Melanie Griffith

Melanie Griffith’s upbringing took an unconventional turn with her pet lion, Neil, a formidable 400-pound presence who resided alongside her family in their California home. She shared playful moments and even nights in the same bed with Neil. The cat did not harm any of the family members.

However, a pivotal incident occurred when Neil harmed Ron Oxley, his owner, at a dinner party held for British guests at their residence. Subsequently, Tippi Hedren shot a documentary called “Roar,” which was largely branded the most dangerous Hollywood movie. To this day, Melanie cherishes the memory of their unique bond, acknowledging that he held a special place in her childhood.
