Daughters of Hollywood: Famous daughters who are making their mark
Being famous, may by default, mean your offspring are automatically entered into the limelight from an early age. Actors such as Jude Law, Meryl Streep, Sly Stallone and Johnny Depp have found their precious little bundles have headed straight for Hollywood to take up their own place on the walk of fame.

REX FeaturesFrancesca Eastwood
Clint Eastwood stepped out on the red carpet to support his daughter Francesca at the premiere of her film, thriller M.F.A. One of seven of the actor/director's children, Francesca is a budding actress and has made cameos in Fargo, Jersey Boys and Twin Peaks.

Ella accompanied her dad, Ben Stiller, to the premiere of his new movie The Meyerowitz Stories. The 15-year-old teenager stepped in for red carpet duty, but could she be an aspiring actress herself? Only time will tell whether she caught the acting bug from her mum (Christine Taylor) and dad.
Rex FeaturesIris Apatow
Iris's mum and dad is Leslie Mann and Judd Apatow - massive heavyweights of Hollywood. Their daughter Iris, 14, has already been in some of her dad's movies like Knocked Up, Funny People, and This Is 40. She has also been seen in the Netflix seriesLove.
Getty ImagesEllie-Rae Winstone
Ellie-Rae is the 16-year-old daughter of Elaine and Ray Winstone. The teen is following the footsteps of her renowned father, by pursuing a career in acting. Ellie has already starred in 2009's Fathers of Girls and 2012's The Hot Potato. And although her father is known for his tough-guy roles, Ray is a big teddy bear around her: "In a way, having Ellie-Rae has made me take more care of myself ... I want to see her grow up and blossom".
Getty ImagesClara McGregor
Ewan McGregor's 21-year-old daughter Clara is rather stunning, don't you think? You're not the only one. The aspiring model has been signed to Wilhelmina models. We predict big things.
Iris Law
Jude Law and Sadie Frost's daughter Iris seems to be following in her mother's footsteps. The teen has just done her first photoshoot for Illustrated People magazine and she's definitely got some serious A-list appeal.
GettySophia, Sistine & Scarlet Stallone
Sylvester Stallone has three teenage daughters to keep him in check at home: Sophia, 20, Sistine, 18, and 14-year-old Scarlet. The girls' mum is the stunning Jennifer Flavin and it seems as if their middle daughter, Sistine, is following in mum's footsteps: she's already forging a career for herself in the modelling world.

Greg Wise and Emma Thompson’s daughter, 17-year-old Gaia Romilly Wise, often hits the red carpet to support her parents, but did you know she was an actor and a charity campaigner?
She's starred in A Walk in the Woods back in 2015 and Last Chance Harvey in 2008. But Gaia's main passion is campaigning for climate change, which she took up after travelling on a Greenpeace expedition to the Arctic Circle with her mother back in 2014.
GettyLily Mo Sheen
Lily boasts not one but two celebrity parents: her mum is Kate Beckinsale and her dad is Masters Of Sex star Michael Sheen. Lily's step-dad is Underworld director Len Wiseman and he gave her a "wedding ring" when he married her actress-mum.
Getty ImagesLily Costner
Lily, who is the second of Kevin Costner’s seven children, has dappled with Hollywood. She starred in the 1995 flick The Babysitters Club, when she was nine years old, and worked with her dad on The Postman. Music is more Lily’s passion and she has performed with her father and his band, Modern West, as well as collaborating with rock band The Alternate Routes. "She can be a really huge star if that's what she wanted,” said Kevin. “I'm not sure she wants that. She's really gifted. Lily's way is not to knock doors down. I think she wants a quality of life. She's seen the quality of life that we've had and sometimes the idea of stardom, I think, is a mystery to her. She's content with performing. She's not a person who is trying to angle how to go faster and go higher and go larger. It's just not how she's built. She has an amazing talent. Does she want to give it to the world? I don't know."
Getty ImagesLorraine Nicholson
It really does help if you’ve got a dad in the business – especially if that dad is Jack Nicholson. His daughter Lorraine is an aspiring actress and says her Oscar winning father has given her some tips on how to break into showbusiness. “He gives me top secret advice,” Lorraine revealed. “Obviously I'm not going to share it with anyone, because it gives our family a competitive advantage.” The pair are rarely seen out in public together but remain close. “We eat breakfast together every morning... fried eggs and bacon,” Lorraine said.
Getty ImagesRainey Qualley
Andie MacDowell’s daughter Rainey Qualley has dipped her toe into the world of acting; she had a bit part in an episode of Mad Men and appeared in a few indie films, but it’s country music that she really loves. Her debut single, Turn Me On Like The Radio has been well received in Nashville circles and she’s been touted as One To Watch. Taylor Swift beware!
