You may not realise it, but Melanie is actually Dakota’s mother. It took her over a year to finally watch some of her daughter’s most famous film, 50 Shades of Grey. She’s only seen a small part of it as she couldn’t bring herself to watch her daughter’s more explicit scenes.

8. Julia Roberts and Emma Roberts

The connection? Julia is Emma’s aunt. Spending time on the sets of Julia’s films as a child encouraged Emma to follow in her aunt’s footsteps and pursue acting.
