With a string of box office hits ("Coming To America," "Beverly Hills Cop") and misses ("A Thousand Words"), Eddie Murphy has already had a full career. His eldest daughter Bria is trying to make her mark in beauty and fashion. She's a spokesmodel for the Dark & Lovely hair care brand.
Like father like son? Not so much. The "Growing Pains" actor became a household name with the 1980s sitcom but his son Robin, however, wanted to take on music like his mom, Gloria Loring, who scored a pop hit in the 1980s with "Friends & Lovers" (with Carl Anderson).

After founding Motown Records and making it one of the biggest record labels in the world, Berry Gordy settled down from the music business and enjoyed the fruits of his labor.

Many child stars have a difficult time transitioning as adults. But the former Opie Taylor (on "The Andy Griffith Show") and Richie Cunningham (on "Happy Days") knew when to quit while he was ahead.

His eldest daughter, Bryce Dallas, is doing well for herself with memorable roles in flicks such as "Twilight: Eclipse" and "The Help."
As the daughter of former Beatle Paul McCartney, one of the most influential musicians in the history of music, Stella McCartney's pedigree, and talent, has made her the cream of the crop amongst European fashion designers. Designing for the likes of Madonna, Annie Lennox and Gwyneth Paltrow and with shops in major cities across the world, the McCartney legacy lives on in a major way.
