The most well-known daughters of some Hollywood's biggest stars.

There is no difference between show business and other industries. Getting into the family business is a popular choice for many people. Children of actors often follow their parents into the world of entertainment. It is possible for others to find fame in a slightly different way but still find success.

The entry of children with two acting parents is made easier by combining them into one entry. A few kids who found fame and success in different mediums were also included, as they were mostly the progeny of noted actors. We are focusing exclusively on daughters. There might be another time we can give our sons a chance to soak up the sun.

Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson

Dakota Johnson from the "Fifty Shades of Gray" movies, who you might remember from the book or movies. There is a complicated history behind Griffith's and Johnson's relationship, so we will not discuss it here. The movies that made their daughter famous are about their complicated relationship. Griffith is worth mentioning.

Tippi Hedren

It may surprise you that Griffith's mom is Hedren, whose name you may recognize from several Alfred Hitchcock movies. There is a long history of female actors in her family as well. The Birds is her most famous role, in which she is ironically attacked by birds even though she is an animal lover.

Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis

In his era, Curtis was among the biggest stars. Among the most iconic scenes in the film, history features Leigh as Hitchcock. Here's a scene from Psycho that we'll never forget. The two worked together to bring us Jamie Lee Curtis, another horror movie legend. She was never stabbed in the shower by Michael Myers.

Demi Moore and Bruce Willis

"Ghost" was a famous movie in which Moore romanced a ghost. "The Sixth Sense" featured Willis as a ghost. Unfortunately, they were unable to make it last. Rumer Willis, the couple's youngest child, was born together. The actress has also appeared in "The Masked Singer" and "Dancing with the Stars."

Lea Thompson

The star of Zoey Deutch is rising. She will soon become quite famous, so we need to keep our eyes on her. The movie "Zombieland: Double Tap" and the TV show "The Politician" may have caught your attention in recent months. You've probably seen her mom despite her role in one of the biggest films. Here is Howard the Duck. You might also recognize her from "Back to the Future."

Lisa Bonet

As well as Lenny Kravitz, we'll give him a shoutout here, even though he isn't an actor. Zoe Kravitz, an aspiring actress, is Bonet's daughter. "High Fidelity" was made famous by John Cusack, and she played a role in the Hulu adaptation. What movie did Cusack star in with who he romanced? A strange circle has been completed.

Goldie Hawn

There are several iconic performances by Goldie Hawn, including an Oscar. A pretty good start for someone who began playing ditzy characters on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. In addition to having a famous son, Wyatt Russell, Goldie Hawn also had a daughter with another man before she met Kurt Russell. In the romantic comedy genre, Kate Hudson was once the queen of the genre. Russell is something she shares with Star-Lord since she considers him to be her de facto father.

Meryl Streep

You may be unaware since they use Streep's husband's last name, Don Gummer. You may be unaware since they use Streep's husband's last name, Don Gummer. She has won so many Oscars and been nominated for so many more, so it's only fitting that she has two daughters who are actors.

Peggy Lipton

The '70s were quite cool when it came to Lipton and Quincy Jones. Her role on "The Mod Squad" is perhaps best remembered. In the world of TV comedy, her daughter has achieved great success. Rashida Jones' many credits are her roles in Parks and Recreation and Angie Tribeca, which have received serious underachievement.

Debbie Reynolds

When Reynolds was alive, she was incredibly famous. "Singin' in the Rain" was her breakout film. She ended up being overshadowed by her daughter. Carrie Fisher, aka Princess Leia, is a perfect example of what happens when your daughter is so famous. Her legacy will endure even though she passed away before her time. A new acting career has been begun by her daughter, Billie Lourd.

Ron Howard

He has had an impressive career, including roles in Opie and Richie and earning an Oscar for directing. The fact that he's a fan of Arrested Development is all we want to say. As one of the most famous redheads, his daughter's name is Bryce Dallas Howard. Several M Night Shyamalan movies have featured her and the blockbuster "Jurassic World" movie.

Chris Elliott

The bizarre TV show Get a Life, and Elliott's appearances on various David Letterman shows have made him a cult figure. The most famous episode of his career is probably Schitt's Creek, which won him an Emmy. In addition to him, he has two daughters who are also in show business. During her time on Saturday Night Live, Abby was a cast member. Acting and directing have both been part of Bridey's repertoire. Get a Life's Spewey the Alien does something weird like no one else.

