What this beautiful and astonishing actress from the 1980s looks like today

Melanie Griffith is one of those actresses who has always enchanted audiences with her charm and exotic looks. Being the daughter of blonde bombshell actress Tippi Hedren it didn’t come as a surprise that Griffith was exposed to the public life from early age. Her mother found fame after director Alfred Hitchcock spotted her in a commercial. From that moment on, she became his muse and someone he was very fond of.

Griffith first appeared in a commercial when she wasn’t even a year old. However, her life hasn’t been a perfect one. In the past, she was involved in a car accident, battled drinking problems and went through three divorces. Her childhood, however, was extravagant in many ways. For one, she grew up around exotic animals. Her mother took a lion in their home in order to get familiar to be around such animals for the sake of a film project which later didn’t turn out well as young Griffith was injured during filming.

”I grew up with lions, tigers, and two elephants,” Griffith said.

The lion, Neil, lived with the family and photos of their everyday living was documented by Life Magazine. The lion shared a bed with Griffith and slept under blankets, with the actress resting her head on his back.

”It was stupid beyond belief,” Griffith later explained.

As young child, Griffith did some modeling work and starred in her first movie, Extra!, for which she was uncredited at the age of 12.

At 14, she went on to land a role in The Harrad Experiment. It was then that she met the first love of her life, director Don Johnson. Being a minor and Johnson being 22 at the time was quite controversial, but the two were much in love and her mother let her live with him when she turned 15. At the age of 18, Griffith got engaged to Johnson and the two married some time later.

”I thought he was the most beautiful person I’d ever seen,” Griffith said.

”They were two beautiful, wonderful people, and here, my daughter was showing signs that I had never seen before in her, with an older man, and there was just sheer panic,” her mother, Tippi Hedren, recalled.

The two tied the knot in Las Vegas but the marriage broke down just six months later.

In the 1970s, Griffith starred in Night Moves and Joyride among the rest, as well as in the film Roar in which she was injured by a lion. Being muled near the eye, she needed a plastic surgery while her mom needed skin grafts and contracted gangrene.

Griffith said at the time that the lioness ”didn’t mean to hurt me. Just, after seven years growing up with the lions, I forgot you have to be careful. You can never be sure you’re safe, and just a blow can pop your head like a ping pong ball,” as per The Guardian.

Later, Griffith took part in Body DoubleSomething Wild, and The Working Girl, earning an Academy Award nomination for The Working Girl in 1989.

In 1981, Griffith married her second husband, Steven Bauer, with whom she welcomed son Alexander. When their marriage ended, the actress married Don Johnson for the second time, welcoming daughter Dakota Johnson, the star of Fifty Shades of Grey.

”You have to understand that we have a tie, and I love him,” Melanie Griffith said and added: ”I will always love [Don Johnson]. But just because you love someone doesn’t necessarily mean that you can live with them.”

When Griffith married her third husband, actor Antonio Banderas, her children finally had a father figure they could rely on. Banderas became an essential part of their lives, and remained such even after he and their mother divorced in 2014.

However, despite the split, Griffith and Banderas remained very close.

“I was totally inexperienced. Suddenly I had a 6-year-old girl, a 10-year-old boy, and Stella came along almost immediately,” Banderas told AARP of Griffith’s children. “I was, ‘Oh, my God!’ But as soon as the kids knew that I was there to stay, they were fine. They needed solid ground in which they could grow. As soon as I realized that, I started establishing my relationship, giving them security, little by little doing the father thing.”

During an award ceremony in 2019, when Antonio Banderas received the Hollywood Actor Award, Dakota Johnson and Melanie Griffith presented him with the trophy.

”I come from a family of many a marriage, and I got very lucky,” Johnson said in her speech.

”I got a bonus dad who I realized that, over time, is actually one of the most influential people in my whole life. When I was six years old, my mother married a man who brought an unbelievably bright light, a whole new world of creativity and culture, and one remarkably magical little sister into our family.”

”He loved my mother, and my siblings and I so big, and so fiercely and so loud, that it would change all of our lives together,” Dakota added in her speech.

Today, Griffith is single, and she’s happy.

In 2010, she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and eight years later, she revealed with her fans that she had cancer and she was forced to undergo a surgery with doctors removing a cancerous cell on her nose.

Speaking of the experience the actress said, “It’s a scary thing when you’re an actress and you depend on your face for work,” the actress told InStyle and continued: “But I realize I have to put a Band-Aid on it, and it’s fine. I just look like a dork.”

