Her breakthrough role came in 1975 with “Night Moves,” alongside Gene Hackman. However, subsequent films received mixed reviews. Her personal life was also tumultuous, including marriages to Don Johnson and Antonio Banderas.
Griffith’s struggles with addiction and scandals marred her early career. Steven Bauer, her second husband, encouraged her to study acting with Stella Adler, leading to improved performances. Her standout roles in “Body Double” (1984), “Something Wild” (1986), and “Stormy Monday” (1988) solidified her status.
After reuniting with Don Johnson, Griffith gave birth to Dakota Johnson in 1989. Dakota has since become a successful actress, starring in “Fifty Shades of Grey” and “The High Note.”
Griffith’s marriage to Antonio Banderas produced daughter Stella, but ended in divorce in 2014. During this period, Griffith began reevaluating her beauty standards.
