Inheritance can be quite tricky. Time and time again, families somehow get torn apart over how financial assets and material will be transferred from generation to generation. However, in spite of this, there is usually one family asset which tends to strengthen family ties. That asset is none other than an intergenerational resemblance. A slew of charismatic and attractive individuals have passed on their looks as well as their other intangible qualities to their kids and grandchildren. At times, the generations that come after and their ancestors look very much alike that the former have the same success as the latter. Let’s look at some of the major figures in film, music, politics, and sports that have grandchildren who share a striking resemblance with them. A word of caution: some of the resemblance are just downright eerie! For these famous grandchildren, they certainly won the genetic jackpot. While some undeniably inherited their grandparents’ striking looks, others inherited their unquestionable talents. For a few of these grandkids, they even inherited their grandparent’s timeless style and star-qualities. This is perhaps while some of them grew up to be stars themselves….
In fact, when we delved further into the lives of these grandchildren, we discovered that quite a few of them actually followed in the footsteps of their star-studded ancestors. A few of them joined the ranks of showbiz royalty to become celebs in their own right. Some of them are already household names in the entertainment industry, and we were surprised to discover that they descended from a famous showbiz dynasty. We also began to detect a distinct pattern with these families. A great deal of these grandchildren followed the exact same career path of their famous grandparents’. These celebrity grandchildren went on to become successful in the world of politics, music, sport or the entertainment industry. In truth, we were fascinated to learn more about these genetic lottery winners and discover just who their famous grandparents were. Quite a few of these starry grandchildren also grew up to be the mirror image of their famous ancestors. We even had to double-take a lot of these photos, as some of them looked exactly like their doppelgängers. Others even managed to surprise us, until we took a closer look and realized that the resemblance was uncanny. So let’s take a closer look at some of these genetic pool winners and delve a little deeper into their fascinating lives…
Quinn tivey – Elizabeth Taylor’s Grandson
Elizabeth Taylor, one of the 20th century’s quintessential film stars, was well-known for her incredible violet eyes and a genetic mutation that was quite flattering (it gave her two rows of eyelashes!).
The movie star, who tied the knot seven times, passed on the timeless good looks she had to grandson Quinn Tivey. His mother is Liza Todd, Taylor’s only child. The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation has Tivey as its trustee.
Steven R. Mcqueen – Steve McQueen’s Grandson

Gwynne had the same hooded eyes and full lips as her grandson. She died after she had a stroke at 84 years old in 2003.
Apple Martin – Blythe Danner’s Granddaughter
It is clear that actress Blythe Danner has rather strong genes. The celebrated star of Meet the Parents and The Great Santini does not only look a lot like her well-known daughter Gwyneth Paltrow, but her granddaughter Apple Martin also inherited her grandmother’s blonde locks and doe-eyed beauty.
Although Danner had her 75th birthday in 2018, she doesn’t show any sign of retiring soon. She appeared in four films that same year. She also reprised her role on the Will and Grace reboot as Will’s mom.
Ethan Peck – Gregory Peck’s Grandson
Doppelgänger alert: actor Ethan Peck is the spitting image of his granddad Hollywood legend Gregory Peck. The elder actor has been featured in classics such as Roman Holiday and To Kill a Mockingbird.
Also, he was supported charities and other progressive social causes all his life. Born in 1986, the younger Peck starred on the TV adaption of 10 Things I Hate About You. He also appeared in Passport to Paris alongside the Olsen Twins.
Rose Kennedy Schlossberg – Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s Granddaughter
Jackie Kennedy was originally Jacqueline Bouvier when she was born in 1929. She got hitched to Massachusetts Congressman John F. Kennedy, thus the name change. The period of the American presidency when she was First Lady was represented by distinct style and charisma.
Rose Kennedy Schlossberg, Jackie Kennedy’s granddaughter, got more than just the enviable Kennedy wealth as well as name; she also inherited the iconic beauty of her grandmother.
Stella Banderas – Tippi hedren’s Granddaughter
Stella Banderas’s parents are stars Antonio and Banderas Melanie Griffith. Her grandmother is Tippi Hedren, the star of Alfred Hitchcock’s films Marnie and The Birds . Stella got some of her parents’ attractive features, but she clearly inherited Hedren’s eyes and nose.

Viva Vadim – Jane Fonda’s Granddaughter
Actress Jane Fonda doesn’t look like she is 80 years old because of top-notch plastic surgery.

Theodore Howard Gabel – Ron Howard’s Grandson
Fans of a specific generation can only recall actor and director Ron Howard during his early days playing the character Opie on The Andy Griffith Show. It’s possible some of them notice that Howard’s grandson Theo has Opie’s features (particularly his prominent ears).
Theo is Ron’s daughter Bryce Dallas Howard’s first born. After she gave birth to Theo, Bryce experienced severe post-partum depression.
Oliver Elfman – Peter Fonda’s Grandson
Jane isn’t the sole Fonda who has a mini-me grandchild. Actor Peter Fonda, her brother, also has passed on his wide and toothy (not so) perfect smile as well as his eyes to grandson Oliver.
Peter’s daughter Bridget Fonda, who starred in Single White Female, is Oliver’s mother and film composer Danny Elfman is Oliver’s father. Elfman and director Tim Burton have collaborated together on the musical score of many films such as The Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands.
Dree Hemingway – Ernest Hemingway’s Granddaughter
Ernest Hemingway had numerous accomplishments and being a Nobel Prize winner is actually not the biggest. The writer of ‘The Old Man and the Sea’ gave his genetic inheritance (although we’re not sure if he also passed on his writing talent) to Dree Hemingway, his great-granddaughter.
Dree’s impact in literature may not be the same as that of her granddad, but she has taken runways around the world by storm, doing some work for huge brands such as Calvin Klein and Givenchy. She has even dipped her toes into acting.

