Literally christened into a filmmaking career, the third child and only daughter of Francis Ford Coppola and Eleanor Coppola was born in Manhattan in the spring of 1971, during the production of her father's masterpiece, The Godfather. When it came time to shoot the baptism scene near the end of the film, the elder Coppola didn't have to look very far for an infant, and the epic became the impromptu actress' first, uncredited role.

Celebrated young director Sofia Coppola began working in the family business at a very young age indeed. However, it would be screenwriting and directing, and not acting, that would most pique her interests. She went on to appear in several other of her father's films (credited as Domino) playing bit parts in the features "Rumble Fish" and "The Outsiders" (both 1983) and "The Cotton Club" (1984).
