6. Nicolas Cage
Another Coppola family entry, Nicholas is the grandson of Carmine Coppola, a Julliard student who performed with the NBC Symphony Orchestra. Carmine had several children, one of which is Francis Ford Coppola. Therefore, the successful actor is the nephew of Francis, the cousins of Sofia and Roman Coppola, and the son of August Coppola and Joy Vogelsang. August shunned show business and became an academic while his mother, Joy, was a dancer and choreographer. To avoid the appearance of favoritism based on family connections, Nicolas changed his last name from Coppola to Cage. However in his first film role, Nicolas is credited as Nicolas Coppola in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
