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.

Strictly Come Dancing's Nadiya Bychkova famous ex and devastating reason for split
Strictly Come Dancing's Nadiya Bychkova famous ex and devastating reason for split Strictly Come Dancing professional Nadiya Bychkova has had a colourful love life, including multiple engagements and high-profile relationships - take a look inside Nadiya has had a rocky road through love (Image: Getty) Nadiya Bychkova, the Ukrainian-born dancer, has been making waves both on the Strictly Come Dancing stage and beyond. Known for her elegant moves, exceptional talent, and mesmerising performances, she's a firm favourite among fans. However, behind the sequins and spotlights, her personal life is a tale of love, heartache, and unwavering commitment to her profession. She split with her footballer fiancé Matija Škarabot, who is also the father of her daughter, Mila, choosing instead to concentrate on her burgeoning career. This isn't the first time Nadiya's romantic life has taken a backseat to her professional pursuits. From multiple engagements to high-profile relationships, Nadiya's personal journey has been anything but calm, reports the Express. Nadiya and Matija Škarabot with their daughter, Mila (Image: instagram ) We delve into her past romances, revealing the passionate and often stormy path that has shaped her. Nadiya and Slovenian footballer Matija Škarabot seemed to be going strong, even welcoming their daughter Mila into the world. However, the demands of a long-distance relationship eventually took their toll. While Matija stayed in Slovenia with Mila, Nadiya's career kept her in the UK, competing on Strictly. The pressures of distance and work commitments ultimately led to their split, with Nadiya quietly deciding to end the relationship. During a particularly difficult period, Nadiya found solace in her close bond with fellow Strictly professional Kai Widdrington. Amidst the emotional strain of her breakup, insiders disclosed that Nadiya was determined to concentrate on her professional life. "She's fiery, passionate, and stunningly sexy," an insider confided to The Sun. Nadiya split from dance partner Miha (Image: Getty) "She approaches her love life the way she approaches the dance floor." Nadiya's romantic history has been closely linked with her fervour for dancing, starting with her initial romance with Miha Vodicar. Together, they not only shared a personal connection but also dominated the dance floor, securing the world champion title in 10 Dance in both 2014 and 2015. Yet, their union faced challenges in 2010 when Nadiya took part in Slovenia's version of Strictly, Star Dance. After their split, Miha later conceded their relationship was "tempestuous" and it "broke [his] heart." Despite the upheaval, Nadiya and Miha continued their dance partnership even as she navigated through the pregnancy with Mila. Miha reflected on the experience: "It took maybe a year for us to really get past it." Ultimately, Nadiya's unwavering commitment to her craft led her to move forward from Miha in both her personal and professional life, maintaining their dance partnership well beyond the end of their romance. Kai Widdrington provided her with much-needed support during this challenging time (Image: Getty) In a touching letter penned to Miha whilst expecting Mila, Nadiya poured out her profound respect and appreciation for their partnership. "When we first danced together, I knew we could succeed," she wrote. "We reached high, more than that, basically everything. In the most beautiful embrace, we danced to the very top. "Now, when our paths diverge, I want you, from the bottom of my heart, to achieve all the goals that you have set yourself," Nadiya penned. Nadiya's love life has witnessed numerous relationships and matrimonial ventures. Following her separation from Peter Klinc, she embarked on a brief romance with renowned Slovenian musician Jan Plestenjak, although their connection proved fleeting. Before long, Nadiya discovered romance once more, this time with Russian performer Sergey Konovaltsev. Their passionate courtship culminated in a spectacular proposal when Sergey theatrically dropped to one knee at a dance competition prize-giving event. Caught off guard by his audacious gesture, Nadiya said yes, subsequently declaring: "I think I've found everything." Nevertheless, their union proved short-lived and the pair separated in 2015. Following this, she sought comfort with businessman Anzet Cerin, although their liaison was similarly fleeting. Article continues below Professing her affection for him openly, Nadiya posted on Facebook: "Since I've met you, there's no one worth thinking about." Yet within 12 months, the relationship had ended.

