The CoppolaFamily Tree

HOW many fOlks can say tHat tHeir gr andfatHer , fatHer, sister, cousin and uncle have won Oscars and their aunt and cousin have been nominated? Roman Coppola can, and now he’s nominated for his own Academy Award for best original screenplay (with Wes Anderson) for Moonrise Kingdom. This latest in a long line of Coppola kudos (they and the Hustons are the only families with Oscars over three genera-tions) prompted THR to follow a lineage that has its roots in Italy, runs through New York, Napa and Hollywood and has wound its way through film, fashion, music, radio and academia. “With our family, I always say it’s not six degrees of separation, it’s like three,” says cin-ematographer John Schwartzman, an Oscar nominee for Seabiscuit. “We could form a studio. We certainly have enough people.” — MIKE BARNES
