Here’s the Scoop

Is Hollywood’s elite basking in the glow of nepotism? Actress Maya Hawke, daughter of Tinseltown luminaries Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, candidly admitted she snagged her role in Tarantino’s 2019 film “Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood” thanks to her famous lineage.

Hawke confessed, “I never meant to imply that I didn’t get the part for nepotistic reasons — I think I totally did.”

She’s not alone. Tarantino’s casting call included other celebrity offspring like Margaret Qualley and Rumer Willis.

Yet, when asked if she deserved the part, Hawke responded, “‘Deserves’ is a complicated word… but I think I’m comfortable with not deserving it and doing it anyway.”

The actress acknowledges that her life is one of privilege, stating, “It’s OK to be made fun of when you’re in rarefied air. It’s a lucky place to be.”

Hawke, now a household name from “Stranger Things,” continues to climb the Hollywood ladder, recently promoting “Wildcat,” directed by her father.

Despite criticism, Ethan Hawke, a four-time Academy Award winner, supports their collaborations, saying, “You have to let people have their opinion. You just have to try to do a good job when you’re onstage.”
