My wife asked me that question and I'm wracking my brain trying to think of one. Henry Fonda? No, his kids didn't even come close to what their father accomplished, especially that dirtbag Jane Fonda. Martin Sheen? Nope, Charlie turned out to be another dirtbag.

Maybe Michael Douglas, son of Kirk Douglas, and Angelina Jolie, daughter of Jon Voight. But for the most part, the sons and daughters of famous actors and actresses never approach the magnificent of their parents, for some reason.

I find it odd that no one has mentioned Alan Hale jr yet.

Not sure that he actually outshined his father, but he did rank as an equal, in my opinion.

There's a household name.

Google "Alan" and he's not even in the top 25.

Hayley Mills was more successful than her mother but was probably outshined by her father's acting career.

Ron Howard's daughter outshines him as an actor. Opinions on Goldie Hawn's daughter would likely divide along age lines.

Charlie Sheen
Keifer Sutherland

But its a different era, with all the social media and crap it's easier to be in the spotlight.

Jared Harris. One of the finest actors today, and better than his father, Richard Harris, who was no slouch.
