Celebrities with normal and accomplished parents

The sad Britney Spears drama, with her lowlife dad trying to manipulate her, got me to thinking. Armie Hammer and his creepy fam too.

Which celebs have super normal, dare I say pillars of the community, parents?

I'll begin by nominating DL lightning rod Zach Braff, whose father Hal was a well-regarded NJ lawyer and philanthropist, raising millions for Weequahic High School in Newark.

Taylor Swift's father is a successful stockbroker.

Natalie Portman's father is a doctor.

Katie Holmes' father is a successful attorney who helped her plan her getaway from psycho Tom.

He's not normal, but Lindsay Lohan's father became a Wall Street trader at age 20 and was a millionaire by 30.

Michael Lohan seems like he could have been smart and successful were it not for having a major booze problem.

There are probably more celebrities with normal parents than without. It's just that media loves to focus on the crazy ones with the shitty parents. Also Lindsay and Britney were paparazzi whores who put themselves out there. Lindsay and Britney actually were more fucked up their moms who primarily raised them and pushed them into stardom.

Well, someone said Lindsay Lohan's dad was "normal" and "accomplished." The bar's low here.

You have to acknowledge that the reason we know these parents are shitty parents is because they forced themselves into the spotlight as well. You never see the families of the stars raised by normal and accomplished parents all over the media.

R9 I actually acknowledged that he wasn't normal. And as far as being accomplished, at least in his younger years he was.
