The Royal Tenenbaums Cast: Where Are They Now?
The cast of The Royal Tenenbaums remains one of Hollywood’s most iconic onscreen families.
Wes Anderson’s 2001 film follows the lives of three gifted siblings — Chas (Ben Stiller), Richie (Luke Wilson) and Margot Tenenbaum (Gwyneth Paltrow) — who are reunited with their eccentric estranged father, Royal (Gene Hackman).
However, the homecoming is anything but sweet, as Royal reveals he’s dying of a terminal illness and is looking to gain sympathy from them and their mother, his ex-wife Ethel Tenenbaum (Anjelica Huston). Despite Royal’s deceitful reason for his return, the family manages to find a way to reconcile their pasts and move toward a brighter future.
The stylish dramedy — inspired by J.D. Salinger’s short stories and Orson Welles’ 1942 film, The Magnificent Ambersons — also starred Owen Wilson, Bill Murray, Danny Glover, and Alec Baldwin, among others.
In a 2013 interview with Vulture, Anderson revealed he wrote the part of Royal specifically for Hackman. “It was written for him against his wishes,” the director joked. “He was difficult to get.” (Hackman died at age 95 in February 25.)