The good thing is that she’s now feeling great and is perfectly healthy. Following her cancer diagnosis, she became a loud advocate of cancer and also supports the efforts of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.

Jennifer Garner’s daughter Violet makes rare public appearance with mom – she’s her spitting image

The apple doesn’t fall away from the tree they say, and in the case of A-Lister Jennifer Garner and her daughter Violet, this saying can’t be more accurate.

The Dallas Buyers Club star is a mom of three. Her eldest daughter Violet is now 17 and everyone agrees that the teenager is a spitting image of her famous mom.

Some time ago, Violet made a public appearance when she accompanied her mom as her plus-one at the White House state dinner, a star-studded event many are looking forward to. The dinner was held to honor French President Emmanuel Macron and was hosted by the Bidens.

She and her mom were two of 400 VIPs who attended the event.

Garner shares Violet with her ex-husband, actor Ben Affleck.

For the occasion, Garner chose a floor-length, black Ralph Lauren gown with sequin accents on the sleeve which she paired with Stuart Weitzman shoes and a black clutch. Her daughter, who celebrated her 17th birthday on that day wore a thin-strapped Carolina Herrera dress with heart imprints, a black clutch and red, pointed-toe heels.

The duo walked into the event holding hands, gathering the attention of many.

However, what people were most stunned about was the uncanny resemblance between the mother and the daughter.

Fans were quick to comment. “Your date – my heart skipped a beat when I saw a photo,” one person wrote. “You and Violet looked stunning. What a night for you and her,” another added. “Violet looked stunning!” a third commented.

This was a rare public outing of the two as Garner doesn’t really expose her children to the public. Besides having parents who are very famous in the world of films, both in their own right, Violet and her siblings, sister Seraphina Rose, and brother Samuel, don’t live under the limelight. They are, however, occasionally pictured out.

Recently, they were pictured with their dad and his new wife, singer and actress Jennifer Lopez, during their honeymoon in Paris where they were together with their step-mom’s twins Emme and Max, who she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

Other famous people who attended the event at the White House were Batiste, Stephen Colbert, Ariana DeBose, John Legend, and Chrissy Teigen.

Judge Judy remarried her second husband because she couldn’t imagine her life without him after the split

Being a woman in a male-dominated profession was pretty hard back in the day. Nowadays, things are changed, but it took us quite some time to get where we are today.

Judy Sheindlin, or as most of you know her as “Judge Judy,” was never afraid to pursue a career as a lawyer. In fact, she always knew she would become one, although people believed she didn’t belong in the profession. When she graduated from the American University in Washington DC 1963, she was the only woman in her class of 126 students.

Judge Judy finished her law degree at the New York Law School in New York City, where she was born and raised.

She recalled that at the time, people couldn’t understand why she would pursue a career in law, and that included some of her professors. “Why are you taking up the seat of a man who is going to have to support a family,” one of her professors told her. But she was determined to make her dreams come true, and her parents, especially her father, played a huge role in what she became.

“I came home from college and my father was questioning some of my grades. I started giving him all kinds of excuses why I had not performed as expected. He looked me and said, ‘Darling, don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining’,” she recalled.

In the years that followed, Judge Judy became a corporate lawyer. She married and had two children, but never quit her career. She then continued working in family court, serving as a prosecutor for 10 years.

Her fierceness and knowledge were noticed by then-New York Mayor Ed Koch, who appointed her a criminal court judge. A few years later, she was promoted to a supervising family court judge.

One day in 1966, she welcomed 60 Minutes inside her court room and that was the start of one of the best TV shows there are, “Judge Judy.” It was on air for over 25 years. The show was canceled in 2020.

The audience fell for Judge Judy’s no-nonsense, wisecracking approach from day one, and her show grew in popularity with each episode.

The People’s Court, they’ve had several judges. The Tonight Show has had several hosts. But I Love Lucy only had one Lucille Ball,” she explained.

“So, almost 20 years ago, I told the company that I worked for this: ‘I want to be more of a partner. Don’t treat me as a paid employee. I could make this show without you — I created a deal where I could do that — but you can’t make it without me.

“I can take Judy Sheindlin anywhere else. And good luck with you if you can find somebody else. Otherwise, let’s share the gift that this program has brought to both of us.’ I don’t think that there’s anything unreasonable about that,” Judge Judy added.