Getty ImagesFrancesca Eastwood
Reality TV fanatics might recognise Francesca from Mrs Eastwood & Company, the series about Clint Eastwood’s ex and his daughters. But she’s also a model and famously caused a controversy after she was filmed destroying a $100,000 Hermes Birkin bag during a photo-shoot. She hit back at the criticism, saying: “People spend 200k on an album cover, they spend millions on catering for movies, they spend money to create things -that is all I am doing with this." Another interesting fact about the 23-year-old – she used to be married to Jonah Hill’s brother, Jordan Feldstein.
Getty ImagesCorinne Bishop
There aren’t many people who can say they went to the Oscars while still in fifth grade but Corinne Bishop is one of them. The 20-something daughter of Jamie Foxx (his real name is Eric Bishop) doesn’t crave the limelight: “I never like attention. I feel uncomfortable with it and always have.” Corinne is currently still at university, where she’s studying public relations and cinematic studies but apparently she hasn’t ruled out acting and would love to land a TV role.
Rex FeaturesMaya Thurman-Hawke
She’s only 16 but the daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke is already making her mark. She’s been dressed by Zac Posen for the 2015 CFDAs and attended a number of fashion shows with her parents. It’s not clear whether she’ll follow her mum and dad into film or carve out a career for herself in fashion but, whichever, she’s a natural in front of the camera.
Getty ImagesMamie Gummer
Mamie Gummer’s name might not be instantly recognisable but look at her face and it doesn’t take long to guess the famous mum. The daughter of Meryl Streep and the American sculptor Don Gummer appeared opposite Jennifer Aniston in Cake and was a barista in a scene that was eventually deleted from her mum’s film The Devil Wears Prada. But it's Mamie's TV work that's made her name - she's fronted her own show, Emily Owens M.D. and, more recently, appeared in The Good Wife.
Ava Philippe/nstagramAva Phillippe
Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon’s mini-me Ava Phillippe might prefer to shun the Hollywood limelight but she loves a bit of Instagram. She’s already racked up an impressive 298,000 followers with her cat doodles, multi-coloured hair and the occasional snap of her famous family.
Getty ImagesKatherine Schwarzenegger
Katherine is the daughter of Arnold “I’ll Be Back” Schwarzenegger but decided to follow her mother Maria Shriver into writing. Now in her mid-twenties, Katherine used her teenage body issues as the inspiration behind her book Rock What You've Got: Secrets to Loving Your Inner and Outer Beauty from Someone Who's Been There and Back, which encourages women to have a positive self-image and increase their confidence via mental and physical exercises.
Rex FeaturesBria Murphy
As well as being a model, Eddie Murphy’s daughter Bria is continuing in her funny-man father’s footsteps, appearing in the comedy Drive, She Said with Jason Biggs and Ashley Tisdale. As you’d sort-of expect, the 27-year-old didn’t have your average childhood: Chris Brown performed at her Sweet 16 and she was home-schooled till she was nine.
Getty ImagesSosie Bacon
Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick didn’t want daughter Sosie to go into show-business but that doesn’t seem to have stopped her catching the acting bug. Sosie appeared in the movie Loverboy as a 10-year-old and went on to star in her mum’s TV show The Closer. After attending Brown University, she sang in a musical on Broadway and is currently filming indie movie, Off Season.
Getty ImagesDakota Johnson
She might be more famous now for playing Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades Of Grey series but, once upon a time, Dakota Johnson was known more for her famous parents: Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith. Their very public romance was regularly featured in the tabloids, and saw them marry and divorce each other twice.
Rex FeaturesLily Rose Depp
When your dad’s Johnny Depp and your mum’s Vanessa Paradis, you’re pretty much sorted when it comes to the cool factor. Lily Rose had a taste of the spotlight early doors and accompanied Vanessa Paradis on her album, Bliss when she was just one. She’s already done a photo-shoot for Australia’s Oyster magazine and appeared in bit parts on a number of films so for Lily Rose, it’s just a case of deciding which path she wants to go down.
Getty ImagesDominik Garcia-Lorido
Dominik is the daughter of Andy Garcia and Marivi Lorido Garcia and is well on her way to emulating her father’s success. She has straddled the film and TV world with roles in The Lost City, City Island and Magic City. Dominik also loves to dance and has been performing since she was three.
Getty ImagesGreer Grammer
Who would have guessed Dr Fraser Crane would have such a stunning daughter?! It was obvious early doors that Greer, whose dad is famously Kelsey Grammer, was going to go into acting: she loved theatre and was regularly in plays from the age of five. Greer is a former beauty queen and Miss Golden Globe (an award given out to the daughters of Hollywood stars), and is nowadays best known for her role as Lissa Miller in MTV’s Awkward.
