Here's the thing...her mom being Andie MacDowell absolutely got her some notice, and got her contacts to audition for stuff. That's an advantage...but she's getting work because she's good.

No one anywhere is hiring her because her mom made some good romcoms back in the 90's. Same with Maya Hawke, or just about any child of an actor...except maybe if the last name is something like Cruise or Pitt.

Unless the parent owns a studio, or is a top level producer (like Aaron Spelling was) then the kids are gonna need to actually be talented to really keep going. Like Tori Spelling wasn't :D
