Hollywood star Ben Stiller, the son of the legendary comedians Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, insisted that Hollywood was “ultimately” a “meritocracy” after criticism surfaced of the new film “The Rightway,” which is directed by Steven Spielberg’s daughter Destry, written by author Stephen King’s son Owen King, and features a cast of children of famous actors.
The comment from Stiller was precipitated by Vanity Fair contributing editor Franklin Leonard, who tweeted, “Hollywood’s a meritocracy, right?” in response to a tweet that noted, “Hopper Penn (Sean Penn’s son) and Brian D’Arcy James have been cast in ‘THE RIGHTWAY’ from director Destry Spielberg (Steven Spielberg’s daughter) and writer Owen King (Stephen King’s son).”
