Kirk Douglas – Michael Douglas (30 Years Old)
The 2003 hit film, It Runs in the Family, featured not one, not two, but three generations of the Douglas family. Critics alluded the movie as a kind reminder of how inheritable traits, good and bad, are passed between generations – and you better hope that your family had ample good traits, and at least some that you could be proud of. Kirk Douglas set the stage for his son, Michael Douglas, and his father’s highly successful acting career that spanned almost seventy years.

Michael Douglas seemed to inherit not only his father’s stellar acting skills but also his incredibly good looks and an uncanny ability to be immune to hair loss after the age of thirty. After Michael’s debut on the stage, he passed the torch to his son Cameron, who hasn’t been as successful. Keep at it, Cameron — you’ll get there one day.

How many children can say their mothers started their careers in the ’70s and went on to win not only a Tony Award but also a Primetime Emmy award? That solitary child is Gwyneth Paltrow, who has been able to inherit her mother’s striking beauty as well as her acting skills. While Gwyneth’s mother, Blythe Danner, has stellar achievements in film, she has also dedicated much of her time to fundraising for health care and pertinent environmental issues.