Fitzy and Wippa reveal the rudest celebrities they've ever interviewed
Michael 'Wippa' Wipfli and Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald have opened up about their most challenging celebrity interviews. The Nova breakfast presenters were discussing their worst celebrity interviews on Thursday morning when Wippa, 45, said the one he did with English singer Taio Cruz was particularly memorable - for all the wrong reasons. 'A one-hit wonder... the producer introduced him as Tayo and he said, "It's Taio mate,"' Wippa began. Show producer Tom then said that Taio only gave 'one word answers', which prompted Wippa to admit he was so unimpressed by him that he refused a photo request. 'At the end of the interview, he wound it up quite quickly, and his publicity guy said, "an you guys get a photo" and we went, 'Nah,"' Wippa said. He added he was also not thrilled by Taio's refusal to take his sunglasses off in the studio. Fitzy then revealed his own bad interview experience, admitting he had a particularly bad chat with James Bond star Daniel Craig. 'Have you got the Daniel Craig audio there when Wippa interviewed him for James Bond? When he said he'd rather suck pus out of an abscess?' Fitzy asked. Craig's comments refer to an Australian interview he conducted in 2012, to promote his movie Skyfall, in which he was asked to demonstrate some of the 'moves' he learned for the role - to which he sniped he would rather suck pus. 'I reckon that was on a Saturday as well. On my weekend, I went to sit down with Daniel Craig and the annoying thing is, Craig thought he was James Bond in the interview,' Wippa chipped in. 'Like it's okay. You're an actor. You're playing a role Daniel!' 'Not really a friendly guy the old Craig of Daniel... man with two first names!' Fitzy added. This is not the first time Fitzy and Wippa have had a particularly awkward celebrity encounter. In 2022, Fitzy revealed on air how Denzel Washington once refused to take a photo with him. 'We were at a restaurant overseas one time and Denzel Washington turned up to the restaurant. And then there was the guy who ran the restaurant, and I started to make my way over to get a photo with Denzel,' he explained. 'Now, the guy who ran the restaurant was like the middleman. So he jumped in right. And I'm asking Denzel "photo?" He jumps in, looks at Denzel. Denzel shakes his head as if to say no, the guy then looks at me and goes "No".' Earlier this year, Wippa was left red-faced when British actor Leo Woodhall snapped at him during an interview after the Nova radio star asked him about his love life. The breakfast host was chatting to Leo and his Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy co-star, Renee Zellweger, about their new movie - and the subject quickly turned to their personal lives. Leo is currently in a relationship with his White Lotus co-star Meghann Fahy and is notoriously private about their romance. 'Leo, are you in love at the moment?' Wippa asked. 'That's none of your business!' Leo snapped back.

