"If they could cut off my head and put it onto another body that was, like, 20 years old, I would do that."
| Date of Birth: August 9, 1957 |
| Birthplace: New York City |

| Melanie has appeared in more than thirty films, most notably 1988's Working Girl and 1997's Lolita, but is perhaps more renowned for her off-screen exploits, such as her two separate marriages to Don Johnson, and her current marriage to Antonio Banderas. |

| We're fascinated by Melanie because we just can't get our heads around her. Every time we think we have her figured out, she'll go and do something to make us realize that we're completely off base. She's proven herself as a talented actress, and has been vocal about her commitment to her family and her dedication to charitable organizations, but a dark past suggests another side to her life. |

Melanie Griffith was born August 9, 1957, in New York City, into a family of celebrity. Her father Peter Griffith was a well-known and respected businessman, while her mother, Tippi Hedren, gained her fame by starring in a number of Alfred Hitchcock films, most notably The Birds (playing a character that Melanie was named after), as well as being the supposed object of the director's persistent wooing.
Melanie's half-sister, Tracy Griffith, also emerged into the public eye through her television and film work, while Melanie went on to make her own contributions to the collective Griffith family name.
Melanie's parents divorced four years after her birth, and she moved to California to be raised by her mother. Any strange preconception of being raised by a Hollywood actress could only have been heightened in the early '70s when Tippi, her interest spurred by a 1969 trip to Africa to film Satan's Harvest, began converting the family residence into the Shambala Preserve, an exotic animal ranch that she maintains to this day. |
