With a career spanning forty years, Anthony Perkins has enjoyed great success in acting. His son Oz seems to have also strolled down the acting path, inheriting a great talent from his father. Oz has secured a number of film roles ever since he played the role of his father’s 12-year-old character in Psycho II.
Get a child to play a younger version of his father and you’re guaranteed to have him walking in his footsteps as an adult. Following a stint in teen comedies, Oz transitioned completely to the genre which called to him: horror. A writer and director, once again we see that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Sophie Von Haselberg – Bette Midler
Sophie von Haselberg, daughter of the Emmy, Grammy, and Golden Globe-winning Bette Midler, realized the best way to dismiss the pressure was to avoid the industry altogether. But it seems you can’t fight your DNA, as is the case with Sophie, who is quoted as saying “I tried my hardest to avoid show business, I even moved to China and worked at an advertising agency.”
The Yale graduate, after trying her hand at a number of different roles, landed back at square one, in acting. Her mother, with a net worth of $250 million, is a legend in her own right, and we have hope that Sophie too can carve her career in Hollywood!
Stella Gregg – Jennifer Grey
Nobody puts Baby in the corner… and we’re sure the same applies to Jennifer Grey’s own baby, Stella Gregg. And yes, we know that Jennifer Grey will be forever immortalized as “Baby” in Dirty Dancing, a role which she played when she was just sixteen, but hey, that’s not all! Honestly, we loved her as Ferris Bueller’s somewhat frustrated older sister in the iconic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off!
So sure, we know the mom, but did you know her dad is Clark Gregg? Agent Coulson himself! Pretty cool to be honest. Anyway, Stella Gregg started her acting career early too, and has featured in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Trust Me, and more! Watch this space folks.
Olivia Jade Giannulli – Lori Loughlin
Making her big break via the hit TV series Full House alongside the Olsen twins as Rebecca Donaldson-Katsopolis, Lori Loughlin now has two gorgeous daughters of her own! But there was no stopping there for Lori, with roles more recently in When Calls The Heart and Fuller House. In 1997, she tied the knot with Mossimo Giannulli, having Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose.
Olivia has a successful YouTube channel posting beauty tips and makeup reviews, as well as over 1 million followers on Instagram. She is most definitely her mother’s daughter, with the same smile and facial features. Whether she goes into acting or modeling, she is sure to grow an impressive figure in her bank account. Let’s see what Olivia does with those dollars and those connections!
Benedict Cumberbatch – Wanda Ventham
Now, this leading lady is the mother of a son who is arguably even more famous than she is! The English actress Wanda Ventham is best known for her role as Colonel Virginia Lake in the 1970s sci-fi series UFO. In her heyday, she was (and still is) a mega-babe!
In 2014, People magazine even gave her a shout-out, featuring her in its “Most Beautiful People in the World” edition. And no wonder her son Benedict Cumberbatch is a famous actor – we know exactly where he got those gorgeous eyes from! Even better news for him is that he is not only handsome but extremely talented. We absolutely adored him as Doctor Strange in the Avengers franchise, as well as none other than the magnetic, charming Sherlock Holmes.
