I've always admired Jeff and Beau Bridges as actors. Actually, I didn't see many of their father Lloyd Bridges' movies (nor his television films), but have always read that the Bridges family was a 'real' family. Jeff Bridges' daughters' wrote a very moving tribute about their grandmother Dorothy that Jeff shares on his website.
