    I wonder… Does this imply talent is semi genetic or that people get opportunities based off of who they know/family? Or even just some crazy coincidence in this crazy world?

      Considering she is not that great of a singer, I’d wager on nepotism. The production on her songs is absolutely ridiculous though. I had goosebumps listening to please please please, just thinking about what went into the production of that one song.

      in this case? you’d have to convince me that it isn’t just a funny coincidence.

      in many other cases in acting? yeah, it’s definitely a nepotism thing. hollywood is the one place (until lately) where americans could admire dynasties without any particular guilt

      edit - i made a mistake in this post, but the replies are too good to delete it.

        Let me introduce you to the world of professional sports. Especially hockey, but others too.

        Not at the scale of Hollywood, for sure. But it’s been going on a very long time. There are 4th generation NHLers at this point.

        Meh, not a recent change.

        Go read about the early “talkie” era. Same shit today as yesterday - Hollywood has always been a cesspool

          sorry - it was a bad post. i was trying to make some point about dynasties being disliked in other places, but i didn’t remember the kennedies, the vanderbilts, etc. i’m a bit high tonight.
