Huston’s play a very important role in the moviemaking industry, their family is full of actors, directors and composers who have been in the industry for seventy-five years. This family can truly be given the title of one of the finest filmmaking family in Hollywood with three generations of marvelous Oscar winning actors. Huston family won many Oscars and John Huston has been the only director in Hollywood who directed his father and daughter to Oscar victories. They give a feeling of a glamorous Hollywood class combined with brilliant acting along with a great family co-operation. John Huston treated his father with much seniority and it seems as if he actually knew about Walter Huston’s potential to act. John Huston made it a point to cast his father in the lead role for most of the movies. The most memorable movie of the father son duo was The Maltese Falcon. Moving into her father’s and grandfather’s footsteps, the high class Oscar winning actress Anjelica Huston made her debut in the industry in ” A Walk with Love and Death” directed by her father. There are many movies by the Huston’s that are still remembered in Hollywood; most prominent out of these were Sinful Davey and Prizzi’s Honor. John performed alongside his son Tony in his only movie in The List of Adrian Messenger. Anjelica and her half-brother Danny Huston teamed up for the TV thriller “Covert One: The Hades Factor”. Danny Huston along with acting is also co-producing and co-financing the movie Titans. It still remains one of the most prominent families of Hollywood and continues to rule the industry with new children from the family setting it and continuing the legacy.

For almost 30 years, the Marx Brothers ruled the Hollywood industry with the greatest comedy movies of all times. Until today the brothers Groucho, Chico, Harpo and Zeppo remain unbeatable in comedy. Groucho was leader, Chico mixed and matched the English language to suit his whims and fancies and Harpo interacted with the kids with his facial expressions and humorous tricks. The most famous and a brilliant actor was the fourth brother, Zeppo who had just everything perfect in him or it can be said that he was a blend of all the good things from each Marx brother. They appeared on the Time magazine cover way back in 1932 for their performances, which was a very big achievement in their carrier. They made many record-breaking movies, which include the 1933’s Duck Soup and 1935’s A Night At The Opera which was the first MGM movie to be made in Hollywood. Every movie made by the Marx Brothers is worth seeing, because not only they were comedy geniuses but also because these movies play a great influence on the present day comedians and help them refine their acting in a much better way.

THE WILSON BROTHERS

Owen, Luke, and Andrew Wilson made their debut in Hollywood with the low budget, acclaimed hit Bottle Rocket in 1996. Owen and Luke Wilson have become box office stars in a very short time with very impressive works in the industry. Their brother Andrew Wilson might not have the same recognition that they do, but has also appeared in some big films, usually in small but memorable roles. There is a great co-operation among the brothers, Luke frequently breaks stories from new genres, Owen writes, he even co-wrote Wes Anderson’s first three features, revealing a masterpiece in the industry and Andrew can be compared to the Marx Brothers, Zeppo who makes an aura on the screen with short and fantastic roles. They topped the 2009 list and were ranked as the hottest star siblings in Hollywood. These brothers have a thing in them, that no matter how the movie was you will walk out of the theatre liking them.

THE COPPOLA FAMILY

This can be rated as the first family of Hollywood as no family has gone as far as the Coppola Empire. Francis Ford Coppola immortalized actors with his Godfather trilogy. It seems like every member of the family was in some way related to the industry at some time. Starting from Francis to Nicolas cage, Roman Coppola to Talia Shire everyone left an everlasting impact on the movies. While casting sister Talia Shire as Connie, Francis Ford Coppola bypassed baby auditions by casting daughter Sofia in The Godfather as an infant Michael Rizz. Godfather became an epic in the movie industry winning the Coppola Family and the other stars of the movie almost every Oscar possible. Nicolas Cage ruled the 1980s with The Cotton Club and Peggy Sue Got Married, both directed by Uncle Francis while Jason Schwartzman starred in Marie Antoinette directed Sofia Coppola. The Coppola clan seems to be rising in Hollywood as ever with new kids on the block taking up acting and the previous actors becoming directors. It seems as if this family will forever rule the Hollywood.

Henry was the old Hollywood everyman, Peter and Jane embodied the restless nature of the Move Brats, and Peter’s daughter Bridget was a key player in Generation X cinema.