Corrie's Suranne Jones plays Prime Minister with rap star for Netflix thriller
After gracing the Weatherfield cobbles and other hit shows, Suranne Jones stars in Netflix's political thriller Hostage, sharing the spotlight with a grime star. Bombshells, diplomacy and danger collide in Matt Charman's new thriller Hostage - and some grime fans might be surprised to see one of their favourite stars grace the screen. From the cobbles of Coronation Street to Doctor Foster, Vigil and Gentleman Jack – winning a TV Bafta on the way – Suranne Jones has cemented herself as one of Britain's best-loved acting talents. Now, the versatile star is taking on her most powerful role yet – quite literally – as the British Prime Minister in Hostage, Netflix 's explosive new political thriller from Oscar-nominated Matt Charman (Bridge Of Spies). In Hostage, Suranne plays Abigail Dalton, a politician plunged into chaos when her husband, Dr Alex Anderson, is kidnapped. And she made sure she was thoroughly prepared and did her homework. 'I don't think I'm allowed to say [who], but I did speak to three really high-up women from different parties,' Suranne, 46, says. 'I read their books and I interviewed them, and that was very exciting.' That attention to detail paid off. Abigail isn't just a PM fighting for her family – she's a woman balancing power and vulnerability. Portraying the latter involved getting close to her co-star and on-screen husband, Ashley Thomas, aka grime star Bashy. 'We did chemistry tests, and when he came in, it was just like, 'Oh, you're intriguing, handsome, lovely, smart, intelligent,'' Suranne remembers. 'And then we met our daughter (Isobel Akuwudike), who is also brilliant. It was her first job.' Ashley also prepared thoroughly to portray medic Alex. He consulted real-life doctors, but it was the emotional weight of Alex's kidnapping that hit the hardest. 'That was tough. Putting yourself in those places is heavy – especially as Alex is a father,' says Ashley. 'The environment I've come from, I've witnessed and experienced a lot of trauma, so there were things I was able to pull from.' While Abigail grapples with domestic turmoil, things aren't calm across the Channel either. French President Vivienne Toussaint – played by French-American actress Julie Delpy – is battling her own political scandal after being blackmailed. During a state visit to the UK, Vivienne is forced to work with Abigail to expose a common enemy, despite their vastly different political backgrounds. 'She's quite conflicted, which I liked,' Julie, 55, says. 'She is someone who started out with ideals but had to give up part of what she believes in to get access to power.' Vivienne is dangerous and captivating – a role that seemed made for Julie, who has spent her career tackling complex characters. 'She might not be a very good person, but she's more than just a bad guy,' Julie adds. But beneath her icy exterior lies a secret: an age-gap relationship that threatens everything. 'A May-September relationship these days isn't a big deal – but this is a little darker and more complicated than that. A little more destructive,' Julie explains. 'Her husband is key in her ascent to power, so to put herself in this situation and put everything at risk is kamikaze.' Hostage shows Vivienne's struggle to keep her Achilles' heel hidden. 'She's good at handling situations and power, but her weakness is her hidden side,' Julie says. 'She's romantically involved with someone she shouldn't be and that's a huge weakness for a politician – especially a woman.' Before Sunrise actress Julie embraced the opportunity to portray someone morally grey. 'I loved the idea of playing someone very different from me,' she says. 'She's not the most likeable of characters, but that's fine with me. If they are unlikeable as a person, you find a way to approach them as a human being. When I played a Nazi character, she was obviously repulsive, but then you have to think that she sees it differently.' Despite Vivienne's complicated personality, Julie found herself intrigued by her. 'It was interesting to see someone that seems so rational and together, but behind the mask, her life is a mess,' she says. 'I'm the opposite – I look messy and crazy, but I would never do what she does!' And when it comes to politics? 'I'm not interested at all [in politics] because of the compromises you would have to make. I don't even do that in the movie business, and you see a lot of people give up their morals to succeed. I'm not able to do that. I'm just not that kind of person.' Julie's first day of filming for Hostage set the tone that the tense series demanded. 'I'm always nervous, and not just on the first day,' she admits. 'My first day on Hostage was a kissing scene – so it was even more stressful than usual. I didn't know this person so I had to switch off my mind a little.' If that wasn't enough, the role involved linguistic hurdles, too. Julie had to learn the more official, formal speeches in English. 'Those are hard enough in your own language, but to do them as a non-native speaker was tough,' she says. Luckily, the tension on screen was offset by the real-life camaraderie with her castmates – particularly Suranne. 'She's a lovely person and a great actress,' Julie says. 'Sometimes, it takes a little time to find your way with certain people, but with Suranne it was immediate. I like communication to be quick and fast and clear, I have no time for ego and she's like that as well. So it made it very easy.' The friendly feelings appear to be mutual. Suranne revealed during a recent appearance on the Table Manners podcast, 'There were a lot of unrepeatable stories, told in the make-up trailer. Julie would be talking in the corner, and then everyone would go quiet!'