The show earned Judge Judy three Emmy Awards and a lot of money. According to New York Times, she earned $47 million from her salary alone in 2018. In total, Forbes has put her net worth at a staggering $445 million.

When the so-much-loved show came to an end, many were left saddened. But not the star of it. Speaking of the wrapping up of that period of her life, Judge Judy said, “I wasn’t teary. I felt gratified that I had completed that part of my journey and done it respectably. It was just the end of the day, the end of the job. I cleaned the bathroom, and the bathroom is sparkling.”

At the moment, she has other projects in mind, with her first one staring on November 1.

Judge Judy married her first husband, Ronald Lev, in 1964, but their marriage didn’t last long. She met her second husband, Jerry, who is the love of her life, during a court case. Later that day, they met again at a bar. Speaking to LA Times, Jerry recalled what happened when they came across one another again.

“There was a reporter from the New York Post there at the bar, and I was speaking to him about the case. Judy came walking in and put her finger in my face and said, ‘And who is this?’ I said, ‘Lady, get your finger out of my face.’ We’ve been together ever since.”

They both clicked right away and knew deep down that they were meant for each other. However, after Judy’s dad died, she filed for divorce. She simply couldn’t cope with the pain of losing the only man she could rely on.

“I was so sad when my father died, that an easier emotion for me to deal with was being angry at Jerry for not picking up the slack than dealing with the sadness of the loss,” she told Closer.

They both planned on moving on, but their love for one another was so strong, it couldn’t be ignored. So, they tied the knot for the second time and are still together, loving each other more and more every day.

“I just had to come to terms with the fact that men of that generation expect to be taken care of and catered to,” she added.

“I missed Jerry, I like to have someone to fuss over, I like to be mated. It’s natural for me,” she added.

“I learned the hard way that sometimes what you think makes you happy won’t. I just had to come to terms with the fact that men of that generation expect to be taken care of and catered to.”

In case you are wondering if this incredible woman is planning on slowing down, she’s not, despite being 78.

“I’m not tired. I don’t play golf or tennis, I have no desire to learn how to play mahjong, chess or checkers,” she told Hollywood Reporter. “I know what I like to do. Why, at my stage in life, would I try to find something else when I already know what I like?

“And this isn’t a 9-to-5 job. I’ve still got the time to see the children I love, the grandchildren who are growing up very fast and the cute mate who I still get a kick out of.”

We can’t wait to see her on screen again.

Matthew McConaughey’s children make rare public appearance

Whether they like it or not, most celebrities are in the limelight because of the media exposure. However, while some enjoy all the attention, others tend to keep things private and opt for more normal lives, as much as that is even possible. One of the celebs who belong to the latter is Matthew McConaughey.

The actor is married to Camila Alves and they share three children together.

The family leads a quiet life in Texas, and speaking of it, Alves shared with Fox News Digital, “It’s been great. It really embodies our belief system, especially the ones I grew up with, like going to church every Sunday, saying ‘yes ma’am’ or ‘no, sir.’ I grew up saying those things coming from a family of farmers. For me, being from Brazil and then coming to Texas, I discovered a lot of similarities in terms of what families practice here, especially going to church on Sundays, and being very into the outdoors. It’s been a great transition.”

Recently, the couple’s eldest children, Levi and Vida, joined their mom in Paris and the trio attended the Stella McCartney Fall Winter 2023-2024 show for Fashion Week.

The McConaughey siblings caught the attention of many, Levi because he resembles his famous dad a lot, and Vida for wearing midi dress from her mother’s collaboration with artist Yoshitomo Nara.

It was the proud mom who shared photos of her children and herself on Instagram.

Matthew shared on many occasions that out of all the roles he has played, that of a father is what he is most proud of.

“And it’s remained the pinnacle for me. Being a dad was always my only dream. … I can’t think of anything being more important.”

Neither Matthew nor his wife share plenty of photos on the social media and that is why their rare posts gather the attention of many.

Ryan Reynolds wishes Sandra Bullock happy birthday with NSFW post

There are plenty of reasons why Ryan Reynolds is one of the most loved Hollywood actors, and his sense of humor is definitely one of them.

The Deadpool actor made many people’s day with his cheeky birthday message to his friend and former co-star Sandra Bullock.

