Idk, there’s lots of people with connections and famous parents who still fail to break into the industry in a meaningful way. Absolutely it opens a hell of a lot of doors and you’re WAY ahead of the curve but I don’t think it’s an automatic guarantee of a long, successful career full of meaty, interesting roles, either. There’s a bunch of celeb offsprings that tried it and flopped miserably. Talent plays SOME role in it, IMO.

I think of Cody Horn whose dad is a Disney executive where I'm pretty sure they tried to make her happen with Magic Mike but looord she's a terrible actress.

Cody fucking Horn. Last time I saw her she was at the Golden Globes main table with whomever won the lifetime achievement award that year.

The other Lily is still in the "kingdom" and she sucks. you don't get kicked out just because you're terrible.

Exactly, with parents as big as Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, she will always be In.

Lily Collins? She was shockingly good in Mank

I’m thinking they’re referring to Lily Rose Depp who I thought was shockingly good in The King.
