Lizzie is an acquitted American woman who was the main suspect of murdering her dad and stepmum with an axe in 1982.
The actress clearly has acting running through her veins as her dad has had a career as an actor and filmmaker, spanning over six decades.
He played Clyde Barrow in the hit crime film Bonnie and Clyde in 1967 and also produced the project also.
Meanwhile, her mum has starred in 1999 classic American Beauty and superhero film Captain Marvel which released in 2019.
That's right, the star in question is Ella Beatty, daughter of the legendary actor Warren Beatty and Annette Bening.
Ella made her foray into the acting world last year with a recurring role in the FX on Hulu anthology series Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, also directed American Horror Story creator Ryan.
Proving she's a chip off of the old block, she starred on the big screen in A24 drama If I Had Legs I'd Kick You which released earlier this year and made her Broadway debut in Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' plays Appropriate.
Ella's dad Warren, 88, made his own acting debut as a teenager in love in the Elia Kazan drama Splendor in the Grass in 1961.
His illustrious career has seen him win an Academy Award, three Golden Globe Awards and the BAFTA Fellowship in 2002.
He's also been nominated for 14 Academy Awards in total including four for Best Actor, four for Best Picture and two for Best Director.
Bonnie and Clyde - Original trailer for crime and love story with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway
The icon has directed five films, including 1981 epic historical drama Reds and 1990 crime action film Dick Tracy.
Meanwhile, her mum Annette has had her own career spanning over four decades, winning numerous accolades including a BAFTA, two Screen Actors Guild Awards and two Golden Globe Awards.
Warren and Annette met in November 1990 while working on the film Bugsy, where they were playing love interests.
Warren, who also wrote the script, was casting the movie and thought of Annette for the role of Virginia Hill, Bugsy's girlfriend.
The pair met for lunch to discuss the part and ended up connecting both professionally and personally.
The two tied the knot in 1992 and went on to have four children together, Stephen, 33, Benjamin, 30, Isabel, 28 and Ella.

Meghan Markle fans convinced she 'doesn't age' as they learn how old she is now
Meghan Markle is celebrating her birthday and fans can't get over how old she actually is. Many have taken to social media to say the former Suits star 'doesn't age' Meghan Markle marks her 44th birthday today (August 4). The past 12 months have marked many major changes for Meghan, especially since the dawn of 2025, with the launch of her new Instagram account, lifestyle brand, as well as her Netflix cookery show. But despite her busy year, and long-running rift with the Royal Family, she still looks incredibly fresh-faced despite turning another year older. People have flocked to social media to share their well-wishes and many also remarked on how youthful her appearance is. One fan said she just "couldn't believe" how old she was due to her "baby face" and natural beauty. One gushed: "Meghan looks younger than me, and I'm 25." A woman said that looking younger than you are is in "the genes". They added: "My daughter is almost 62, just gone through bowel cancer, never had Botox or anything in her life, doesn't wear heavy makeup, and people think she's around 35-40! I'm 87, and people think I'm around 76! It's in the genes". A third gushed: "It's official – Meghan Markle doesn't age." And a fourth asked: "How can Meghan be turning 44? She looks so young and fresh." Others urged her to make a "skincare line" because "that face card is lethal" – and thankfully, Meghan has done just that. In recent months, Meghan has opened up about her skincare routine. Netflix show – With Love, Meghan – shared a list of her must-have fashion and beauty favourites – and they include a 'glass skin' moisturiser available from Boots. While many of Meghan's favourite products are expensive or only available to buy in the US, one product she recommends is the reasonably priced Collagen Jelly Cream from viral brand Medicube. Previously quite tricky to find here in the UK, the Korean beauty brand has just launched into Boots with a 20% off introductory offer, taking this Collagen Jelly Cream down from £26 to £20.80 for a big 110ml tub (most moisturisers come in 50ml pots). She's also revealed her favourite lip balm to keep her pout looking lovely and juicy, as well as a highlighter that gives her that 'lit-from-within' glow. While products aren't guaranteed ways to turn back the clock, it's definitely interesting to see what's in her beauty bag.

Man Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool stars' 'DMs to Sydney Sweeney' revealed
Sydney Sweeney has been branded as the "most wanted woman in America", with the Euphoria star reportedly being bombarded with messages from Premier League stars in the wake of her split Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney has been inundated with DMs from Premier League footballers following her recent split. The 27-year-old, dubbed 'the sexiest woman in the world ', is now single after parting ways with her former partner, producer Jonathan Davino, earlier this year. The couple started dating in 2018 and got engaged in 2022 but have now called off the wedding. Sydney, who rose to fame with her role in the hit HBO series Euphoria, has also starred in such films as 'Anyone But You' and 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood', and she is reportedly now enjoying the single life stateside post-breakup. However, she's also caught the attention of some of England's top footballers, who have offered to jet her off to Europe for romantic rendezvous. This comes after she snubbed Conor McGregor at a party. An insider revealed to The Sun: "Her Instagram DMs are packed with messages from famous men trying to get in contact with her. It's mostly guys playing for teams like Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal," reports the Daily Star. "They offer her trips to Europe to see them and take her on a date, but she's not the kind of person who does that. Some of them are very insistent and have even tried to find her address to send her flowers, but she always refuses. "I'd say more than 100 people, from celebs to millionaires or very rich people from the Middle East and Asia, contact her every month." Her friends are now reportedly teasing that she's become "the most wanted woman in America since Madonna." Despite the playful tone of some admirers, Sweeney doesn't hesitate to hit back at any overzealous suitors stepping out of line. The source said: "The ones who cross the line of respect are quickly blocked. Not long ago, an American actor who had recently divorced approached her to take her on a date. "She declined and he started being very rude, so she told him to stop talking to her and to show some respect to her and all women." It was rumoured that Sydney and Jonathan's romance had been on shaky ground for a while before they called it quits. Sweeney's jam-packed filming diary is said to have played a part in the split, with her taking on both executive producer duties and the lead role in her latest project, The Housemaid. In May, she opened up about enjoying her newfound single status, saying: "I'm learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends. And I'm loving it." Sweeney has also made waves recently after starring in a campaign for American Eagle. In the advert, she confidently posed sans bra, accompanied by the punchy tagline: "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans".
