What this beautiful and astonishing actress from the 1980s looks like today

Melanie Griffith, daughter of Tippi Hedren, debuted in film at 12, but her personal life mirrored her career’s highs and lows. She married thrice, notably to Antonio Banderas, and raised three children, including Dakota Johnson. Griffith’s children faced challenges, enduring her struggles, rehab, and divorces. Her upbringing was eccentric, with a pet lion, Neil, living with them in the 1970s.

Griffith’s acting career flourished, though marred by a harrowing incident during the filming of “Roar,” where she was mauled by a lion. She rebounded, earning accolades for films like “Working Girl,” yet her personal life remained tumultuous, marked by divorces and reconciliations.

Dakota Johnson, now an actress, navigated a turbulent childhood due to her parents’ divorces, often accompanying them on film sets and undergoing therapy from a young age.

At 65, Griffith, a cancer survivor, remains devoted to family, with her latest film appearance alongside Dakota in “The High Note.” She’s writing her memoir, chronicling her eventful life, including her battle with cancer and advocacy work.

Despite life’s challenges, Griffith’s resilience and compassionate spirit shine through, making her a compelling figure in Hollywood’s tapestry.
