"All the famous sons and daughters we chose to feature would make any parent incredibly proud," Monique Chenault, Senior Producer for "TV One Access," said. "They all share truly impressive work ethics and a fierce determination to succeed."

The celebrity children featured include reality television stars like Nicole Richie, who has developed her own clothing line and is possibly on her way to becoming more famous than her father, legendary singer Lionel Richie. Jaden Smith, son of actor Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith, acted alongside his dad in 2006's "Pursuit of Happyness" and has been steadily acting ever since. Jaden has starred in everything from Disney's "Suite Life of Zack and Cody" to 2008's "The Day the Earth Stood Still." Also featured is rapper-turned-college student, Percy "Lil' Romeo" Miller Jr., who is the son of entertainment mogul and entrepreneur, Master P. By age fifteen, Miller already had several hit records and his own show on Nickelodeon.

The Simmons received an MTV reality spin-off based on their standout personalities on the MTV show "Run's House," with the show titled "Daddy's Girls." Vanessa is a model and aspiring actress who has made a name for herself on the soap opera "Guiding Light," and Angela works as the executive editor of her own magazine. Also profiled are the children of Quincy Jones, Diana Ross, basketball great Magic Johnson, and the late rapper Eazy E.
