Sofia Coppola
Sofia Coppola, the youngest daughter of Francis Coppola, is a well-known director of this age. She appeared in his father's movies for small roles but could get the appreciation from the audience. She said she wasn't interested in her acting, so that couldn't backfire on her. She made her directorial debut in the film The Virgin Suicides in 1999.
This film received an Oscar award for the original screenplay. She was the third woman ever to be nominated as a director.
Sofia married director Spike Jonze in 1999, and her marriage ended in 2003. She dated another director, Quentin Tarantino, but the relationship didn't go well. She married Thomas Mars back in 2006, and the couple have two daughters, Romy Mars and Cosima Mars.

He was cast in a starring role for many movies like Face/Off, National Treasure, Moonstruck, and Arizona. He won the best actor award for his role in Leaving Las Vegas in 1996.
Nicolas has been married five times. Patricia Arquette, Lisa Marrie Presley, Alice Kim, and Erika Koike were the ones whom he married and divorced. He married Riko Shibata in Las Vegas in 2021. Once, in an interview, he said five is a big number, but he thinks he made the right decision this time.

Part 1. How to Draw a Family Tree?
A family tree is usually drawn using two methods. One is from scratch, and the other one is using a template. We will discuss both these methods in this part.
Method 1: Starting from Scratch
Starting from scratch means you will put everything on the canvas and draw relationships among the components to get things ready. Here is how you can do it.
Step 1: Open EdrawMax, and click New> Family Tree.
Step 2: You will find Image Containers at the left-hand side of the screen from where you need to drag them in the canvas to use them.
Step 3: Arrange all the image containers and label them all with correct information like names and dates of birth if necessary.
Step 4: Connect the image containers with the help of connectors given on top of the screen.
Step 5: Add images in these containers to make your family tree more useful.
Step 6: Add a background and colour the canvas to make it visually appealing.
Your family tree diagram is ready.
Method 2: Starting with a Template
Starting with a template means you have all the components, like image containers and connectors, available in it. All you need to do is to fill those containers or replace the given ones with yours. Let's see how to do it.
Step 1: Open EdrawMax, click templates> Enter Family tree in the search bar.
Step 2: Let the tool complete its search and bring the best templates based on the keywords added in the search bar.
Step 3: Find the best template for you and click use immediately.
Step 4: The template will appear on the canvas for you to make changes to it. You will edit the details and make your family tree.
This saves a lot of time and relaxes you as you don't need to do much. If you're not a specialist designer, you'll be able to edit the files easily as all the things are placed correctly on the canvas. If you need more components, you can easily make copies of the components yourself.
