Bollywood isn’t the only family business. Today’s Hollywood keeps it close to home too. You’ve heard of the Kardashians, Wayans and Jonases. Here are other relatives in the spotlight
Julia, Eric, Lisa & Emma Roberts
You know the Pretty Woman, of course. Brother Eric has been, among many things, the mafia boss in The Dark Knight; sister Lisa has had short roles on several shows and Eric’s daughter Emma is currently on the show Scream Queens
Donald, Rossif, Kiefer & Sarah Sutherland
Donald, who’s been acting since the ’60s, was the bad guy in The Hunger Games. One son, Rossif, was in Monk and smaller projects, while the other, Kiefer, has habitually saved the world in 24. Kiefer’s daughter Sarah plays the spoiled, whiny daughter on the hilarious show Veep.
Blake, Eric, Robyn, Jason & Lori Lively
You know Blake from Gossip Girl, her brother Eric was on the TV show The L Word, half-sister Robyn used to be on ’80s shows like Doogie Howser MD, half-brother Jason has been a character artist fixture in small 80s films and half-sister Lori has made even more forgettable films
Rosanna, David, Alexis & Patricia Arquette
Rosanna has been on screen since 1977, with roles in Pulp Fiction and Girls; David is famous for the Scream movie and for being married to Courteney Cox; Alexis (born Robert) was also in Pulp Fiction but was male then; Patricia won an Oscar for her role in Boyhood last year.

Luke, Owen & Andrew Wilson
Luke’s the one from The Royal Tenenbaums. Owen is the one from The Wedding Crashers. Andrew is the lesser known one who was in Whip It.
Martin & Charlie Sheen, Emilio, Renee & Ramon Estevez
Martin, the father, is famous for several roles, including playing the US president on The West Wing; Sheen is a screen name, which explains why son Charlie (Two And A Half Men) adopted it, but Emilio (The Breakfast Club), Renee (The West Wing) and Ramon (Anger Management) haven’t. There are many more of the Estevez family in Hollywood, in music, smaller roles and make-up.
Chris, Luke & Liam Hemsworth

Of the everywhere brothers, James cut off his arm on 127 Hours, and Dave dabbled in magic in Now You See Me.
Dakota & Elle Fanning
Dakota was in practically every movie that needed a child actress in the 2000s. Sister Elle has been most memorable in Maleficent.
Jake & Maggie Gyllenhall
We wish we knew how to quit Jake after Brokeback Mountain. And Maggie Gyllenhall was in The Dark Knight as Batman’s short-lived love interest.
Rooney & Kate Mara
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo? That’s Rooney. The journalist on House of Cards? That’s her sister Kate.
