I am so tired of the nepotism babies trying to define the "legitimate" way to enter a field. Jennifer Aniston's father is the reason she got her foot in the door. She is not more legitimate than people who had to work 10x harder than her to get a fraction less.

I like how if you're a successful actor with actor parents, that automatically means you're a talentless nepotism baby. As if anybody gave a fuck who Jennifer Aniston's soap opera dad was when she was cast in Muddling Through

She’s not wrong… the early 00’s was revolutionizing. You actually had to have talent.
