Sophie von Haselberg, daughter of the Emmy, Grammy, and Golden Globe-winning Bette Midler, realized the best way to dismiss the pressure was to avoid the industry altogether. But it seems you can’t fight your DNA, as is the case with Sophie, who is quoted as saying “I tried my hardest to avoid show business, I even moved to China and worked at an advertising agency.”
The Yale graduate, after trying her hand at a number of different roles, landed back at square one, in acting. Her mother, with a net worth of $250 million, is a legend in her own right, and we have hope that Sophie too can carve her career in Hollywood!
Louisa Gummer – Meryl Streep
The baby of the Streep girls, next up is Louisa Gummer, Meryl Streep’s youngest daughter. Just as gorgeous as her sisters and of course, her mother, she decided to enter the fashion industry. With the connections to all the designers (who wouldn’t want Meryl Streep at their fashion show?), she’s worked for some of the biggest names and has made her own mark in the fashion world.
When we say worked for, we mean in the sense that she put her good looks to use. The woman is signed with IMG Models in New York, shooting campaigns for Dior as well as appearing in high-profile magazine publications Vanity Fair and Glamour.
Grace Gummer – Meryl Streep
Double or nothing, Meryl Streep edition. The second daughter of Don Gummer and Meryl Streep is the gorgeous Grace Gummer. With a resemblance that makes you immediately realize that they’re mother and daughter, Grace, too, seems to have taken to acting.
Gaining her degree from her mother’s alma mater, Vassar College, Grace went to the stage, and has even performed on Broadway! It seems that the apple indeed doesn’t fall too far from the talented tree! There is a third Gummer sister who is also in show business — her name is Mamie and she has several dozens of acting roles to her name.
Stella Gregg – Jennifer Grey
Nobody puts Baby in the corner… and we’re sure the same applies to Jennifer Grey’s own baby, Stella Gregg. And yes, we know that Jennifer Grey will be forever immortalized as “Baby” in Dirty Dancing, a role which she played when she was just sixteen, but hey, that’s not all! Honestly, we loved her as Ferris Bueller’s somewhat frustrated older sister in the iconic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off!
So sure, we know the mom, but did you know her dad is Clark Gregg? Agent Coulson himself! Pretty cool to be honest. Anyway, Stella Gregg started her acting career early too, and has featured in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Trust Me, and more! Watch this space folks.
Oz Perkins – Anthony Perkins
With a career spanning forty years, Anthony Perkins has enjoyed great success in acting. His son Oz seems to have also strolled down the acting path, inheriting a great talent from his father. Oz has secured a number of film roles ever since he played the role of his father’s 12-year-old character in Psycho II.
Get a child to play a younger version of his father and you're guaranteed to have him walking in his footsteps as an adult. Following a stint in teen comedies, Oz transitioned completely to the genre which called to him: horror. A writer and director, once again we see that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
