Melanie started doing television work, where she met her second husband, Steven Bauer, on the set of the TV movie She's in the Army Now (1981). Unfortunately, as her career progressed, she became increasingly dependent on drugs and alcohol, a fact well-known to studio executives, who stopped considering her for feature film roles. She also married Johnson, eloping in 1976, but the union ended within six months.
It immediately typecast her and led to more nymphet roles, with her beautiful nude body a permanent fixture in movies like Ha-Gan (1977) and Joyride (1977). Penn took a paternal interest in her, and she felt confident and gave a riveting performance, doing racy nude scenes. She agreed but was terrified of performing in front of the camera.
She was hesitant, but Johnson encouraged her to take the role. It was actually an audition for his film Нічні рухи (1975), and Penn gave her the role of a runaway nymphet. One day she went to meet with director Arthur Penn for what she thought was a modeling assignment. Even though Melanie didn't like modeling, she continued to do it to pay the bills. Tippi took a very liberal approach and allowed Melanie to move in with Don at a tender age. She was only 14 years old, while he was a 22-year-old with two annulled marriages. Melanie's acting career, however, began as a model at just nine months old in a commercial and she later appeared as an extra in Smith! (1969) and The Harrad Experiment (1973), where she fell in love with her mother's co-star, Don Johnson. Melanie also grew up with tigers and lions, as Tippi and Noel were raising them for the movie Roar (1981), in which the family later starred. Meanwhile, her father married Nanita Greene Samuels and had two more children: Tracy Griffith and Clay A. She married her then-agent, Noel Marshall, in 1964 (they divorced in 1982), and Melanie grew up with three stepbrothers. Tippi caught the eye of the great director Alfred Hitchcock, who gave her starring roles in Птахи (1963) and Марні (1964). Her parents' marriage ended when she was four years old and Tippi brought Melanie to Los Angeles to get a new start. Melanie Griffith was born on Augin New York City, to then model/future actress Tippi Hedren and former child actor turned advertising executive Peter Griffith.
