Janet Leigh – Jamie Lee Curtis (20 Years Old)
Janet Leigh had a well-known career in Hollywood as an American dancer and actress before passing in 2004. Her stunning performance in the movie Psycho portraying Marion Crane earned her a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress. Her daughter, Jamie Lee Curtis, is one example of a celebrity child that has made inroads to matching — and possibly exceeding — her mother’s success. Jamie Lee also won a Golden Globe Award in 1994 for her performance in Truth Lies. Deviating from the path of acting, she’s taken up the hobby of writing children’s books, several of which are critically-acclaimed and earned her a spot on The New York Times best-seller list. Looking at the two women side by side, it’s easy to see that they share the same genes.
Anthony Perkins – Oz Perkins (27 Years Old)
Anthony Perkins is best known for playing in movies Friendly Persuasion and Alfred Hitchcock’s horror film, Psycho. He continued to play Norman Bates in the three Psycho sequels and was eventually nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Anthony passed away in 1992 and left behind a son, Oz Perkins, who has inherited not only his dashing good looks but also his knack for acting. Thanks to his incredible resemblance to his father, he was able to play his father’s 12-year-old self in Psycho II. It seems that Oz’s niche is geared more towards writing and directing than acting, though. He is best known for his performance in Legally Blonde and has since made the switch to solely work in horror films. We’re not the slightest bit surprised.
