drama with Michigan hanging in the balance
07:06and major implications for the race going forward.
07:09Her mother, Jane Gillen-Stoddard,
07:12is a TV producer who's largely stayed behind the cameras.
07:15Williams first gained attention as Marnie in HBO's Girls
07:18before transitioning to horror,
07:20proving herself a versatile performer
07:22who stepped out of her father's shadow.
07:23While Brian reported real-world nightmares,
07:26Allison has made a career creating fictional ones
07:29and doing it brilliantly.
07:30Thou in the presence of greatness
07:33Cause right now thou hast forsaken us
07:37You should be honored by my lateness
07:40Number 24, Robin Thicke
07:50Before Blurred Lines catapulted Robin Thicke to global fame
07:53and controversy,
07:54he was already part of a showbiz family
07:56with serious TV credentials.
07:58His father, Alan Thicke,
08:00charmed audiences as Jason Seaver
08:02on the 80s sitcom Growing Pains,
08:04while his mother, Gloria Loring,
08:06played Liz Chandler on the long-running soap
08:08Days of Our Lives.
08:09I wish you every happiness, Mrs. Curtis.
08:11Well, thank you.
08:12Please call me Liz.
08:13And it's such a pleasure to meet you.
08:14This is the boy that you went to South America to help?
08:17This is the one.
08:18I hardly recognized it when I saw a few more.
08:20His parents were also musical powerhouses,
08:23composing the theme songs for the classic sitcom's
08:25Different Strokes and the Facts of Life.
08:27All the time is right
08:28To learn the facts of life
08:30When the world never seems
08:33To be living a few dreams
08:38Thicke started his career as a songwriter
08:40before stepping into the spotlight himself.
08:42Despite the shadow of his TV famous dad,
08:44he established himself with songs like Lost Without You,
08:47years before that controversial 2013 mega-hit
08:50made him a household name.
08:52I'm lost without you
08:54Can't help myself
08:57How does it feel?
09:00Number 23, Enrique Iglesias
09:02I can be your hero, baby
09:08I can be your hero, baby
09:09The king of Latin pop comes from music industry royalty,
09:13though American fans might not fully appreciate
09:15the magnitude of his father's fame.
09:17Enrique Iglesias is the son of Spanish music legend
09:20Julio Iglesias, who sold over 300 million records worldwide.
09:32His mother, Isabel Pressler,
09:34is a Filipino-Spanish socialite and journalist
09:36whose elegance and style made her a celebrity in her own right.
09:40Despite this illustrious background,
09:42Iglesias initially released his music under a pseudonym
09:44and even kept his early career secret from his father.
09:47The gamble paid off,
09:49With hits like Hero and Bailamos,
09:51Enrique has achieved global superstardom on his own terms
09:54while building a music empire that rivals his father's.
10:04Number 22, Margaret Qualley
10:14Those acting skills Margaret Qualley displays
10:16in projects like Made and The Substance come honestly.
10:19Her mother is 80s rom-com queen Andy McDowell.
10:22With that iconic curly hair and southern charm,
10:25McDowell conquered Hollywood in classics like
10:27Four Weddings and a Funeral and Groundhog Day.
10:29Are you seeing anyone?
10:31I think this is getting too personal.
10:33I don't think I'm ready to share this with you.
10:37How about you?
10:38What do you want?
10:39Qualley's father, Paul Qualley,
10:41was a model and rancher who met McDowell
10:43while posing for Gap ads.
10:45Before acting,
10:46Qualley trained as a ballerina
10:47and even briefly modeled.
10:49Despite her lineage,
10:50she has carved out her own niche
10:52with critically acclaimed performances
10:53that showcase her versatility,
10:55earning several nominations for The Substance and Made,
10:58the latter of which she actually starred in
11:00alongside her famous mom.
11:02Okay, we also have to get grandma's furniture.
11:04Okay, mom?
11:04Which is the reason that we're here.
11:05Yeah, yeah.
11:06So, how do I look?
11:08My girl's too out.
11:11You look good.
