"Dancing with the Stars" contestant Mira Sorvino has followed in her late father’s acting footsteps, but she admits it wasn’t an easy journey. Mira, the daughter of late "Goodfellas" actor Paul Sorvino, shared how her father would criticize her acting – but in the nicest way possible.

"If I was acting, he'd be really, really harsh," Mira told Fox News Digital. "… but in a kind way." The "Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion" star also noted that her father's bold advice helped transform her into an Oscar winner.
