Younger siblings who matched or exceeded their famous older siblings

Shirley MacLaine was born three years earlier than her brother Warren Beatty, racking up two Oscar nominations before he did his first feature film, "Splendor In The Grass." But Beatty had more desire to produce than his sister, spearheading the development of 1967's "Bonnie and Clyde," which he also starred in. Beatty went on to critical and commercial successes with "Shampoo" and "Heaven Can Wait," both of which he co-wrote, and he won Best Director at the Oscars for "Reds." MacLaine remained proud of her talented, lothario brother, but at the 1979 Oscars she joked, "Imagine what you could accomplish if you tried celibacy."

Ben Affleck has always looked out for his little brother, Casey, casting him in "Good Will Hunting" and directing him in "Gone Baby Gone." But while Ben has won Oscars for writing "Good Will Hunting" and producing "Argo," he's never gotten the kind of acting acclaim that his brother has. Casey got a Best Supporting Actor nomination for "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" and won Best Actor for "Manchester By The Sea." Now Casey is following in his brother's footsteps by writing and directing his first film, "Light Of My Life," and though he's a little small for the part, he could take over for Ben again, since Warner Bros. still needs a new Batman.

Somehow, playing the less-famous younger brother to a movie star on "Entourage" actually made Kevin Dillon more famous than his brother Matt temporarily. While Kevin was starring in HBO's hit comedy, Matt was making movies like "Herbie: Fully Loaded" and "Old Dogs." Though Matt remains a consistent leading man, Kevin hasn't been in a lot, post-"Entourage," as playing Johnny Drama may have kept him from acting in actual dramas.

Jonny Greenwood was 14 years old when his older brother, Colin, invited him to join, On A Friday, the band he formed with Thom Yorke. Greenwood was initially the harmonica player and quickly became the band's lead guitarist, while the band became Radiohead once it signed a record deal. Colin is a fine bass player and multi-instrumentalist, but Jonny progressed so far musically that he's done the score for all of Paul Thomas Anderson's films since "There Will Be Blood," getting his first Oscar nomination for "The Phantom Thread."

Of the four Baldwin brothers, Alec is clearly the alpha and has by far the greatest career. But it wasn't always so clear cut, particularly in the early '90s when Alec was making "The Marrying Man" and "The Getaway." Suddenly William looked like a rising star with "Backdraft" and "Flatliners" and even won Most Desirable Male at the MTV Movie Awards for "Sliver." Stephen made "Threesome" and the critically acclaimed "The Usual Suspects" then followed it up with "Bio Dome," which opened the door for Alec to retake his perch atop the Baldwin hierarchy. 

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were gigantic child stars who formed their own wildly lucrative production company, Dualstar. They've been named the 11th-richest women in entertainment, they're designers, they had their own giant fan club, they have their own fashion line in Oslo Norway and they proved "How The West Was Fun." But have they ever fought Thanos to a standstill, like their sister Elizabeth, who plays the Scarlet Witch? We didn't think so.

Rooney Mara is only two years younger than her sister, Kate, but she got into acting much later. In fact, her first acting experience was doing extra work in projects that Kate was starring in. But Rooney quickly rose up the acting ranks, first with a memorable role as Mark Zuckerberg's love interest in "The Social Network." She became a star when David Fincher cast her again, as the lead in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." (Fincher must love that family because he also chose Kate for "House of Cards.") Rooney got an Oscar nomination for "Carol," but Kate will get her due once there is a gritty reboot of "Fantastic Four." 

Eli Manning quietly followed in the footsteps of his more famous and gregarious older brother. Peyton Manning was the No. 1 overall pick in 1998; Eli went No. 1 in 2004. Peyton won his first Super Bowl in 2007; Eli won his first in 2008. But Eli got his second Super Bowl ring in 2012, forcing Peyton to hang on through age 39 to get his second championship, because he wasn't ever going to retire one shy of his little brother.

Elle Fanning had her first acting role at the age of 2 when she appeared in "I Am Sam" as the younger version of her sister, Dakota, which was similar to her role as the "future granddaughter" of Dakota's character in "Charlotte's Web." (She also played the younger version of Cate Blanchett in "Benjamin Button.") Elle acted all through her childhood, but her biggest showcase role came in "Super 8," where she showed plenty of poise and acting chops as an experienced 13-year-old veteran actress. This fall she'll again play the pre-sleep beauty Princess Aurora in "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil."