11:12Number 21, Tony Goldwyn
11:14When Tony Goldwyn played Carl Bruner in Ghost
11:17or President Fitzgerald Grant in Scandal,
11:20few viewers realized he comes from
11:21one of Hollywood's founding dynasties.
11:24America is not having a baby.
11:25We are, you and me.
11:26America is a baby, for God's sakes, man.
11:29Like, everything is not a political move.
11:30His grandfather was Samuel Goldwyn.
11:33Yes, the G in MGM Studios
11:35and one of the original movie moguls
11:37who helped build Hollywood from scratch.
11:39Goldwyn's father, Samuel Goldwyn Jr.,
11:42continued the family business as a successful producer,
11:45while his mother, Jennifer Howard,
11:46was an actress and the daughter
11:47of prominent playwright Sidney Howard,
11:49who wrote Gone with the Wind.
11:51We gotta raise it, that's all.
11:52Yes, and how?
11:57I'd go ask Mr. Ashley.
11:59Oh, he ain't got no $300, Miss Scarlet.
12:01Well, I can ask him if I want to, can I?
12:03With filmmaking literally in his blood,
12:06Goldwyn has flourished as both an actor and director,
12:09helming films like A Walk on the Moon
12:10and episodes of prestigious TV shows.
12:13But a top priority of mine is gonna be
12:15to get people back on the same page.
12:17This office is part of a system
12:19and that system works most effectively
12:20when it works together.
12:22Especially when it comes to my senior staff.
12:25Number 20, Emma Roberts.
12:27I can't drive and I can't vote.
12:30I can't even pierce my nose.
12:33So what does it mean to be 13?
12:36I can go to the movies and see PG-13.
12:40Can't see him when you're 12.
12:42While the last name Roberts might have people
12:44thinking Emma's mother is Julia Roberts,
12:46that is not the case.
12:48Although, one look at the duo,
12:49and there really is no denying the fact
12:52that the two women are indeed related.
12:54To get to their link, though,
12:56we have to explore the fact
12:57that the unfabulous star
12:59has some pretty fabulous Hollywood genes
13:01thanks to her father, actor Eric Roberts.
13:04Working since the 1970s,
13:06he's built up quite an impressive resume
13:08with nearly 700 credits to his name.
13:19He's also the older brother
13:21to the aforementioned
13:22and totally fabulous pretty woman herself,
13:25Julia Roberts.
13:27Number 19, Eve Hewson.
13:29Eve Hewson played Tom Hanks' daughter
13:31in the 2015 film Bridge of Spies,
13:33but her real-life father
13:35might be even more famous.
13:36Who is this not-head?
13:38I'd rather not say.
13:39Indeed.
13:40She is Paul David Hewson's child.
13:42That's pretty impressive, right?
13:44Oh, wait.
13:45Did we forget to mention
13:46that Paul David Hewson
13:47is best known by his stage name Bono?
13:49That's right.
13:50The woman who played Adele
13:52in the Netflix miniseries
13:53Behind Her Eyes
13:54is Bono's offspring.
13:56She's also reportedly
13:57one of the catalysts
13:59for the U2 song Kite,
14:00which he co-wrote
14:01after a kite-flying adventure
14:03with some of his kids
14:04ended poorly.
14:06Number 18, Maya Rudolph.
14:14Primarily known for her brilliance
14:16as a comedic actor and performer,
14:18Maya Rudolph has some rather
14:19impressive musical abilities as well.
14:37And it probably shouldn't surprise us
14:39because she has some rather impressive
14:41musical parents.
14:42Her dad, Richard Rudolph,
14:44is a musician, producer,
14:45and songwriter,
14:46probably best known for Lovin' You.
14:48A number one hit,
14:50he co-wrote it with Maya's mother,
14:52the late Minnie Riperton.
14:54She was a singer
14:55with an absolutely beautiful voice,
14:57famous for her amazing ability
14:59to hit the highest notes
15:00humanly possible,
15:02employing the whistle register.
15:04Number 17, Zoe Kravitz.
15:07With the last name Kravitz,
15:09it won't shock anyone
15:10to hear that Zoe's dad
15:11is music superstar Lenny Kravitz.
