OVER the years this nepo-baby’s mum has certainly made a name for herself in Hollywood, both on the big and small screen.
This rising star is now hoping to copy some of that success and is even starring in a movie alongside her famous parent – but can you guess who her mother is?

The nepo-baby in question is Birdie Leigh Silverstein, 16, who is the daughter of Dawson’s Creek star Busy Philipps, 46.
She has just landed a role opposite her mum in the new horror-comedy, Horrified.
The movie started shooting this summer, and Busy couldn’t help sharing a clip from a scene her daughter filmed for the movie.
Writing next to it, the proud mum said: “Apparently i’ve now completed the transformation into what is probably my truest form: STAGE MOTHER!.
“Thank you to my dear friend @zarastoriez & @horrifiedmovie for helping me to achieve this eventuality.”
Busy is extremely proud of her daughter.
On her last birthday, the actress posted a slew of photos of her girl, and wrote: “Happy 16th Birthday to my Bird. There is absolutely no one like you in the world, Birdie Leigh Silverstein.
“I’m forever in awe that you’re my kid(but also I’m SORRY but you’re SO MY KID- your RBF is proof)
“You’re the absolute funniest, smartest, greatest, best with a mind like no one I’ve ever met before.
“Literally every person who has ever spent time with you would agree.”
She ended the sweet post with: “I love you more than anything in the world, my chicken.”
Busy shares Birdie with her ex husband, Marc Silverstein.
The former couple had been married 14 years before announcing they had parted ways in 2022.
Speaking at the time on her podcast Busy Phillips Is Doing Her Best, the actress said: “It’s been a really long time that Marc and I have been separated and our kids know, our families know, our friends know.”

Busy shared how the pair first separated back in February 2021 and had been thinking how to reveal their split to the public.
The actress explained: “Marc and I talked about it, and when we first separated, we couldn’t even think about putting one of those statements out — it made us sick, both of us, truly ill. It’s a journey.
“The surest way that Marc and I have been able to ensure the privacy of our kids that we love so f**king much was by not involving the public.”
Along with Birdie, Busy and Marc share another child, Cricket Pearl, 12.
Busy added on her podcast: “We love each other- very much! And we have these beautiful kids together. And there are a lot of things that really work about our relationship.”
Busy previously opened up about her relationship with Marc in her 2018 memoir, This Will Only Hurt a Little.
In it she revealed she reached out for support from another man as her marriage was on the rocks.
Busy wrote: “There was a man I was friends with, another dad. We’d been having lunch and stuff. Texting. Talking on the phone a lot.
“Honestly, I had a crush on him. I like him. Maybe I even loved him? He clearly liked me too.”
Busy also once told Parents magazine: “Marriage is always hard, but especially when you have kids … You’re going to go through periods when you’re not into it, but there always has to be one person willing to fight.
“I went to Marc several times and said, ‘I cannot do this anymore. Something has to change, and it’s you…'”
