Melanie Griffith

One of the popular actresses in the ’80s is Melanie Griffith. Although she started her career back in the ’70s, it was only when she appeared in Body Double, a 1984 film that was able to gain a degree of popularity. Her performance was also given recognition from the National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Supporting Actress. After this, Melanie’s career continued to rise and she was able to land a lot of major roles including the film Roar.

However, her role in Roar became controversial after she was mauled by a lion while filming the movie. She had to undergo some surgeries for the injuries she obtained from the movie which were probably covered by her medical insurance. Roar is dubbed as one of the most dangerous productions. In the 2010s, Griffith returned to film, starring opposite then-husband Antonio Banderas in the science-fiction film Autómata (2014) and as an acting coach in James Franco’s The Disaster Artist (2017).