15:14But for those who might not remember,
15:16his ex-wife and Zoe's mother
15:18is none other than
15:19actress Lisa Bonet.
15:20We were very young
15:23and it was wonderful.
15:25And we had Zoe,
15:27which is, I see now,
15:29what it was all about.
15:31It was really all about
15:32bringing this beautiful child
15:35to the planet
15:36and also sharing the love that we had.
15:39And their familial relation
15:41isn't the only thing
15:42the two women have in common.
15:43In 2020, Zoe starred
15:46in the Hulu series High Fidelity,
15:48based on the novel
15:49and the film from 2000.
15:50A film that, that's right,
15:52Lisa Bonet appeared in.
15:54Kravitz has also embraced
15:55her musical side,
15:56forming the band Lola Wolf in 2013
15:59and releasing an album
16:00called Calm Down the following year.
16:03Number 16, Jamie Lee Curtis.
16:05Jamie Lee Curtis,
16:06who blew us away
16:08in the horror classic Halloween
16:09and its subsequent movies,
16:11has more than earned
16:12her Scream Queen credentials.
16:14Help!
16:16Help me, please!
16:18But she doesn't even have
16:20the most famous movie scream
16:21in her family.
16:22That honor goes to her mother,
16:25the late Janet Leigh,
16:26whose shower scream in Psycho
16:28is one of the most iconic scenes
16:30in the history of cinema.
16:33And it turns out
16:35Jamie Lee's late father
16:36is also insanely famous.
16:38He is none other than Tony Curtis.
16:41Maybe you remember his role
16:42opposite Jack Lemmon
16:43and Marilyn Monroe
16:44in the all-time great romantic comedy
16:46Some Like It Hot.
16:48Number 15, Jack Quaid.
16:50Must be a special guy.
16:53No, no, I'm not.
16:54I just feel lucky to be here.
16:56Actor Jack Quaid
16:57has been one of the boys
16:58since 2019,
16:59and he's been Meg Ryan
17:01and Dennis Quaid's boy
17:02since his birth
17:03on April 24th, 1992.
17:06Jack first appeared
17:07on our screens
17:07in 2012's The Hunger Games
17:09and has been growing
17:11his IMDb page ever since.
17:13Still, it's gonna take a while
17:15for him to build up
17:16a list of credits
17:16that matches both his parents.
17:18From The Right Stuff
17:19to When Harry Met Sally,
17:21both Dennis and Meg
17:22have earned critical
17:23and box office praise
17:24for their work,
17:25particularly back
17:26in the 80s and 90s.
17:28Number 14, Lily Collins.
17:31Lily Collins got everyone's
17:32attention in 2009
17:34when she played
17:35Sandra Bullock's kid
17:36in The Blind Side.
17:37How'd the dork do
17:37in the school play?
17:43Um, okay.
17:46But this talented actress
17:47probably wasn't blindsided
17:49by what came
17:49with the fame and success,
17:51since she's the daughter
17:52of renowned musician
17:53Phil Collins.
17:54When Phil was with
17:55his second wife,
17:56Jill Tavelman,
17:57they had Lily.
17:58And while Lily
17:59has continued to find success
18:01as an actress,
18:01her life hasn't always been
18:03another day in paradise
18:04or Paris.
18:05But she powerfully dives
18:07into how she's faced
18:08things like an eating disorder
18:09in her 2017 book,
18:11Unfiltered.
18:12No shame,
18:13no regrets,
18:14just me.
18:15Number 13, Maya Hawke.
18:17Robin.
18:19What are you doing?
18:20I cracked it.
18:21Cracked what?
18:23I cracked the code.
18:25If you've watched
18:25Stranger Things
18:26and found yourself thinking
18:27that Robin Buckley
18:28looks a lot like Uma Thurman,
18:30there's a good reason for that.
18:31She's played by her daughter.
18:33Maya Hawke was born
18:34in July of 1998,
18:36just two months
18:37after her parents,
18:38Thurman and Ethan Hawke,
18:40tied the knot.
18:41This was about four years
18:42after her mother
18:43first worked
18:43with the great
18:44Quentin Tarantino
18:45in a little movie
18:47called Pulp Fiction.
