The Moms and Kids Who Have Starred in Movies Together

Paltrow had already won an Oscar by the time she costarred with her fellow actress mom in 2003's Sylvia. Paltrow played famed poet Sylvia Plath, and in perfect symmetry, Danner played her mother, Aurelia.

Streep and her look-alike daughter team up but don't appear on screen together in Evening — because they play the same character at different ages. How's that for good casting?

Gummer stars as Streep's daughter in Ricki and the Flash.

For 2014's Maleficent, the adorable Jolie-Pitt got her big break because, well, no one else would do it. Jolie told Entertainment Weekly that Vivienne was the only child who wasn't scared of her: "We think it's fun for our kids to have cameos and join us on set, but not to be actors. That's not our goal for Brad and I at all. But the other 3- and 4-year-old [performers] wouldn't come near me. It had to be a child that liked me and wasn't afraid of my horns and my eyes and my claws. So it had to be Viv."

Willis has two acting parents, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, and her first two credits are in her mom's movies. She has a tiny role in Now and Then and a slightly bigger role as her mom's daughter in the provocative Striptease.

Meryl and Mamie aren't the only mother-and-daughter performers in Evening. British actresses Natasha Richardson and Vanessa Redgrave also appear on screen together, and they play mother and daughter.

Both of Ben Stiller's parents actually appear in Zoolander; dad Jerry Stiller is manager Maury Ballstein, and mom Anne Meara is an angry protester who accosts Derek.

Dunham's mom is better known as a famous artist than as an actress, but that didn't stop her from starring in Dunham's 2010 indie film, Tiny Furniture, as Dunham's character's mom.

In another pairing in which mom and daughter play mom and daughter on screen, Sarandon and Amurri Martino starred together in The Banger Sisters.

In 2012, they reteamed in the Adam Sandler comedy That's My Boy, but this time, the actresses played the same character, just at different ages.

The beautiful daughters of director Judd Apatow and actress Leslie Mann were an easy casting decision when Apatow helmed 2007's Knocked Up and needed actresses to play the kids of Mann's character.

And of course, they all reprised their roles a few years later for 2012's This Is 40.

. . . And then a year later, in Rambling Rose, for which both actresses earned Oscar nominations (in different categories).

The mother and daughter famously shared the screen in Fisher's longtime franchise when Lourd had a small role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. They shared the screen again in The Last Jedi, which was one of Fisher's last films before her death in 2016.

13 Reasons Why star Bacon played a younger version of her mother in the 2005 indie drama Loverboy.
