Although she acted in The Godfather Part III, Sofia Coppola truly shone behind the camera with films like Lost in Translation and The Virgin Suicides, becoming a celebrated director. Coppola’s acting career was stained by the word ‘nepotism’ as she appeared in eight films directed by her father. Her directional film debut was The Virgin Suicides in 1999. Later Coppola directed Lost in Translation and bagged an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay along with three Golden Globe awards including Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy.
