Rashida Jones Discusses Nepotism, Fame, and Family Influence

The actress reflects on her upbringing, her parents' advice, and the complexities of fame.

Rashida Jones credits her parents, Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton, for shielding her from the spotlight during her upbringing.
Jones acknowledges the advantages of her family's connections but emphasizes that her career success was not handed to her.
She describes fame as 'pretty poisonous' and shares that she did not become widely recognized until her 30s.
Quincy Jones advised his daughter to leverage her background rather than compete with thousands for job opportunities.
Jones notes that entering the family business is a common historical trend, despite public fascination and resentment towards 'nepo babies.'
