Wrong on both accounts, Tony Curtis was brilliant and Debbie Reynolds probably did 10 times the movies as Carrie.

Hint: Jamie Lee Curtis's mom was an actress too.
She had a famous shower scene.

As far as Debbie Reynolds, yes she was famous in her time.  Not Star Wars famous though.  No one is dressing like her at Comic-con.

If Charlie sheen didn’t go crazy, I wonder how’s he would have would be rated just based on the movies he was in.

He had some stinkers but also some huge hits.

Red Dawn, Platoon, Major League, Young Guns is a pretty good resume plus his sitcom.

Bruce Dern is pretty darned iconic.

In fact, I can picture him in the majority of his roles.

I read a statistic that Emelio Estevez movies were the most profitable in Hollywood. He didn't make big blockbuster movies, but he'd spend 5 or 10 million on a movie, and the movie would bring in 15 to 20 million. Investors were almost guaranteed a nice return on their investment

Agreed. I believe it the best example posted so far. Lloyd was far from obscure like some of the parents mentioned and there's little argument to be made that Jeff didn't outshine him

I'd have to disagree with that.  Everyone knows their dad.  He was in Good Will Hunting, The Hunt for Red October, several of the Avengers/Thor movies and the Pirates of the Carribean franchise.  For the US, I'd argue you didn't even list his most famous son (Alexander).

I think Jeff Bridges is the only legit one mentioned... he's a legit star and his father was pretty famous too.. successful acting family like the Carradines..

no one else mentioned makes the grade IMO


Michael Douglas is a huge star in his own right, but I don't think there is a bigger Hollywood star than Kirk Douglas... we're talking John Wayne level superstardom... anything less and his boy would probably be there..

I had to look him up, as I couldn't associate the name.  I did instantly recognize him, and agree he's a great actor.  Loved his Moriarty character in the Sherlock Holmes film.  But dad was Dumbledore, Marcus Aurelius and English Bob.  The fact that I can tell you those without looking up anything means to me that the son isn't there yet.

I think Keith is the best actor in the family. Robert and David will deliver lines which feel like they're reading them from a prompter. Good actors, just not as natural as Keith.

I grew up during John's horror years, he just scares the hell out of me×
