10. Tippi and Melanie

Everyone remembers Melanie Griffith as the plucky office prodigy in ‘Working Girl’. But did you know her mother is Tippi Hendren, star of Hitchcock 's ‘The Birds’?

9. Diane and Laura

‘Jurassic Park’ star Laura Dern and her mother Diane Ladd are both rather underrated as actresses. That said, in 1991 they became the first mother and daughter in history to have Oscar nominations in the same year.

8. Hawn and Hudson

If you haven't heard of Kate Hudson yet, just wait. Being the daughter of Goldie Hawn , this rising actress has the looks and connections that can take a girl to the top of the A-list.

7. The Osbournes

‘The Osbournes’ has given us the wildest mum-and-daughter act of them all. Who can fail to admire the softly-spoken Sharon Osbourne as she patiently puts up with the berserk tantrums of her darling Kelly ?

6. The McCartneys

It's no mean feat that Sir Paul 's first wife and daughter both succeeded on their own terms. Linda was the very voice of vegetarianism, while her daughter Stella is now one of the world's hottest clothes designers.

5. Ingrid and Isabella

Ingrid Bergman 's fame was assured when she was cast as Bogart 's lost love in ‘Casablanca’. Daughter Isabella Rossellini inherited the exotic demeanour but hasn't quite achieved the same iconic heights.

4. Debbie and Carrie

Although many will recall Debbie Reynolds in legendary musical ‘Singin' in the Rain’, many more will need to be prompted by the clue: ‘Princess Leia's mum’. Yep, her daughter is sci-fi icon Carrie Fisher .

3. Thompson and Law

Oscar-winning British export Emma Thompson needs no introduction, but let's also applaud her exotically named mum, Phyllida Law . She's starred in everything from ‘Monarch of the Glen’ to the Gwyneth Paltrow version of ‘Emma’.

2. Janet and Jamie

Her horror flicks secured Jamie Lee Curtis the nickname ‘scream queen’, but her mum Janet Leigh has been cinema's quintessential victim ever since checking into the Bates Motel.

1. Judy and Liza

‘The Wizard of Oz’ made Judy Garland immortal, but her daughter Liza Minnelli has also been a bona fide legend ever since her turn as the decadent songstress in ‘Cabaret’. Bravo!
