Who Is Sam Waterston's Famous Daughter?

Katherine Waterston is best known for playing Tina Goldstein in 2016's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," opposite Eddie Redmayne's Newt Scamander. She reprised the role in the 2018 sequel "The Crimes of Grindelwald," and will definitely appear again in 2022's "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore" — though her absence from the trailer confused and worried some fans. Fear not, muggles: Tina is too important to the franchise, particularly as Newt's love interest and eventual wife, not to appear in the film.

But while Tina may be the role Katherine is best known for, it certainly wasn't her first. She also starred in the Joaquin Phoenix-led film "Inherent Vice," directed by Paul Thomas Anderson in 2014, and made her big-screen debut in 2007's "Michael Clayton," opposite megastar George Clooney. She also had a recurring role as Emma Harrow in the HBO series "Boardwalk Empire," and appeared in the films "Alien: Covenant" and "Sleeping with Other People," among others.

Surprisingly, Katherine didn't get her start on "Law & Order," despite her father's connection to the show. When Jimmy Fallon asked her if she'd worked with Dad on the show, she groaned. "This is like one of those moments where I wish I could come up with some fake news on the spot," she said. But no, despite auditioning several times, she claimed, "I couldn't even get a callback on that show."
