Melanie Griffith is the daughter of Hollywood icon, Tippi Hedren, an Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner. She rose to the A-list in the 80s working with directors like Brian De Palma, Mike Nichols and Jonathan Demme. But after a promising decade, she stumbled and fell off the a-List in the 90s.

What the hell happened?

She really has not aged well.It's weird because her mom is still beautiful.

And it looks like some plastic surgeon did a really bad job on a face lift. I saw a recent pic and I didn't even recognize her til I say the caption on the photo.

She's been smoking since she was 14. It goes without saying, except to a smoker, that she will not age well. It was her choice.

She made a series of bad films after Working Girl which did not help her career, including BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES, PARADISE and SHINING THROUGH. The other problem was that Melanie was never a very good actor. Her baby voice seemed to reduce her ability to show any range. Add her many years of substance abuse and smoking which took its toll on her looks. She thought plastic surgery would restore her once beautiful looks, but it did the opposite. Made her look shocking! She's an idiot for not kicking the smoking habit.

Her career lasted longer than it should have. She is now grandmother age, but all the plastic surgery and ego keeps her from playing old.

When I first wrote this entry on Melanie Griffith, I stuck to her career and didn’t get into too many of the details of her personal life. As a result, I missed the fact that she was mauled by a lion! This newly updated version of the article includes all of the bizarre details of how Griffith grew up surrounded by wild animals – not to mention Don Johnson. It may be the most bizarre WTHHT yet.
