But I don't think it's automatically a bad idea to follow in the footsteps of a famous parent. There are a lot of good musicians and actors who are children of famous musicians and actors. They have the advantage of starting-out rich and famous. And also, they don't necessarily need to achieve the same level of high regard as the parent, because they already have the famous family name.

I hear ya, but I was specifically talking about those 2 individuals who to me at least, are the pinnacle of their careers. John and Cindy will never be topped. It's one thing if like Tom Hanks' son wants to be an actor. Yea I agree with what you said but while Tom Hanks is like top 5 actors in my lifetime, he's not the best that ever was or will be.

And of course me saying they are the best ever is subjective so it's not like my opinion means all that much. I just cringe when hearing both of Cindy's kids wanted to be models.
 
Old news...

Robin is detailing a story in the 6/27/2003 about how Faye Dunaway wanted plum tomatoes for lunch while filming in Atlanta in 2003. The person misunderstood and brought plums. She threw the plums, and lettuce, at the guy and said "I'm Faye Dunaway. Restaurants give me what I want."

In my effort to read more about it, I asked Google and its AI responded...

Is there a news story of Faye Dunaway throwing plums and lettuce on the set of a movie in Atlanta in 2003?

No, there is no news story of Faye Dunaway throwing plums and lettuce on a movie set in Atlanta in 2003.

The scenario appears to be a mix-up of separate pieces of Hollywood lore:

The Atlanta 2003 Movie: She was in Atlanta during the summer of 2003 filming the independent drama Last Goodbye alongside her son, Liam. No reports of food-throwing emerged from this indie production.

The "Lettuce" Lore: The specific detail about lettuce stems from a famous theater rumor regarding Dunaway’s strict dietary rules. Playwrights and crew members from other productions have joked that she required her salad lettuce leaves to be individually weighed on a scale to meet precise low-carb specifications.

Lost history
 
While we're at it, here's another one:

Albert Einstein never made the famous statement about bees and human survival.

The False Quote
    • The quote: "If the bee disappears from the surface of the Earth, man would have no more than four years left to live".
    • The facts: Biographers and researchers, including the Quote Investigator, found no record of Einstein writing, speaking, or publishing this phrase.
    • The origin: The earliest links between Einstein and similar doomsday bee claims date back to articles in beekeeping journals in the early 1940s, but they misattributed ideas to him.
 
And Mae West did not say "Why don't you come up and see me sometime?" In the 1933 movie She Done Him Wrong, her character Lady Lou says to Captain Cummings (played by Cary Grant), ""Why don't you come up sometime and see me?" It was a classic Mae West double entendre which loses its meaning when the line is misquoted.
