Apocalypse Now

Francis Ford Coppola / Sofia Coppola: Dad was a young film prodigy ("Finian's Rainbow," "The Godfather," "Apocalypse Now") so it made perfect sense for talented daughter Sofia to jump into showbiz too. An early misstep into acting ("The Godfather: Part III") didn't affect her ... moretrue calling, directing. From her first affecting feature, "The Virgin Suicides" to the career-making "Lost in Translation," Coppola fille has made her distinctive, dreamy mark in her very own oeuvre.
