The beauty that is Jane Fonda has had a very successful career consisting of acting, writing, producing, and modeling. After a few decades of very prosperous acting, she released her first workout video called “Jane Fonda’s Workout,” and it became the highest-selling VHS of all time. She released another 22 workout videos that sold over 17 million copies.
Fonda’s youthful appearance really brings out the similarities between her and her granddaughter, Viva Vadim. Viva, like her grandmother, is stunning. She was born in 2002 to Vanessa Vadim, Jane’s daughter, and her husband, Paul Waggoner. Maybe Viva will follow in her grandmother’s footsteps and become an actress as well!
Anjelica Huston: Granddaughter of Walter Huston
The Hustons are considered royalty in the show business world, with three generations of family members winning an Academy Award. Both Anjelica, her father, John, and John’s father, Walter, have won the award. In fact, John and Walter won an award at the same ceremony! Anjelica has acted in "The Grifters and Enemies: A Love Story", "The Addams Family", and many more.
Clearly, Walter has passed down his acting genes to his successors. But he’s also passed down some physical traits as well. Despite being of opposite genders and two generations apart, it’s clear that Walter has passed on his high cheekbones to his granddaughter.
Jason Ritter: Grandson of Tex Ritter
Jason Ritter’s breakout role was in the films "Joan of Arcadia" and "Parenthood." Jason definitely looks like his father and his country music-singing grandfather, Tex Ritter. Tex Ritter was born in 1905 in Texas. Although he went to Law school, he later decided that a career in show business was his calling.
He started off as a singer and later switched to acting in Western films during the 30s. He had two children, Tom and John. After finding out that Tom had Cerebral Palsy, he started a nonprofit organization called United Cerebral Palsy. Jason seems to have acquired his grandfather’s big smile and distinctive nose.
Steve R. McQueen: Grandson of Steve McQueen
Steve McQueen was born in Indiana in 1930, and he rose to fame after appearing on the NBC western series, "Tales of Wells Fargo." Nicknamed “The King of Cool”, he became a huge movie star in the 1960s and 1970s, acting in "The Sand Pebbles", "The Great Escape', 'The Getaway', and "The Magnificent Seven". Sadly, McQueen died young, at the age of 50, in Mexico.
His death was said to have been caused by mesothelioma after he was exposed to asbestos on movie sets. Fortunately for his legacy, he has two grandchildren. You could say that his grandson, Steve R. McQueen, has some pretty big shoes to fill if he ever plans on becoming an actor, especially with a name like that.
Benjamin Keough: Grandson of Elvis Presley
The king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley, had one daughter, Lisa Presley. Lisa’s son, Benjamin Keough, looked exactly like Elvis. Unsurprisingly, Benjamin was also in the music business. When your grandfather was one of the most famous musicians to ever live, it wasn’t hard to enter the business.
You can be sure that he inherited not only some of his grandfather’s wealth but also his talent. Keogh’s mother, Lisa, used to get really emotional when she looked at her son because of how much he looked like her father. Sadly, Benjamin died in 2020 at the age of 27.
