Brothers and sisters in the cinema

История кинематографа | 14.10.2024
Sometimes acting dynasties are not “fathers and children”, but “brothers and sisters". Yes, it is not uncommon for relatives to choose the same path. It often turns into a drama, into a novel, into an incessant rivalry - like what is shown in an old thriller.“What happened to Baby Jane?” This is exactly the kind of story (or a very similar one) that happened in the lives of two Hollywood divas - Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine, sisters. Their rivalry is still a byword. And all in order to prove to his own mother - “I'm better!”. Both sisters shone on the screen, received numerous awards, including the Oscar, and could not stand each other.
           
But the Bridges brothers - Bo and Jeff - did not fight for fame, but shared it. Awards and fame were enough for both of them. Beau Bridges is a two-time Golden Globe winner and a three-time Emmy winner. Jeff Bridges has an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award.
           
The example of the children of actor Lews Arquette is striking - all five became actors. Rosanna Arquette is the eldest of them. In 1985, she starred in the film "Desperately Looking for Susan" with Madonna in the title role. She was awarded a BAFTA award. Patricia Arquette starred in the films "True Love", "Ed Wood", "Highway to Nowhere", has an Oscar, BAFTA, Emmy and two Golden Globes. David Arquette is an American actor, producer, director and screenwriter. He is known for playing Dewey Riley in the slasher "Scream", although there are several dozen other roles in his filmography. Actor and screenwriter Richmond Arquette starred in the films “Fight Club”, “Seven”, “The Mysterious Story of Benjamin Button”, “Dead End", “Zodiac".
           
Another family on the screens! Shirley MacLaine is an actress who has an Oscar, six Golden Globes, two BAFTA Awards, and awards from the Venice and Berlin Film Festivals. And her younger brother, director, actor and producer Warren Beatty. He is the winner of many film awards as a producer, director and screenwriter. His eight production projects have received several dozen (!!!)  nominations of the Academy of Cinema. In addition, Warren Beatty starred in very bright films and his roles were remembered by the audience. Despite the equal success, the brother and sister do not like each other too much and prefer not to communicate.
           
​Penelope Cruz did not have star parents. Her mother is a hairdresser and her father is a mechanic. But her younger sister, as well as the older one, became a star of the screen. By the way, Monica even dubbed Penelope during the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Strange Shores.