18:48And while Maya's career
18:49is just getting started,
18:51she already has something
18:52in common with her mother
18:53in that she too
18:54has worked with Tarantino.
18:56Hawke played
18:57the flower child
18:57in 2019's
18:59Once Upon a Time
19:00in Hollywood.
19:01Oh, right.
19:04Number 12,
19:05Billie Lord.
19:06Getting to act
19:07in the Star Wars movies
19:08would be a big deal
19:09for almost any actor.
19:10And for Billie Lord,
19:12getting to play
19:13Lieutenant Connix
19:13no doubt had an even
19:15more special
19:15and personal appeal.
19:17You see,
19:17Lord is related
19:18to Star Wars royalty
19:20being that she is
19:21the daughter
19:21of Princess Leia herself,
19:23the inimitable
19:24late Carrie Fisher.
19:25Was that a big deal
19:26when you were growing up
19:27at Princess Leia
19:27and you knew
19:28your mom was
19:28in Star Wars?
19:29I mean,
19:30honestly,
19:30growing up,
19:31I wasn't really
19:31that into it.
19:32My mom tried
19:33to play it for me
19:34and I sat down
19:35and she put it on
19:36and honestly,
19:37my first reaction
19:38was,
19:38this is too loud.
19:39And no,
19:41her father isn't
19:42Harrison Ford,
19:42but rather a
19:43Creative Artists Agency
19:45co-chairman,
19:46talent agent Brian Lord.
19:48While some of you
19:49may have known
19:49that already,
19:50there are many
19:51who wouldn't have
19:52guessed the identity
19:53of Lord's parents
19:54in a million light years.
19:56So,
19:56your house,
19:57I would imagine,
19:58well,
19:58I know you'd like,
19:58Very normal,
19:59what do you mean?
19:59Yeah,
20:01was it,
20:01was it,
20:02did you,
20:02were you aware
20:03that it wasn't normal?
20:05No,
20:05it's just like
20:06any other kid.
20:07I just thought
20:07my parents were weird
20:09as hell
20:09and irritating
20:10and embarrassing
20:10like anyone does.
20:13Number 11,
20:14Drew Barrymore.
20:15There have been
20:16a number of
20:17famous acting families
20:18from the Baldwins
20:19to the Bridges,
20:20but the Barrymore
20:21family name
20:21makes up a huge
20:22part of Hollywood's history.
20:27A very young
20:28Drew Barrymore
20:29screamed her way
20:30into our hearts
20:31in E.T.,
20:32but she was just
20:32the most recent
20:33in a long line
20:34of stars.
20:35You can trace it
20:36back to her
20:36great-grandfather,
20:37the stage actor
20:38Maurice Barrymore
20:39and his kids,
20:40Lionel,
20:41Ethel,
20:41and John.
20:41You're from
20:42an incredible family.
20:43Your father was
20:43a great actor,
20:44your aunt,
20:44your uncle,
20:45and of course
20:46your granddad
20:46who had a good
20:47old Aussie mate,
20:48Errol Flynn.
20:49The latter's
20:49child's own son,
20:51fellow performer
20:51John Drew Barrymore,
20:52is Drew's father.
20:54Drew has been
20:55acting for over
20:5540 years,
20:57but her family
20:58has been doing it
20:58for over 100.
21:00Number 10,
21:01Jessica Capshaw.
21:03Most of you
21:03probably know Jessica
21:04from her role
21:05as Arizona Robbins,
21:06the head of
21:07pediatric surgery
21:08on the long-running
21:08ABC show
21:09Grey's Anatomy.
21:10Hey, oh,
21:10bloodbath.
21:11All right,
21:11you need to come
21:12with me
21:12and bring all that stuff.
21:13She first appeared
21:14on the show in 2009
21:15and was there
21:16for nine years.
21:17Arizona Robbins.
21:19I'm taking over
21:20Dr. Kenley's patients.
21:20You're the peach surgeon.
21:22What you may not know
21:23about Jessica Capshaw
21:24is that her mom
21:25is actress Kate Capshaw,
21:26best known for playing
21:27nightclub singer
21:28Willie Scott
21:29in Indiana Jones
21:30and the Temple of Doom.
