Sofia Coppola Fast Facts:
  • Was 3 months old when she made her film debut in The Godfather's baptism scene; subsequently appeared as a toddler in The Godfather, Part II.
  • Interned at Chanel's Paris headquarters for two summers as a teenager.
  • Dropped out of Mills College as a freshman when her father, Francis Ford Coppola, picked her to replace an ailing Winona Ryder as Mary Corleone in The Godfather, Part III; since she was the daughter of the director and had no significant acting experience, the choice was controversial and critics lambasted her performance.
  • Launched her Milk Fed clothing line in 1994.
  • Like the Hustons (Walter, John and Anjelica), there are three generations of Oscar winners in the family: Sophia; her father, Francis Ford Coppola; her grandfather Carmine Coppola; and cousin Nicolas Cage.
