Some nepotism is good. I like Michael Douglas a whole lot more than I ever liked his father. All the Bridges were terrific, and Lloyd is still missed. You can't fault the Barrymores; they've had success after success. Still there was that embarrassment with Will Smith not too long ago when he starred—starred!—his talentless son in a blockbuster. I'm sure he's still smarting from that. But it will take a lot of actors hiring a lot of their kids or cousins or parents before anyone of them tops Matthew Weiner, creator of Mad Men. What was he thinking. He not only put his dead-eyed, noo personality son into several episodes of this popular series, but he made him a leading contender for the misplaced passion of Betty Draper and later Betty Francis. Sadly he didn't do the kid any favors since it will take a long time before anyone forgets this role.

A mad, mad decision.