Namely, the two co-starred in The Proposal in which Bullock played Margaret, a high-powered publishing executive whose glamorous New York life and highly-paid job are at risk because her visa hadn’t been renewed. In order to remain in the United States, she blackmails her assistant Andrew, played by Reynolds, into marrying her.

In one of the scenes, which is now considered iconic, Bullock’s character accidentally slips into Andrew’s arms while the two are both naked.

Well, Reynolds thought going down the memory lane and wishing Sandra a very happy birthday with a photo of this scene would be a good idea, and we can’t agree more.

He captured the post, “Happy Birthday to the inimitable and stunning Sandra Bullock! For your birthday this year, I got us both intimacy coordinators. And an HR department. And clothing?”

This was Bullock’s first ever nude scene and in fact she often reflected it saying she did it because she found the idea both “[humiliating] and funny.”

On the About Last Night Podcast with Adam Ray in 2021, Bullock stated: “Ryan and I have known each other since we were prepubescent. We go way, way, way back. We had to do the naked scene that day and Anne Fletcher, our director who’s just incredible, she’s great.”

She continued: “We had a closed set, which means no one’s allowed to be on there, just hair and makeup coming in to fluff and hide. Ryan and I have these flesh-colored things stuck to our privates, my hair is strategically over the nipples and Ryan’s little — not little, at all! It’s just whatever’s there, and I don’t know because I didn’t see it. I didn’t look!”

Bullock even shared the funny moment when director Anne Fletcher informed Reynolds about an unplanned reveal.

“When they’d say cut, we couldn’t really move,” she explained. “He was on his back with his knees up, and I’m on the floor just sort of resting on his knees, just waiting, and you don’t wanna look, and we couldn’t really move.”

“Then, I hear Anne Fletcher from the darkness go, ‘Ryan, we can see your ballsack!’ I’m like, ‘Oh God!’ Because you wanna look down, but I’m like, ‘Don’t look down. Don’t look down.’ … Everyone in the darkness spun around to see if they could find a monitor,” Bullock recalled. “I was like, ‘Anne, there’s a way to present that information….’”

This year, the Oscar-winning actress turned 59 and one thing that is certain is that she defies age.

Happy birthday, Sandra Bullock.

Oklahoma boy sits alone to fish when he catches a fish that has him screaming

Charlie, an 11-year-old boy from Oklahoma, was having fun catching fish in the neighborhood pond behind their home. The boy was hoping to catch and then release the bass and catfish living there, but all of a sudden, he caught a strange looking fish and started calling his mom’s name from the top of his lungs.

Speaking of the incredible incident, Charlie’s mom, Janna Clinton, said, “He was screaming, ‘Oh my God, mom! Oh my God!’ I thought he was just being dramatic, to be honest.”

What caught their attention and left them puzzled was the fact that the fish had human-like teeth, something they had never seen before.

“Obviously being in a neighborhood pond, we’re used to just catching a few bass or catfish…I mean, nothing with human-like teeth,” she said, adding that the fish was quite feisty. “[Charlie] said it put up a heck of a fight. He was the only one down there fishing and he did a great job.”

The family decided to take some photos of the strange fish and post them online. As expected, many people were quick to comment. “THOSE ARE HUMAN TEETH,” one person wrote. “What in the world!?! That’s creepy!” another added.

“That is most definitely not a catch and release! Thank you for taking it seriously,” one resident commented under the post. “You may need to report that to somebody in wildlife or something…” another suggested.

The family only learned more about the fish after they reached out to wildlife and sent them photos. Unfortunately, they released the fish into the pond. “It’s a catch and release pond…so we unfortunately did release it back because we didn’t know any better at the time,” Janna said. “We made a mistake there.”

The fish turned out to be a pacu, a cousin to the piranha, that’s native to South America. 

However, unlike piranhas and other relatives, pacu don’t have razor-sharp teeth because they are mostly vegetarian.

Wildlife officials have been left puzzled as to how that fish ended up in the pond. One of the logical explanations would be that it was released there by someone who owned it. Pacus enter freshwater ecosystems in the U.S. when people keep them as pets but irresponsibly release them into nearby ponds and rivers when they grow too big for their tanks, ODWC officials wrote.

“Dear, whoever released an entire Pacu (a South American fish closely related to Piranha) into a NEIGHBORHOOD pond; how dare you,” ODWC tweeted.