Anne Brontë was the youngest of the three literary Brontë sisters and may have been the most outstanding talent. In 1847, Charlotte Brontë wrote "Jane Eyre," Emily Brontë wrote "Wuthering Heights" and Anne put out "Agnes Grey." Emily died in 1848, and Anne in 1849, but before her death Anne wrote a second novel, "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall," which was a seminal work of feminist literature. However, it was appreciated after its time, since Charlotte so disapproved of the "coarseness" of the novel that she refused to allow its republication after Anne died.

Tia Mowry rose to fame as one half of the "Sister Sister" duo, along with her slightly older twin sister, Tamera. They also starred in "Twitches" and "Twitches Too" for the Disney Channel but started to pursue more individual acting roles as they got older, though they still did three seasons of a reality show together. Tia was on "The Game" for five seasons and has subsequently written a book and hosted her own cooking show, "Tia Mowry At Home."

The whole Arquette family has a show business background: Both parents were actors and so were five of the children. Patricia's older sister, Rosanna, hit it big first with "Desperately Seeking Susan" in 1985, though she was not the inspiration for Toto's song "Rosanna." Patricia's big break came in "True Romance," one year before Rosanna was in her own Quentin Tarantino project, "Pulp Fiction." Patricia worked steadily and to great acclaim, taking home acting awards for "Medium" and "Escape From Dannemora" and winning an Oscar for "Boyhood" in 2014.

Even though David Arquette has never received the critical accolades of his sisters Rosanna and Patricia, he's been in the biggest box office hit of them all with his role in the "Scream" franchise, somehow surviving all four films and at least eight killers. He's also made two Muppet movies and briefly reigned as the World Championship Wrestling heavyweight champion.

Serena Williams is just 16 months younger than her sister Venus, and as such they've had an extended professional rivalry. They've played each other 30 times in tournaments, with Serena holding an 18-12 advantage, including wins in four straight Grand Slam finals. Serena won a Grand Slam first, but Venus won Wimbledon first after defeating Serena in the semi-finals. Overall, Serena has been the superior player, but Venus is one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Perhaps that's why they're so unbeatable as a doubles team, collecting 14 Grand Slam titles and three Olympic golds as a duo.

While calling Kylie Jenner a "self-made billionaire" may be controversial, there's no doubting that her cosmetics company is wildly successful, even by the standards of Kardashian family businesses. Kylie is younger than half sisters Kim, Khloe and Kourtney, and even younger than her sister Kendall. And she built her empire without any fake marriages to NBA stars!

Jason Bateman's older sister, Justine, was playing Mallory on the hit sitcom "Family Ties" before his career got into full swing. Jason was on "Little House on the Prairie" and played the best friend on "Silver Spoons" before he got his own show "It's Your Move." It wasn't until the "The Hogan Family" that Jason became a true teen idol, overcoming the flop of "Teen Wolf Too." After a long acting hiatus in the '90s, Jason returned to stardom with "Arrested Development," and in the show's third season, Justine guest-starred as his fake long-lost sister.

It's hard to think of a brother-sister pair with so opposite an on-screen image as Julia and Eric Roberts. Julia has been America's sweetheart since "Pretty Woman" (and later starred in "America's Sweethearts"), while Eric is America's creepy uncle. Eric had memorable parts in "The Pope of Greenwich Village" and got an Oscar nomination for "Runaway Train" before drug addiction derailed his career. Meanwhile, Julia has been one of the world's biggest movie stars and won an Oscar, though Eric has her beat in one category: total credits. He's now been in 532 projects, ranging from "Sorority Slaughterhouse" to Rihanna videos.

While Fred Savage's "The Wonder Years" is a beloved sitcom classic, brother Ben's "Boy Meets World" actually had 43 more episodes. In fact, if you include the spin-off, "Girl Meets World," it's 115 more episodes. Ben started his career tagging along with Fred with roles in "Little Monsters" and "Wonder Years," but by the late '90s, Ben was becoming a beloved child star while Fred was taking a step back from acting and becoming a go-to director for comedies like "Party Down" and "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia." Fred's got a wonderful career, but Ben was the Tiger Beat favorite 20 years ago.

