The Huston family was the first with three generations of Oscar winners, starting with John Huston's wins in 1949 for Best Director and Best Writing, Screenplay.
Anjelica Huston won her own Oscar in 1986 for Best Supporting Actress for Prizzi's Honor, a film directed by her father.
The Coppola family achieved a similar feat with Francis Ford Coppola, Sofia Coppola, and Carmine Coppola all winning Oscars, but they were not directly responsible for each other's wins.
