4) Sissy Spacek – Daughter: Schuyler Fisk
Orange County received attention for featuring Tom Hanks’ son, Colin. Less publicized was the fact that it was one of the first films to feature Sissy Spacek and production designer Jack Fisk’s daughter, Schuyler Fisk. Fisk made appearances in a few features in addition to Orange County, including the indie comedy, I’m Reed Fish, Gus Van Sant’s Restless and The Babysitters Club (in 1995 when she was a wee nipper). She’s also cropped up as a guest star on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit and One Tree Hill.
Her main foray into the creative world has been via her own brand of folk music, following the same path Spacek walked before Hollywood beckoned. Since 2006 she’s penned original songs for the soundtracks to Ugly Betty, Dear John and The Last Kiss as well as releasing two albums of her own material. By the looks of it, mother and daughter get along swimmingly, so no chance whatsoever of a Mommy Dearest-esque expose (and besides which, Sissy Spacek is probably the loveliest person in Hollywood – read her autobiography.)
