At some level, having parents in the trade gives you access to education and experience that your peers aren’t going to have. And that’s fine. Just wish people wouldn’t pretend this is an aberration in an industry that’s dummy thick with nepotism.
Yeah, she’s never even attempted to hide being a Barrymore. Nic Cage, not so much. Which is funny, because the rest of the Coppola clan apparently have no problem making movies and releasing them via American Zoetrope, Francis Ford Coppola’s own company, under their real names.
