Her eldest daughter Madelyn is an actress and was a regular in Texas Rising, while younger daughter Zoey has had several film and TV roles including Voicemails for Isabelle and The Politician.

Melanie Griffith had huge career success in her twenties during the 1980s, with award-winning performances in films like Working Girl. And her daughter Dakota Johnson has also enjoyed stardom of her own, including playing the lead role in the Fifty Shades of Grey series.
Dakota knew from a young age that she wanted to be a star, but her parents "discouraged her" from acting. "See how well that turned out? But I understood. They wanted me to have as much of a childhood as I could," she told W Magazine.
