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. Flynn, who played many heroic, swashbuckling roles during the 1930s and 1940s, passed away virtually bankrupt at only 50 years old. However, Errol Flynn is kept alive in his replica grandson Sean.
The younger Flynn has made appearances in the series Zoey 101 on Nickelodeon alongside Jamie Lynn, the sister of Britney Spears.
