Relatives appearing in films together

53-year-old John Wayne gave his 4-year-old daughter, Aissa Wayne, a speaking part in “The Alamo” (1960). While it is remarkable that she could learn and recite lines at that age, she remains the most sickly sweet child actress in movie history.

Worse even than Bonnie Blue Butler ? , @mike6 ?

Cammie King Conlon
I thought that she HAD to be someone's relative, but no.

"The part of "Bonnie Blue Butler" in Gone with the Wind (1939) was to have been played by Cammie's older sister; however, by the time the scenes were to have been filmed, her sister looked too old for the part. Cammie stepped in to take her place." Then she peaked at age five and retired.

Ginger Rogers & Lela E. Rogers

During the production of "The Major and the Minor" (1942), the casting department was having trouble finding an actress to play "Mrs. Applegate", the mother of "Susan Kathleen Applegate", played by Ginger Rogers... At the last minute, it was suggested that Ginger's mother, Lela E. Rogers, play the part. The production team asked her, and she accepted.

It was the only film that Lela E. Rogers ever acted in...

Ginger & Lela:



Mother & Daughter... or is it Daughter & Mother?





Ginger Rogers also acted with her distant maternal cousin, Lucille Ball, several times too...

Ginger Rogers' first cousin, Phyllis Fraser, had a small uncredited role: "Minor Role", in Ginger's film: "Vivacious Lady" (1938)... (I don't know if they had any scenes together or not)

Ryan and Tatum O'Neill .. father daughter in real life ... in Paper Moon too ?,that is the question.

This weekend I saw Rambling Rose (1991) for the first time. I found this movie very entertaining and easy to love. Here, Laura Dern was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role while her real-life mother, Diane Ladd, was nominated for Best Actress in a Best Actress in a Supporting Role. They were both great!!

I think Laura Dern also played in a movie opposite her father, Bruce Dern.

The Family Way (1966) is one my favorite comedies. While John Mills was never shy about acting with his two daughters, he was great here, playing the father-in-law of his newly-wed real daughter, Hayley Mills. The two also played opposing roles in The Chalk Garden (1964).  

In the Jame Ivory film, The White Countess (2005), we have three related women in key roles--Lynn Redgrave and her sister, Vanessa Redgrave played sisters in the movie and Vanessa's daughter, Natasha Richardson played her daughter in the movie.

In Georgy Girl (1966), Lynn Redgrave's mother, Rachel Kempson also played her mother--I think that was the relationship in the movie. In any case, both were in the movie.

In The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989), real-life brothers, Jeff and Beau Bridges, played as the Baker brothers.

In Sylvia (2003), Gwyneth Paltrow played Sylvia Plath and Platrow's real mother, Blythe Danner, played her mother.

Brothers John and Lionel Barrymore both had roles in Grand Hotel (1932) and the two brothers were joined by their sister, Ethel in Rasputin and the Empress (1932).

In The Proud Rebel (1958) Allan Ladd and his real life son, David played father and son.

Brothers, Ben and Casey Affleck, appeared in the movie 200 Cigarettes (1999). I know nothing about his movie 

  

 


 

And all her dialogue had to be dubbed in the final cut.

Martin Sheen and son Charlie appeared together in Apocalypse Now (no idea where Charlie is in that one), Cadence, Wall Street, and Hot Shots Part Deux.

Charlie and brother Emilio appeared together in Young Guns.

In Georgy Girl (1966), Lynn Redgrave's mother, Rachel Kempson also played her mother--I think that was the relationship in the movie. In any case, both were in the movie

Kempson played the sickly wife of James Mason .she dies early in the film and I’m not sure she has much screen time.

First thought was Grand Hotel with the Barrymore brothers, which is already mentioned.
A whole bunch of relatives appeared in the Godfathers movies, or many Francis Ford Coppola movies.
Ben and Casey Affleck in Good Will Hunting
Just last year, James and Dave Franco in The Disaster Artist
Will Smith and his son Jaden in The Pursuit of Happyness
Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson in Sleepless in Seattle
Madonna and then husband Sean Penn in Shanghai Surprise
Martin and Charlie Sheen in Wall Street
