Which celebrity mom belongs to Melanie Griffith?

Melanie Griffith’s celebrity mother is actress Tippi Hedren. Hedren became famous for her performances in Alfred Hitchcock’s films The Birds and Marnie before raising a daughter who became a major Hollywood star herself.

Griffith was born in Manhattan on August 9, 1957, to Hedren and Peter Griffith, a former child actor and advertising executive. Her parents separated when she was two, and she was raised mainly in Los Angeles. Growing up around the film industry helped shape her early interest in acting.

Melanie Griffith first gained major attention in films such as Body Double and Something Wild. Her best-known breakthrough came with Working Girl in 1988, earning her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress and a Golden Globe win.

A common mix-up is confusing Griffith’s mother with her famous children. Griffith is the mother of actress Dakota Johnson, known for the Fifty Shades films, while Tippi Hedren is Griffith’s parent. Hedren also appeared in the 1963 Hitchcock classic The Birds.
