The iconic father-daughter duo, Vincente and Liza Minnelli, hold the unique distinction of being the first, father and child to both win competitive Academy Awards in their respective careers. Vincente Minnelli won the Best Director Oscar in 1959 for the film "Gigi." 13 years later, his daughter Liza Minnelli won the Best Actress Oscar in 1972 for her enthralling performance as Sally Bowles in "Cabaret."

While many famous acting families exist, only one other father-daughter pair has won acting Oscars: Jane Fonda (Best Actress, for Klute 1971 & Coming Home 1978) and her father, Henry Fonda (Best Actor, for On Golden Pond 1981). However, Jane and Henry Fonda were not the first to achieve this; the Minnellis were. Liza Minnelli also holds the distinction of being an EGOT winner, meaning she has won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award. Her mother, the legendary Judy Garland (ex-wife of Vincente Minnelli), received a non-competitive Juvenile Oscar in 1940. That's one very talented family that has left an indelible mark on Hollywood.
