Coppola has often worked with family members on his films. He cast his two sons in The Godfather as extras during the street fight scene and Don Corleone's funeral; his daughter, Sofia Coppola, appeared in all installments of the series (the first two movies with uncredited roles). His sister, Talia Shire, played Connie Corleone in all three Godfather films. His father Carmine, a composer and professional musician, co-wrote much of the music in The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, and Apocalypse Now. His nephew, Nicolas Cage, starred in Coppola's film Peggy Sue Got Married and was featured in Rumble Fish and The Cotton Club.
His eldest son, Gian-Carlo Coppola, was in the early stages of a film production career when he was killed on May 26, 1986 in a speedboat accident. Coppola's surviving son, Roman Coppola, is a filmmaker and music video director whose filmography includes the feature film CQ and music videos for The Strokes, as well as co-writing the Wes Anderson film The Darjeeling Limited.

Coppola's daughter, Sofia Coppola, is an Academy Award-winning writer and nominated director. Her films include the critically acclaimed films The Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation. In 2004, she became one of the first American women to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director, in which she directed Lost in Translation.

Other famous members of Coppola's family include his nephews Nicholas Cage, Jason Schwartzman and Robert Schwartzman. Jason Schwartzman has starred in several films, such as Rushmore and Slackers. He also co-wrote (along with director Wes Anderson and cousin Roman Coppola) and starred in the 2007 film The Darjeeling Limited. His brother, Robert Schwartzman, is the lead singer in the band Rooney and has made small appearances in several films, including his cousin's The Virgin Suicides.

Coppola, with his family, expanded his business ventures to include winemaking in California's Napa Valley at the Rubicon Estate Winery in Rutherford, California. He produced his first batch in 1977 with the help of his father, wife and children stomping the grapes barefoot. Every year the family has a harvest party to continue the tradition.[sup][3][/sup] His company, Francis Ford Coppola Presents, owns a winery in Geyserville, Sonoma County, California. The company also produces a line of pastas and pasta sauces, and it owns several cafes and resorts.

entertainment? definitely going to have to be a family that is involved exclusively with production and direction. they make way more money than anyactors/actresses and or singers.

This is my pick.

 

[czur1127]

yeah they everywhere

 

[infamousod]

Coppola is the most widely successful family in film and entertainment (exclusive of music)

The Wayans will all be pretty much forgotten in 20 or so years. Scary Movie? White Chicks? Major Payne? That's success?

Francis directed the Godfather and Apocalypse Now
Talia Shire was in the Godfather and the Rocky series
Nicolas Cage has been in way too many blockbuster movies to name, not necessarily timeless classics but a lot of big movies. And he has a statue.
Sophia Coppola is also an award winning actress and director

the rest is just bonus
