GROWING UP WITH FAMOUS PARENTS

Being the child of a glamorous Hollywood couple could not have been simple. In his memoir called "In Search of My Father," he documented how it was like losing his father when he was eight years ago.

As a child, he didn't realize how famous his father was. While the experience of being a kid of someone with such a legacy, Stephen's mother kept him grounded and taught him to take pride in his last name.
