Which Offspring of Famous Entertainers Succeeded As Much As Their Parent?

[fmdog44]

None of the Bing Crosby boys, not Sinatra Jr or Nancy. Lisa Minelli somewhat, not Debbie Reynolds daughter, not John Wayne's boy or Robert Mitcham's boy. I believe there a couple women actresses that may be considered but I can't think of their names. Hank Williams is holding his own. The Judd sisters are successful.

Success is hard to measure but I would say Michael Douglas might have exceeded his dad's or was at least equal to.

 

[Pinky]

Jane Fonda has done fairly well.

 

[Aunt Bea]

Bocephus!

Drew Barrymore outshone her father.

Julio and Enrique Iglesias seem to have reached about equal levels of popularity.

Jamie Lee Curtis has done pretty well for herself while maintaining a good marriage. (Parents: Janet Leigh & Tony Curtis)

Those are the only ones that come immediately to mind, but others will surely occur to me as the day wears on.

Kate Hudson became equally famous as mom, Goldie Hawn.

I don't think so, no. Goldie was really huge at one point, and has decades of work.
