HOLLYWOOD BRIDGES

Emmy winner Beau Bridges, 80, comes from a renowned acting dynasty. His latest project, Acting: The First Six Lessons (March 8 on iTunes and other streaming platforms), is a master class in performing, directed by his daughter, Emily, 35, and featuring interviews with his Hollywood family, including brother Jeff Bridges and their late father, Lloyd. Here are some other Bridges family don’t-miss performanc­es and fun facts.

◀ The only time Beau and Jeff teamed up was for The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989).

▶ Beau’s Emmys are for The Second Civil War (1997), The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleade­r-Murdering Mom (1993) and Without Warning: The James Brady Story (1991).

◀ Jeff won an Academy Award playing a country singer in Crazy Heart (2009), but he’s perhaps best known as “The Dude” in The Big Lebowski (1998).

▶ Lloyd may be most famous for his TV drama series Sea Hunt (1958– 61), but he wrapped up his career in a comedy bow with Airplane! (1980), Hot Shots! (1991) and Mafia! (1998).
