Why Nepotism in Hollywood Is More Out of...

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Nepotism in Hollywood is nothing new: some of the most famous acting families go back generations. But with the rise of reality television and social media, it seems like all you need is a famous last name to achieve a certain level of celebrity these days (or at least a walk-on part in a movie). In this week's episode, we're discussing the rising stars who got a boost from their well-known parents (looking at you, Jack Quaid and Lily Collins), celebrity family connections you never knew about, and what happens when Hollywood nepotism goes awry (sorry, Olivia Jade).
