Katharine Schwarzenegger, daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger and award winning journalist Maria Shriver Kennedy insists that there is more to her than the celebrity surname. The 26-year-old, ravishing daughter of Terminator-cum-Governor of California, recently came in news as she appeared on the cover of the Hello magazine.
Her resplendent look was perfect to be the face of bridal wear as she modelled for the new Atelier Pronovias 2017 collection. This was her first ever modelling assignment, which made Katherine open up about her life. Though she took up modelling assignment for the first time, Katherine’s interest largely is towards writing.
She is essentially is an author, with two books to her credit. The self help books on personal development were listed in the best seller category by US newspapers.
“The most important thing that I’ve learnt is that the perfect body doesn’t exist,” she said. “Women are under a lot of pressure to look a certain way. Now in the media we are making an effort to show women with different types of physique,” said Katherine in an interview to Hello.
Unlike Bollywood where star kids have it easy, Hollywood has largely been modelled on meritocracy. Nepotism has rarely been the order as one doesn’t find A-list Hollywood celebrities going out of their way to promote their offspring. These children with famous parents have been making a mark in their respective fields irrespective of the fact that they take support of their family or not.
Cindy Crawford, the sensational supermodel in the 90s may have decided to take a backseat from the showbiz, but, her 14-year-old daughter Kaia Garber signed a contract for high-end rocker label Chrome Hearts. Previously, she had posed for Vogue, Teen Vogue and CR Fashion Book.
Though their star parents have not openly come forward to support their children in cementing their careers, but, the star kids are in the forefront. These star kids may not be entirely dependent on their famous surnames but the gene pool surely has played a big role in their success. If nothing else, they have definitely inherited the talent from their celebrated parents:
Here’s a list of children of famous parents who have made a mark lately:
Lourdes Leon: Daughter of Madonna and her partner Carlos Leon has been following her mom’s footsteps. The 19-year-old is studying in University of Michigan. She is one of the new faces of Stella McCartney’s POP perfume campaign and also helps her mom’s clothing line.

She started out by making an appearance in the TV series ‘The Unit’ and was also seen in ‘The United States of Tara’, and will be one of the lead characters in Mad Men.
Kristen Stewart: Daughter of John Stewart, stage manager and Jules Mann Stewart, director of prison drama K-11, is famous for her lead role in The Twilight Saga, but, despite born in a film oriented family, she started out by doing uncredited roles in films such as Panic room.