21:41Jessica has also
21:42been playing the role
21:43of stepdaughter
21:44to Steven Spielberg
21:45since he married
21:46her mom in 1991.
21:48Number 9,
21:49O'Shea Jackson Jr.
21:51Given that his name
21:52is O'Shea Jackson Jr.,
21:53his dad is obviously
21:55O'Shea Jackson.
21:56However,
21:56if that name
21:57doesn't sound familiar,
21:58that may be because
21:59you probably know
22:00the senior Jackson
22:00by his stage name,
22:02Ice Cube.
22:03In 2012,
22:04under the stage name OMG,
22:06O'Shea released
22:07a rap mixtape
22:08but is much more familiar
22:09to the public
22:10as an actor.
22:11Jr. has appeared
22:12in such films
22:12as Long Shot
22:13and Godzilla,
22:14King of the Monsters.
22:15What do those nerds
22:16think they're gonna do
22:17down there
22:17with a bunch of nukes?
22:18You ain't hear them, Griffin?
22:20They wanna bring Godzilla
22:21back from the dead.
22:22But his most talked
22:23about performance
22:24was his film debut
22:25where he played his dad
22:26in the movie
22:27Straight Outta Compton.
22:28Should've kept your word,
22:29Brian.
22:32It's Christ, man!
22:33Number 8.
22:34Lenny Kravitz
22:35I want you to look
22:36straight ahead
22:37as if the audience
22:37in this whole event
22:38are beneath you.
22:40That should be easy.
22:43Press this when you're ready.
22:44For those of you
22:45who only know
22:46Lenny Kravitz
22:46as an actor
22:47in the Hunger Games movies,
22:48you are missing out
22:49on one of the greatest
22:50musicians of the
22:511990s and 2000s.
22:52In fact,
22:53for four years straight
22:54from 1999 to 2002,
22:56Kravitz won the Grammy
22:57for Best Male Rock
22:58Vocal Performance.
22:59His dad,
23:00Si Kravitz,
23:01produced TV news
23:02at NBC
23:03and his mom
23:04was actress
23:04Roxy Roker.
23:06In 1974,
23:07when Lenny was
23:0810 years old,
23:09the family moved
23:09on up to L.A.
23:10where Roxy scored
23:11the role of Helen Willis
23:12on The Jeffersons.
23:14Roker played
23:14one half of the
23:15first Caucasian
23:16African-American
23:17married couple
23:18on primetime TV.
23:19You see, honey,
23:20we can't stop
23:21crazy thoughts
23:21from popping
23:22into our heads.
23:23Nobody can.
23:24What matters
23:25is not what
23:25passes across our minds.
23:27It's how we live
23:28our lives together.
23:30Baby,
23:30we've been doing
23:31that pretty good.
23:32Damn good.
23:33Number seven,
23:35Chris Pine.
23:35Chris is a huge
23:37Hollywood star
23:38whose name on the marquee
23:39is enough to bring
23:40an audience to any movie.
23:41That's okay.
23:43That's okay?
23:44Yeah, don't worry about it.
23:46Did he say
23:46don't worry about it?
23:47You may not know
23:48Chris's father
23:49by his name,
23:50but there's a very good chance
23:51you've seen him on television
23:52at least once or twice.
23:54You recognize her, Bruce?
23:55Yes, her name's Lindsay.
23:56She drew a picture
23:57for me today, Sarge.
23:59This is Lindsay's mom,
24:00Mrs. Vane.
24:01In fact, his dad,
24:02Robert Pine,
24:03has appeared in over
24:04400 episodes of television
24:06over the course
24:06of his almost 50 years
24:08in the business.
24:09His many roles
24:10are too numerous to name,
24:12but he's best known
24:13for his role
24:14as Sergeant Joseph Gattrere
24:15on the show Chips.
24:16He also guest starred
24:18on an episode
24:18of Charlie's Angels.
24:20Hello.
24:21Hello, Dr. Camelante.
24:22I see you two
24:23have already met, huh?
24:24Number 6.
24:25Miles Robbins.
