I met you, Romy, shortly after you were born,

I never saw the point of taking little kids to movie premieres and stuff. I just want them to have a childhood.

Coppola’s Reflection on Growing Up in a Famous Family
During a speech at MoMA’s 2025 Film Benefit, Coppola highlighted how the perception of children from famous families has changed over the years. She recalled her own early film career in the 1990s Los Angeles environment, marked by skepticism toward her abilities despite her family name.
When I started, I was in my 20s, and it was the ’90s in LA, where I was known as the daughter of. This was before nepo babies were charming and most of them ended up in rehab, and I was the amateur actress who single-handedly ruined the Godfather films,
she joked.
Most people didn’t think I had something to say that mattered, but I found a few that did.

Children’s Perspectives on Coppola’s Films
Sofia shared her daughters’ opinions about her body of work, which includes films such as The Virgin Suicides, Marie Antoinette, The Bling Ring, The Beguiled, and Priscilla. While her younger daughter Cosima has yet to see all her movies, she has expressed some appreciation for them, even if typical teenage reluctance to endorse a parent’s work is present.
The younger one hasn’t seen all of my movies, but they begrudgingly like my movies,
Sofia told Vanity Fair.
I showed the younger one Marie Antoinette before we went to visit Versailles recently, and she was like, ‘I liked it.’ She admitted she liked it, but of course, teenagers don’t want to like their mom’s stuff.
