While they may have had that added advantage of their famous parents to get their break what they did after that was on their own merit & talent so calling them nepo babies can only go so far they proved themselves others who want to get their break shouldn’t dwell on that or complain about that & should do everything in their power to get their big break & prove themselves with their talents Johnny Depp did it all on his own merit, talent & by an unexpected accident by a friend Nicholas Cage getting him his break in nightmare on elm street so he can pay his bills & he became one of the most successful actors, performers today! I’m sure there are many more who can say the same! & he enjoyed the work & continued making many movies some blockbusters & some not so much & he does have many talents under his belt like being a great musician & artist! So again someone who got a foot into the industry but proved himself by himself! Others who want to get their break should admire these people & not tear them down we always will be defined by our parents but that doesn’t mean we can’t be our own people!

I disagree that Jamie Lee Curtis is more famous than her father Tony. I remember him from the 50s and early 60s. His success was phenomenal for his day. The entertainment news media was more low key back then.
You left out Michael Douglas, son of Kirk Douglas. I concede their levels of fame are roughly equal. The same with Jane Fonda and her father Henry.
Brian Keith way surpassed the success of his father, the fine character actor Robert Keith.

Some of these seem more famous because they’ve been seen and spoken about more recently. I dare say, Lionel Barrymore was, in his era, equally as famous as Drew Barrymore. Similar for Lloyd and Jeff Bridges, and Jaime Lee Curtis and her parents. The Internet may make the children of celebrities seem like they’re more famous, but if you go by history, these acting families run about par.

Carrie Fisher became more famous than her mom, Debbie Reynolds (one of my favorite stories about Debbie is that after Star Wars became popular she'd sign autographs as Princess Leia's mom) & her dad, Eddie Fisher. Emma Roberts, daughter of Eric Roberts. Laura Dern, daughter of Diane Ladd & Bruce Dern (I'd say she's mostly surpassed her father.

Jennifer Aniston is a great actress but Friends has overshadowed her career. And Miley Cyrus should consider herself lucky with Hannah Montana and her song Flowers. Because her Bangerz era almost destroyed her career.

Kravitz was in JLo's 2022 Shotgun Wedding with a hilarious death scene reminiscent of what one might see playing GTAV. 2012 Hunger Games was the best you could do SMH

Sure Drew Barrymore is more famous than her dad. But her Grandfather or Great Grandfather Way before my time so I can’t say. I love Drew so no disrespect.

Roxie Roker and TV weatherman/personality Al Roker are cousins. Whitney Houston and Dionne Warwick, one of my favorite singers, are also cousins.

Mariska Hargitay In my opinion, she’s surpassed the fame of both her mom, Jayne Mansfield, and her dad, Mickey Hargitay.