Susan Sarandon

Sarandon's filmography doesn't need to be discussed. Her legacy is legendary, and she is an Oscar winner. There is quite a resemblance between her daughter, Eva Amurri, and her mother. That's My Boy, where they play the same character at different ages. It is that way in Adam Sandler's lousy comedy. While Amurri has announced she will be retiring from acting, Sarandon continues to work.

Stephen Baldwin

As for Baldwin's filmography, we will not review it either, as we do not want to ruin your day with terrible movies to remember. Although Hailey is not necessarily a famous actress, she is famous nonetheless. Her hosting experience includes Drop the Mic. Furthermore, Justin Bieber is her husband, and you may be familiar with her.

Phoebe Cates and Kevin Kline

We think Cates has a better career due to her roles in both Gremlin movies, so that Kline may have the Oscar, but Cates made it to both. As the frontwoman of Frankie Cosmos, you may recognize her as a fantastic musician. In addition to Greta Kline, they have several kids together.

Andie MacDowell

Acting began during MacDowell's modeling career. As the love interest in Groundhog Day, she has probably become the most well-known actress. The fact that her daughter has also become an actress makes it feel like déjà vu. There was a notable turn by Margaret Qualley in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" as one of the Manson girls.

Jon Voight

There's no point in making a big announcement on the well-worn territory. She is the daughter of actor Jon Voight. There is no doubt about it. His Oscar makes him famous. An Oscar has been awarded to her, and she is famous. There is something odd about both of them in their way. Anaconda was made by one of them. The one who still stands out is Angelina Jolie.

Rob Schneider

In Schneider's career, having a famous daughter is one of the few things that hasn't involved Adam Sandler, though being friends with the Sandman has been quite rewarding. The song Ex's and Oh's was written by his daughter, the musician Elle King. There's no make-a-copies joke about Schneider's daughter since she is not an exact copy of him.

Eric Roberts

The work that Roberts does seems to be his passion. There are rumored to be over 500 credits on his resume, including critically acclaimed films and movies made seemingly on a shoestring budget. It may be no surprise that you are familiar with Julia Roberts, his sister, and Emma Roberts, mostly known for MTV's American Horror Story and Scream Queens. Her love is known to Ryan Murphy.

Kevin Smith

In most of Smith's movies, Harley Quinn Smith has played a role based on the comic book character. Despite being best known as "Silent Bob," Smith rarely speaks in his acting roles and is also a successful director. The fact that her father keeps giving her roles is most likely what made her career a success. It's only her 21st birthday. She still has plenty of time to chart her course.

John Aniston

There is no doubt that Aniston is known to soap opera fans. During his time as Victor Kiriakis on "Days of our Lives," he has appeared in 2,384 episodes. There is no typo in that sentence. It might be easier to recognize his daughter, however. Is Jennifer Aniston familiar to you? Her haircut in the 1990s may even be familiar to you.

Sting and Trudie Styler

Even though Sting is known primarily as a musician, he has acted in the movie Dune. He also has a wife, Styler, who is an actress and producer. A daughter named Mickey Sumner, who appeared in "Frances Ha" and "Marrying Story" with her parents, was born to them.

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick

Sosie Bacon is just getting started, so she isn't quite at the same level as her parents. There is a game named after Bacon because he is such a prolific actor. In addition to starring in The Closer, Sedgwick has an array of acting credits. In addition to her role in "13 Reasons Why", she has also appeared on Here and Now.

Lindsay Crouse

There is a good chance that Crouse will be nominated for an EGOT. Oscar, Grammy, and Emmy nominations have been made for her. Her relationship with David Mamet lasted for a while. A girl from HBO's Girls, Zosia Mamet, was one of the girls they had during that time.

John Drew Barrymore

A famous family's lineage is sometimes carried on through Barrymore. It's no secret that his father, John Barrymore, was a legendary actor in his day. Ethel and Lionel Barrymore, the eldest brother and sister of John Barrymore, were also famous siblings. As the First Lady of American Theater, Lionel won an Oscar, and Ethel was known as the First Lady of American Drama.

Drew Barrymore is a famous actress and John Drew's daughter, you know her. Though John Drew played several roles on TV and in small roles, his acting career was largely limited to guest appearances. His drug and alcohol problems led him to be suspended for six months by the SAG after refusing to appear in a "Star Trek" role. His life fell apart after that, and he barely worked again.
