MELANIE GRIFFITH AND DAKOTA JOHNSON

Whilst these two women are powerful in their own right, they actually come from a legacy that has roots in Hollywood’s Golden Age, thanks to Tippi Hedren. These days, it’s Dakota Johnson’s name that is making headlines—thanks to her performance in the film 50 Shades of Grey, there’s no denying that she’s got the same star power that her mother and grandmother have.

Following her stardom in the 50 Shades of Gray, more opportunities arose for Dakota as she also appeared in films such as Black Mass, A Bigger Splash, How To Be Single, and Suspiria. Her most recent starring films include Wounds and The Peanut Butter Falcon. To give her credit, Melanie Griffith was a well-known actress in both film and television during the ’70s. She’s also a film producer and has even had a stage career. The acting gene runs strong in this family and we’re thankful for it!
