Hell no is Rashida more famous than Quincy
She’s more famous than Peggy Lipton.
Depends on if you grew up watching the Mod Squad or Twin Peaks.

Rashida Jones is no where near as famous, popular or successful as her dad Quincey. Quincey's influence spans generations. I don't even think she is as generational well-known as her mom who was known for Mod Squad and Twin Peaks.

Agreed. These people are all mega famous in their own right and have surpassed their parents, none of whom I can name off the top of my head…

Not sure about this, her parents were pretty huge back in the day.
The jury is definitely still out on Dakota Johnson. Melanie Griffith was in a ton of very popular movies, and Don Johnson was huge in Miami Vice for 5 seasons. Dakota seems famous for 50 Shades of Gray only at this point.
I think this is the age/recency issue. To me, Melanie Griffith is/was more famous than Dakota, and Melanie Griffith was more famous than her mother, but my parents generation might say Tippi Hedren is/was more famous than Melanie.

more famous than Tony Curtis? Again, i's a generational thing I think. I'd say Tony Curtis was definitely the bigger star.

Hmmm. I’d say no to this. Donald Sutherland is a legend whose presence in significant films has spanned decades. He is a legend. This isn’t a knock on Kiefer. He just hasn’t achieved the stature in film that his father has.
I was going to say Kiefer Sutherland, but it's a generational thing. Those of us of a certain age who saw MASH, The Dirty Dozen or Kelly's Heroes would say Donald Sutherland