While it doesn't fit his current tough-guy image, Mark Wahlberg was an original member of the boy band New Kids On The Block, where his older brother Donnie was the breakout star. The New Kids took off while Mark turned to a life of crime, ending up in jail after a series of racially motivated attacks. After spending time in juvenile hall, he was in The Funky Bunch, before breaking into acting and leaving his "Marky Mark" name behind — though not his felony record. Donnie established a solid acting career of his own, and the two brothers have also started their own burger chain, Wahlburgers, with their other brother, Paul.

Joaquin Phoenix was acting from a young age, going by "Leaf Phoenix" until he was 15, but his brother, River, was a huge star as a kid. River made "Stand By Me," "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" and "Running On Empty," for which he got an Oscar nomination at age 18. River died tragically at age 23, but Joaquin carved out an impressive career of his own, with roles in "Her," "The Master," "Gladiator" and "Walk The Line," among many others. It's just a shame to think of what he and River could have done together.

Jeff Bridges and his older brother, Beau, were raised in show business, occasionally appearing in father Lloyd Bridges' projects as kids, including "Sea Hunt." Both brothers worked steadily, but the younger Jeff was catapulted to fame with his role in "The Last Picture Show," which got him the first of his two Oscar nominations in the '70s. The two reunited in 1989 for "The Fabulous Baker Boys," and while Beau took home three Emmys during the '90s, Jeff remained the bigger movie star.

Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen (born Carlos Estevez) both appeared in Terrence Malick's "Badlands" as little kids back in 1973, a film that starred their dad, Martin Sheen. Emilio got a head start on his younger brother, starring in "The Outsiders," "The Breakfast Club" and the cult classic "Repo Man." But Charlie started to gain ground after a memorable role in another John Hughes movie, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," before teaming up with Oliver Stone for "Platoon" and "Wall Street." The two brothers made the garbage man comedy "Men At Work" together, which Emilio wrote and directed, and Emilio once guest-starred on Charlie's "Two And A Half Men." Still, while Charlie remains the bigger star, to Emilio's credit, he hasn't spent any time in jail.

Kieran Culkin made his film debut in "Home Alone," as Fuller McAllister, the bed-wetting cousin of brother Macauley's character, Kevin. And while Macauley took a long hiatus from acting after his incredible childhood superstardom, Kieran managed to transition from child to adult actor, delivering solid performances in "Igby Goes Down" and on TV in "Fargo." Currently he plays the hedonistic and deeply sad Roman Roy on "Succession," while Macauley is mourning the breakup of his pizza-themed Velvet Underground cover band, the Pizza Underground.

While his older brother, Randy, made great films in the '70s like "The Last Picture Show," "The Last Detail" and "Midnight Express," Dennis Quaid came along later but had a more lasting career. After his breakthrough role in "Breaking Away," Dennis went on to star in "The Right Stuff" and "The Big Easy," and while Randy continued to work steadily in the "Vacation" movies and saved the world in "Independence Day," legal troubles derailed his career. 

Look, Ralph Fiennes has easily had the superior career over all, starring in Best Picture winners "Schindler's List" and "The English Patient" and terrifying children as Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter films. For a brief moment in 1998, he was the less-successful Fiennes brother. That honor went to his younger brother Joseph, who played the title role in "Shakespeare In Love" while Ralph was making dual bombs "The Avengers" and "Prince of Egypt." Of course, Joseph squandered the advantages of momentum and his more pronounceable name when he made "Rancid Aluminium" as a follow-up, a movie considered one of the worst films of all time.

Cole Sprouse is 15 minutes younger than his twin brother, Dylan, and they acted together for years, first in "Big Daddy," and then in the various "Suite Life" adventures of twins Zack and Cody. The first sign of separation came when Cole played Ben, the neglected son of Ross Geller, on "Friends," but Cole moved past his older brother when he landed the role of Jughead Jones on "Riverdale." Though it wouldn't be at all surprising if Riverdale did a plotline where Dylan appeared as "Jarhead Jones," Jughead's long-lost twin from the Marines.