24:26Who's this guy?
24:27Who are you?
24:28Dad, this is my date.
24:29Robbins' star
24:30is on the rise in Hollywood.
24:32In just the last few years,
24:33he's had roles
24:34in the movies Blockers,
24:36Halloween,
24:36and on the 11th season
24:38of The X-Files,
24:39where he played
24:39Scully and Mulder's
24:40teenage son.
24:41If I didn't exist...
24:42It's not your fault, William.
24:43Yes, it is.
24:44Then let me help you stop it.
24:46You can't.
24:47All right,
24:48because you died too.
24:49Robbins was born in 1992
24:50and got his first taste
24:52of life on a movie set
24:53only a few years later.
24:54In 1995,
24:56he played the role
24:56of boy in church
24:58in the thought-provoking film
24:59Dead Man Walking.
25:01While we don't know specifics
25:02about the audition process,
25:04we're going to assume
25:05there was some nepotism
25:06involved there.
25:06You see,
25:07his mom,
25:08Susan Sarandon,
25:08was the lead actress
25:09in the film.
25:10How tall is he?
25:14I don't know.
25:15I think he's...
25:15He's kind of big.
25:17What size is kind of big?
25:20Does it run like
25:21big, medium, and petite?
25:23And his dad,
25:23Tim Robbins,
25:24wrote and directed it.
25:26Number 5.
25:27Riley Keough
25:28Riley made her feature film
25:30debut in 2010
25:31in the film
25:32The Runaways.
25:33Well,
25:34if it isn't Mary,
25:35Mother of God...
25:38What?
25:39No disciples?
25:40No cameras?
25:41But her big break
25:42came in 2016
25:44when she starred
25:45in the first season
25:46of The Girlfriend Experience.
25:47The Hollywood Foreign Press Association
25:49couldn't help
25:50falling in love
25:51with her performance
25:51on the show
25:52and honored her
25:53with a Golden Globe nomination.
25:55Okay,
25:56I'll call you on Saturday
25:57and I'll explain everything.
25:58I just...
25:59I'm in a hurry.
26:00At this point,
26:01those of you
26:02with suspicious minds
26:03are probably very curious
26:04about who her famous parents are.
26:06Hell if I know.
26:07Well,
26:08we won't be cruel,
26:09we'll tell you.
26:10But you might be all shook up
26:11to know that her mom
26:12is Lisa Marie Presley.
26:14No,
26:14her dad isn't
26:15Lisa Marie's ex-husband,
26:16the King of Pop,
26:17but her grandfather
26:18is the King of Rock and Roll,
26:20Elvis.
26:21Number 4.
26:22Rashida Jones
26:23Jones starred in one
26:25of the best comedies
26:26of the 2000s,
26:27I Love You Man.
26:28You play an instrument?
26:29Yeah.
26:30I can't believe
26:30I've never told you.
26:31I play bass.
26:32Really?
26:33Oh, yeah.
26:33I slap the bass big time.
26:35What do you,
26:36what is that?
26:37You sound like a leprechaun.
26:38No,
26:39that's a reggae guy.
26:40I just did reggae.
26:41It doesn't sound...
26:42It doesn't sound reggae?
26:43No.
26:44It's leptibiss.
26:45She played the title character
26:46in the funny TNT series
26:47Angie Tribeca,
26:48and she starred with Andy Samberg
26:50in a great little independent film
26:52called Celeste and Jessie Forever.
26:53Oh, shit.
26:56Okay, well,
26:57I didn't know about that,
26:58but that's important right now.
27:01Okay.
27:01But let's face it,
27:02for most of us,
27:03she will either always be Karen
27:04from The Office
27:05or Anne from Parks and Recreation.
27:07Kiss one water fountain drinker,
27:09you're kissing everyone in Pawnee,
27:13including him.
27:14Unless, of course,
27:14you're a multi-Grammy award-winning composer,
27:17songwriter,
27:17and producer,
27:18Quincy Jones.
27:19Or you're the Mod Squad actress,
27:21Peggy Lipton.
27:21In that case,
27:23Rashida will always be,
27:24first and foremost,
27:25daughter.
