Robin Williams attended Juliard, along with Christopher Reeve, and took acting classes. Then he went out and busted his ass in stand-up comedy routines until his agent signed him up for Mork and Mindy. From there, it just went uphill for him.

John Elway, Joe Montana, Joe Namath, Randall Cunningham, Lawrence Taylor, etcetera, played football in high school and college and eventually made it to the NFL where their athletic capabilities were televised for all the world to see. From there was the opportunities to endorse various products. Their success in life has given many children a goal in life and has positioned them into role models.

Jim Carrey fought it out in lesser-known stand-up comedy clubs until working hard enough to get some television spots and eventually break into movies.

Simply put, you earn something by working to get it. She did not.

And just because your parents are famous doesn't count. It doesn't mean that you can be famous, too. That's ridiculous.
