Melanie Richards Griffith (born August 9, 1957) is an American actress. She began her career in the 1970s, appearing in several independent thriller films before achieving mainstream success in the mid-1980s. Born in New York City to actress Tippi Hedren and advertising executive Peter Griffith, she was raised mainly in Los Angeles, where she graduated from the Hollywood Professional School at age 16. In 1975, a then 17-year-old Griffith appeared opposite Gene Hackman in Arthur Penn's film noir Night Moves. She later rose to prominence for her role portraying a pornographic actress in Brian De Palma's thriller Body Double (1984), which earned her a National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Supporting Actress. Griffith's subsequent performance in the comedy Something Wild (1986) garnered critical acclaim before she was cast in 1988's Working Girl, which earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress and won her a Golden Globe. The 1990s had Griffith in a series of roles that received varying critical reception; she received Golden Globe nominations for her performances in Buffalo Girls (1995), and as Marion Davies in RKO 281 (1999), while also earning a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress for her performances in Shining Through (1992), as well as receiving nominations for Crazy in Alabama (1999) and John Waters' cult film Cecil B. Demented (2000). Other credits include John Schlesinger's Pacific Heights (1990), Milk Money (1994), the neo-noir film Mulholland Falls (1996), as Charlotte Haze in Adrian Lyne's Lolita (1997), and Another Day in Paradise (1998). She later starred as Barbara Marx in The Night We Called It a Day (2003), and spent the majority of the 2000s appearing on such television series as Nip/Tuck, Raising Hope, and Hawaii Five-0. After acting on stage in London, in 2003, she made her Broadway debut in a revival of the musical Chicago, receiving celebratory reviews. In the 2010s, Griffith returned to film, starring opposite then-husband Antonio Banderas in the science-fiction film Autómata (2014) and as an acting coach in James Franco's The Disaster Artist (2017).

Melanie Richards Griffith (* 9. August 1957 in New York City) ist eine US-amerikanische Schauspielerin. Das erste Mal stand sie im Alter von nur 12 Jahren in Smith! – Ein Mann gegen alle (1969) vor der Kamera. Ihre erste größere Rolle erhielt sie 1975 im Film Die heiße Spur. Im Jahr 1977 zeigte sie sich in dem Film „Garten der Zuflucht“ unbekleidet. In den späten 1980ern und frühen 1990ern gehörte sie zu den größten Stars in Hollywood und drehte unter der Regie von Abel Ferrara, Brian De Palma, Jonathan Demme, Robert Redford, Mike Figgis, Mike Nichols und John Schlesinger. Danach hatte sie weniger Glück mit ihrer Rollenwahl – so drehte sie etwa mit ihrem Mann Don Johnson eine Neuverfilmung des französischen Jugendfilms Am großen Weg – und spielte nur noch selten in Ensemblefilmen wie Nobody’s Fool – Auf Dauer unwiderstehlich, Nach eigenen Regeln und dem Woody-Allen-Film Celebrity – Schön. Reich. Berühmt..

France French (Français)

Née le 9 août 1957 à New York, Melanie Griffith est la fille de l'actrice Tippi Hedren, icône hitchcockienne. Elle grandit dans l'univers du spectacle et fait ses premiers pas devant la caméra à neuf mois dans une publicité. Elle débute véritablement au cinéma en 1975 dans La Fugue d'Arthur Penn, où elle s'installe dans une image de blonde évaporée. C'est Brian De Palma qui lui offre son premier rôle marquant dans Body Double (1984), suivi de Dangereuse sous tous rapports de Jonathan Demme (1986). En 1988, Working Girl de Mike Nichols la transforme : elle y incarne une secrétaire ambitieuse face à Sigourney Weaver et Harrison Ford, performance qui lui vaut le Golden Globe de la meilleure actrice et une nomination à l'Oscar. La décennie 1990 mêle succès et désillusions, entre Le Bûcher des vanités de Brian De Palma et des films plus confidentiels comme Another Day in Paradise (1998), salué comme l'une de ses meilleures compositions. Elle est également la mère de Dakota Johnson, née de son union avec l'acteur Don Johnson, et de Stella Banderas, née de son mariage avec Antonio Banderas.
