In my career, I've probably interviewed 100 children of famous people who followed their parents' careers -- from Nancy and Frank Sinatra Jr., to Kate Hudson to Josh Brolin, to the Bridges brothers, to Maxim Shostakovich, to Richard Zanuck and two of Kirk Douglas's kids (the charismatic Michael and the morose Eric, the one who ended up dying of a drug overdose). Read the rest in the Toronto Sun.
