Acting runs in Melanie Griffith's family.
Her mom Tippi Hedren got her start as a model before she got her big break when director Alfred Hitchcock discovered her and cast her in his 1963 classic, The Birds. From then on, Hedren starred in other films such as Marnie, Through the Eyes of a Killer, Pacific Heights and more.
In 1957, Hedren and then-husband Peter Griffith welcomed Melanie, who went on to forge her own illustrious career in Hollywood. Melanie — the star of films such as Joy Ride, Paradise, Mulholland Falls and more — would welcome her first daughter, Dakota Johnson, in 1989, who continues to carry the leading lady torch.
As Griffith celebrates her 69th birthday on Aug. 9, 2026, check out some of the special moments the three generations of actresses have shared in public through the years.