Drew Barrymore – John Barrymore’s Granddaughter
Veteran actress Drew Barrymore has been famous ever since the time she learned how to talk. She belongs to the Barrymore acting dynasty and has become its last surviving member. Her Barrymore heritage can be clearly seen in her resemblance to her actor grandfather John, who had starring roles in a slew of films in the 1920s and 1930s.
Unfortunately, she also had the Barrymore propensity towards substance abuse. Her granddad John and her dad, John Jr., passed away due to complications associated with alcoholism whereas Drew herself completed rehab for alcohol and drugs at just 14 years old.

Anjelica Huston is memorable for her roles in films such as The Grifters and The Addams Family. Her father is director John Huston and her grandfather is Walter Huston, an Academy Award winning actor from Canada in the 1930s and 1940s.

Arthur Donald – Paul McCartney’s Grandson
If you feel like you’ve seen Yale undergrad Arthur Donald before, one look at an old picture of his granddad should clear things out for you. Donald is Sir Paul McCartney’s eldest grandchild through the former Beatle’s daughter Mary.
Judging by Sir Paul’s monstrous net worth (estimated to be at $1.1 billion in the year 2018), Arthur doesn’t seem like the kind who will have any problems paying the steep tuition at Yale.
Alia Shawkat – Paul Burke’s Granddaughter
Alia Shawkat is well-known for portraying the character Maeby Fünke on the sitcom Arrested Development, but not so many people know that she is the granddaughter of Paul Burke, the award-winning actor.

Bridget Fonda – Henry Fonda’s Granddaughter
Actress Bridget Fonda is another member of the family who has joined in the Fonda family gene pool which is quite formidable. Bridget Fonda has received nominations for an Emmy as well as two Golden Globes.

Zoe Kazan – Elia Kazan’s Granddaughter
Star of the 2017 film The Big Sick Zoe Kazan belongs to a well-established family in Hollywood. Her dad is screenwriter Nicholas Kazan whereas her granddad was Elia Kazan, a noted director. Her grandpa definitely passed on his eyes and nose to Zoe, but hopefully, she doesn’t develop a bad reputation like he did when he was in the industry.
Controversially, Elia testified against a lot of his colleagues back in the 1950s in the anti-communist witchhunts conducted by Senator Joseph McCarthy. The ensuing criticism lasted until after he retired and picketers protested the Lifetime Achievement Award he was given at the Academy Awards in 1999.
Sean Flynn – Errol Flynn’s Grandson
These days, Errol Flynn isn’t really a household name, but he was actually one of his day’s most famous actors.

She has appeared in American Horror Story: Cult and the series Scream Queen by Ryan Murphy.

The actress Sarah Sutherland, who portrays anxiety-ridden character of First Daughter Catherine Meyer on Veep, actually belongs to a family of noted actors.

Tuki Brando – Marlon Brando’s Grandson
Although Tuki Brando is the grandson of the legendary Marlon Brando, Tuki’s journey to Hollywood stardom wasn’t actually fast-tracked. His mother, Cheyenne Brando, made headlines first before Tuki did when she died at just 25 years old due to suicide.
Already an orphan at the age of five, Tuki Brando was dealt another hard blow when his granddad and late actor Marlon Brando chose to leave out Tuki in his will and decided to leave friends an inheritance instead. Well, at present, Tuki is carving his own path, modeling and collaborating with top brands such as Versace.

Princess Charlotte – Princess Diana’s Granddaughter
In the photo, it can be seen that Princess Charlotte bears an uncanny resemblance to Princess Diana (funnily enough, their hairstyles even look similar). Princess Charlotte’s mother is Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince William.
It is clear that Princess Di’s genes are present in young Charlotte, and if the little princess grows up with a heart that is half as kind and generous as her grandma Diana’s, Princess Charlotte will most definitely win hearts all over the globe!

Then, Pablo quit. Deeply considering everything, he eventually shifted gears and went into folk rock – drawing comparisons with his grandfather. It’s in your DNA, Pablo!

Talya Lynn – Loretta Lynn’s Granddaughter
Raised in Tennessee, Tayla Lynn started singing alongside her grandmother Loretta Lynn at a rather young age. Loretta’s guitarist was Tayla’s father, Ernie, so it’s not difficult to imagine that music always filled their home!

In 2016, Tayla got signed under London Tone Music, but to refinance herself, Tayla also started to do some work on TV and in film. She is married and a mother to two boys.
Princes William And Harry – Queen Elizabeth’s Grandsons

However, now that the prince has found someone, the world seems to share his happiness. As for Prince William, he’s the Duke of Cambridge and second in line among the heirs to the throne. Details about the princes’ inheritance, however, are not readily available.
Sophie Dahl – Roald Dahl’s Granddaughter
Roald Dahl was renowned for telling his amazing stories. Sophie Dahl, his granddaughter, is a steaming hot model. In spite of being a shapely size 14 (with a 38DD chest!), she continues to make her mark in the industry, which usually has models who are below size 10.
One of the challenges she faces is finding clothes for the shoots she does because the clothes are usually designed for the typical ‘skinny’ body. As a side note, in Roald Dahl’s BFG, the character ‘Sophie’ was actually inspired by his granddaughter Sophie.
Alyson Le Borges – Alain Delon’s Granddaughter