27:26Number three,
27:28John David Washington.
27:29There are a couple of things
27:31that might surprise you about John,
27:32and the fact that his father
27:34is Denzel Washington
27:35is just one of them.
27:36King Kong ain't got shit on me!
27:39When he was seven,
27:40John had a small part
27:41in the film Malcolm X.
27:42Malcolm X is you.
27:44All of you.
27:45And you are Malcolm X.
27:48I'm Malcolm X!
27:49I'm Malcolm X!
27:51However,
27:51for the next 15 years,
27:53acting took a backseat to football.
27:55John was a running back
27:56at Morehouse College,
27:57was on the St. Louis Rams
27:59practice squad,
28:00and played professionally
28:01in Europe
28:01and in the United Football League
28:03until 2012.
28:04He got back into acting
28:06a few years later
28:06and has been running strong
28:08ever since,
28:09picking up a Golden Globe nomination
28:10for his performance
28:11in Black Klansman.
28:12You are just the kind of guy
28:13that we are looking for.
28:16Listen,
28:17when can you meet?
28:18How about Friday night
28:19after I get off work?
28:21That's the deal, buddy boy.
28:21We'll get right back to you
28:22with the details.
28:23Take care now.
28:24God bless white America.
28:26He also starred
28:27in one of the biggest films
28:28of 2020,
28:29Tenet.
28:30Well, I've seen too much.
28:31I'm still alive.
28:33Must have been
28:33who decided to trust me.
28:34Or maybe I lost my age.
28:36Number 2.
28:37Mariska Hargitay.
28:38Our dead guy,
28:39Victor Spicer,
28:40his license was suspended
28:41when he got 11 months
28:42for assault.
28:43For over two decades,
28:45Mariska Hargitay
28:46has been a staple
28:47of our weekly television viewing.
28:49Her role as Detective Olivia Benson
28:51on Law & Order SVU
28:52has earned her plenty of awards
28:54and made her a household name.
28:56You are a class act,
28:58Olivia Benson.
29:00Long may you run.
29:02And yet,
29:02because Hargitay
29:03was her also famous father
29:05Mickey's family name,
29:06so many people are unaware
29:08that her mother
29:08was Jane Mansfield.
29:10Mansfield was an actress
29:11and an iconic blonde bombshell
29:13of the 1950s and 60s
29:15who lost her life
29:16in a tragic car accident.
29:18A three-and-a-half-year-old Hargitay
29:19was asleep in the back
29:20and has a zigzag scar
29:22on the side of her head
29:23from the accident.

29:40Number 1.
29:41Dakota Johnson
29:42Dakota whipped her name
29:44onto the tip
29:45of all of our tongues
29:46with her starring role
29:47as Anastasia Steele
29:48in the Fifty Shades
29:49of Grey film series.
29:51It's just beyond this door.
29:53What is?
29:54My playroom.
29:56Like your Xbox and stuff?
29:58Her performance
29:59earned her a Rising Star Award
30:01from the British Academy
30:02of Film and Television Arts.
30:04As her career continues,
30:05she can definitely look
30:06to her parents
30:07for help navigating stardom.
30:09Heaven knows I'm
30:09no box of candy.
30:12But all things considered,
30:15I think we might have
30:16to consider some sort
30:18of temporary
30:21working relationship.
30:22Her dad,
30:23Don Johnson,
30:24became a huge star
30:25in the 80s
30:26with his role
30:27on Miami Vice.
30:28And her mom,
30:29Melanie Griffith,
30:30was a big movie star,
30:31getting an Oscar nomination
30:33for her performance
30:34in the film
30:34Working Girl.
30:35I mean,
30:36you can bend the rules
30:36plenty once you get upstairs,
30:38but not while you're
30:38trying to get there.
30:39And if you're someone like me,
30:40you can't get there
30:41without bending the rules.
30:42The talent in the family
30:43goes even further
30:44to Griffith's mother,
30:46Tippi Hedren,
30:47who impressed everyone
30:48with her work
30:49in Alfred Hitchcock's
30:50The Birds.
30:51Did we miss any surprising
30:52celebrity family connections?
