Are there any actors out there who you think are much better actors/actresses than their more established siblings.

Here are some of mine

Elizabeth olsen better than Mary-Kate and Ashley
Blythe Danner better than Gwyneth paltrow
Maggie Gyllenhaal better than Jake Gyllenhaal
Mariska Hargitay better than Jayne Mansfield
Rumer Willis better than Demi Moore and Bruce Willis
Beau Bridges better than Jeff Bridges
Laura Dern better than Cheryl Ladd

    You do realise that some of the people on your list are not actually siblings, right?

    I like both Shirley and Warren but it was her performance in The Apartment that clinched it for me.

    Perhaps siblings wasnt the correct word to use. Apologies to those who i have offended by using the wrong word.

    Let's just say relation, for the sake of arguments.

    Could you explain then where i am wrong?

    Elizabeth and Mary-Kate and Ashley are sisters
    Blythe Danner and Gwyneth paltrow are mother and daughter
    Maggie Gyllenhaal and Jake Gyllenhaal are brother and sister
    Mariska Hargitay and Jayne Mansfield are mother and daughter
    Rumer Willis, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis are mother, daughter and father
    Beau Bridges and Jeff Bridges are brothers
    Laura Dern and Cheryl Ladd are mother and daughter

    I'm not English myself, but 'siblings' means brother or sister

    "Siblings" describes a "brother/ sister, brother/brother, sister/sister," relationship, not parent and child.

    Yep, but it wasn't there when I started composing this post, when my phone rang so I came back to it five minutes later.
