Lizzie is an acquitted American woman who was the main suspect of murdering her dad and stepmum with an axe in 1982.
The actress clearly has acting running through her veins as her dad has had a career as an actor and filmmaker, spanning over six decades.
He played Clyde Barrow in the hit crime film Bonnie and Clyde in 1967 and also produced the project also.
Meanwhile, her mum has starred in 1999 classic American Beauty and superhero film Captain Marvel which released in 2019.
That’s right, the star in question is Ella Beatty, daughter of the legendary actor Warren Beatty and Annette Bening.
Ella made her foray into the acting world last year with a recurring role in the FX on Hulu anthology series Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, also directed American Horror Story creator Ryan.
Proving she’s a chip off of the old block, she starred on the big screen in A24 drama If I Had Legs I’d Kick You which released earlier this year and made her Broadway debut in Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ plays Appropriate.
Ella’s dad Warren, 88, made his own acting debut as a teenager in love in the Elia Kazan drama Splendor in the Grass in 1961.
His illustrious career has seen him win an Academy Award, three Golden Globe Awards and the BAFTA Fellowship in 2002.
He’s also been nominated for 14 Academy Awards in total including four for Best Actor, four for Best Picture and two for Best Director.
The icon has directed five films, including 1981 epic historical drama Reds and 1990 crime action film Dick Tracy.
Meanwhile, her mum Annette has had her own career spanning over four decades, winning numerous accolades including a BAFTA, two Screen Actors Guild Awards and two Golden Globe Awards.
Warren and Annette met in November 1990 while working on the film Bugsy, where they were playing love interests.
Warren, who also wrote the script, was casting the movie and thought of Annette for the role of Virginia Hill, Bugsy’s girlfriend.
The pair met for lunch to discuss the part and ended up connecting both professionally and personally.
The two tied the knot in 1992 and went on to have four children together, Stephen, 33, Benjamin, 30, Isabel, 28 and Ella.