There have been other cases of pacu being caught in Oklahoma. “There have been incidents in other countries such as Papau New Guinea, where some men have had their testicles bitten off,” said fish expert Henrik Carl, who added fisherman have reportedly bled to death after having their testicles bitten off.  “They bite because they’re hungry, and testicles sit nicely in their mouth…” He added, “It normally eats nuts, fruit and small fish, but human testicles are just a natural target.”

As of Charlie, he continued fishing at the pond in hopes of catching the fish again. “If he catches it again, we’re going to get it mounted for him. I think that’s a heck of a prize and he deserves it…I told him we’d make it look like the fish was smiling so you could see its teeth.”

Releasing these fish into a new environment when owners can no longer care for them is dangerous for so many reasons.

Mom kills her three children and herself in horrifying murder-suicide – now father is speaking out

TOPEKA, KS - JULY 10: The Topeka police S.W.A.T. and Hostage Rescue teams respond to a home where a man barricaded himself in his home, threatening harm to himself on July 10, 2010 in Topeka, KS.

When a police officer at the Verdigris Police Department witnessed a Roman candle being shot through a broken window in a garage door at the house he was passing by, he knew something was off. Before he decided to investigate any further, he called backup, but none of the officers who arrived at the scene were ready for what was coming.

In a tragic turn of events, it was revealed that the firework was shot by a woman who took three children to a mother for a supervised visitation. The mother, however, was armed with a gun and held the woman at gunpoint after which she took the baby inside and locked the woman and her two other children in the garage.

In order to save the children and minimize the risk of harm, several emergency teams, including the Cherokee Nation Marshal Service’s SWAT team, tried to negotiate with the mother of the children. Sadly, to no avail. She mercilessly killed her three kids and then ended her own life.

Once inside the house, police officers and members of the emergency teams found the lifeless bodies of 11-year-old Noe, six-year-old Bryce, and 9-month-old Billy.

The children’s heartbroken father, Billy Jacobson, explained that his ex and the mother to his children, Brandy McCaslin, attempted suicide in January after he refused to reconcile with her. She was so angry that she tried changing their baby’s name. “There’s something I want everyone to be clear about. When Brandy McCaslin tried to commit suicide in January. She tried to change my son’s name because she was mad at me because I wasn’t coming back to her.” The post continued, “I never stopped calling him anything but that and it was wrong of her to do so. Out of respect to me and my son, who had no choice in the loss of his life due to his mother. Please do not refer to my child as anything but Billy. He deserves that.”

Jacobson’s current partner, Camron Fennel, also shared her heartbreak over the deaths of the children.

“Our hearts are shattered into a million tiny pieces. I can’t believe our precious 9 month baby boy is really gone.” Fennel’s post continued, “How in the hell can a “mother” be so selfish and evil to take the lives of her 3 innocent babies. Burning in hell for an eternity is not enough punishment for her!!”

According to Jacobson, it was the system that failed him big time and let his children be put in a life-threatening situation in the first place. In a video he shared, Jacobson explained the importance of giving fathers more rights, especially in cases like him when the mother suffers from mental illness.

“Fathers’ rights are a dear subject to me, I’ve dealt with it for years now…” Describing the late McCaslin’s struggles with mental health, he continued, “their mother had an incident in January where she had attempted suicide and I took her to court. I got emergency custody and the system failed me. It basically helped her even though she didn’t have an attorney, had multiple issues with mental health and suicide, and put my kids right back in the care of somebody (the courts) knew would injure my kids and if it wasn’t for that, my son would be here in my arms right now.”

This grieving father made it his mission to use the tragedy in order to reform the laws.

“The wheels are spinning, everybody. I have somebody going to the capital…They’re going to go approach some of the senators and representatives to see who would be willing to back us on enacting a bill!” The July 24 post continues, “It can’t happen until February to May of next year because that’s when they meet again to enact laws but it looks very promising! Thank you everyone for your kind words and support. If we work together we can make this where it cannot happen again.”

A number of people offered their condolences and support. “Using your trauma to impact others for the good is absolutely admirable,” writes one while another said, “So freaking amazing ty for leading this fight forward, many lives will be saved.”

Just days prior to the tragedy, Jacobson posted a photo of his baby with the caption “high five me.”

“This is heartbreaking…This family’s seen a lot, you know. Mental health has…I feel like just really, really, really affected this family when it comes to that and substance abuse,” Lucretia Pitre, a family friend, said. “…I just can’t believe she took the kids. I don’t know. I just don’t understand it.”

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jacobson.