Rex FeaturesLiv Helen Freundlich
Julianne Moore says her 15-year-old daughter Liv regularly helps her dress for the red carpet. "She always has an opinion," Julianne revealed. "She liked this. She saw me before I left. She's like, 'I like that mama, yeah!'" Fashion certainly seems to be Liv’s thang: she’s already appeared with her famous mum in Vogue and sat front row at New York Fashion Week.
Getty ImagesEmma Roberts
Just about everyone knows that Emma Roberts is the niece of Julia Roberts but did you know she has a film-actor father too? Eric Roberts had a career which originally eclipsed that of his famous sister and was Oscar and Golden-Globe nominated after starring in over 270 films. That said, he acknowledges he’s now better known for his family: “I am more famous for being brother to a very famous sister and father to a very famous daughter.”
Rex FeaturesPiper Maru Klotz
Piper Maru Klotz is Gillian Anderson’s daughter with Clyde Klotz, the X-Files' assistant art director, and there was even a 1996 episode of the show named “Piper Maru” to celebrate her birth. Don’t expect to see Piper’s acting skills anytime soon. "She just did her first play and hated it," Gillian revealed. "I'm relieved; it's not an easy road to choose."
Getty ImagesEva Amurri
Don’t recognise who Eva’s famous parent is? Just look at her eyes. Her mum is Susan Sarandon but she owes her Mediterranean looks to her Italian director father Franco Amurri. Eva guest-starred with her mother in Friends (where she got slapped by the Oscar winner) and has had roles in Californication, House, The Mindy Project and New Girl.
Getty ImagesSydney Poitier
No prizes for guessing that Sydney is the daughter of the legendary film actor Sidney Poitier. She’s inherited her father’s acting talents but sticks to the TV screen with roles in Veronica Mars, Knight Rider and Grindhouse. It seems the actor wasn’t a complete walk-over when it came to his daughter either: "He was pretty strict," Sydney says.
Getty ImagesElettra Rossellini
The daughter of Isabella Rossellini (and grand-daughter of Ingrid Bergman) loves food and fashion. As a model, she’s graced the pages of Vogue, GQ and been photographed by the likes of Mario Testino, Karl Lagerfeld, Patrick Demarchelier and Annie Leibovitz. As a foodie, she’s the Executive Food Editor of Refinery 29, a brand ambassador for Moet & Chandon, and was asked to create the recipe for the champagne cocktails served at the Golden Globes.
Getty ImagesIreland Baldwin
After her parents’ acrimonious divorce, Ireland Baldwin has had a somewhat strained relationship with her father over the years but the pair have now mended their differences. The model even defended him in an open letter to the press, saying: “My Dad has moved on. He recognised that he needed to change, so he made changes. He is now healthy, happily married with a baby on the way. He moved on, so why can’t you?... I don’t want to forever be known as ‘that rude thoughtless little pig’”.
Getty ImagesZoe Kravitz
Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet’s daughter has now become a famous name in her own right. Zoe Kravitz has bagged roles in X-Men: First Class, The Divergent Series and Mad Max, and dated the likes of Michael Fassbender and Penn Badgley. Talking about her famous parents, Zoe revealed that she actually had quite a normal upbringing: “My dad was brought up very old school, very strict – ‘Yes ma'am, yes sir.’ So he's wearing leather pants and a boa, but he would be like, ‘Did you do your chores today?’ Or ‘That dress is too short!’ Seriously, no joke….I had chores, I had an allowance – ‘Yes there's a party going on with Mick Jagger and some models but it's your bedtime.’”
Getty ImagesWillow Smith
Being in show-business seems to be part of the course if you’re a member of the Smith family. Willow has certainly done her bit, launching her music career at the age of 10 with Whip My Hair, and becoming the youngest artist ever to be signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation. Oh, and she can act too with roles in Will Smith’s I Am Legend and Jada Pinkett’s Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.
Getty ImagesAtlanta de Cadenet Taylor
You need proper pedigree to be on the cover of Tatler, and model/DJ/blogger Atlanta De Cadenet has it by the bucket-load. The daughter of Duran Duran bassist John Taylor and wild child Amanda de Cadenet, Atlanta actually had a very strict upbringing. “I wasn’t allowed to dye my hair or pierce my ears till I was 14 — most people were doing that at 12,” she says.
Getty ImagesRumer Willis
Rumer Willis was destined to grow up on camera: her mother Demi Moore famously hired a cameraman to videotape her first child being born. But the oldest daughter of Bruce Willis has many other accolades to her (very famous) name: she appeared in Pretty Little Liars, won Dancing With The Stars and has been a Miss Golden Globe.
