melanie griffith lights a cigarette for her 16-year-old daughter dakota johnson (2006)

Wasn't Melanie banging Don Johnson when she was 16? Giving her kid a ciggie seems pretty tame in comparison.

She also lived with a lion

Clutching your peals over a decades old photo is, of course, the epitome of class, Op.

Talk about old news....OP, do better!

Mel was never known to be a responsible adult.

Fun mom, crazy mom.

"Smoking keeps us thin, honey."

Whatever. I still like her.

Newsflash for those living under a rock for 5 decades: Melanie Griffith is charismatic trash.

Sometimes I really miss smoking cigarettes. It was one of my great pleasures back in the day.

You judgmental cunts. Until you’ve been in someone else’s shoes, fuck right off with your know-it-all-ism. The world is burning down, so I could give a fuck if Mel lights her kid’s smoke.

"Tippi" also had a smoking buddy.

Children need a lot of help in their chosen endeavors.

Smoking is a filthy and disgusting habit. Gross.

I’ll never forget taking a three hour history final at Haines Hall ( UCLA). The olden days when you handwrote your final exam in a “ blue book .” It was blue .

And most disgustingly , you could smoke in class . I smoked an entire pack of Marlboro Reds during that final. Just using the floor as my ashtray ( I think).

Seriously I feel 175 years old

I had an on-campus college job, typing purchase orders in triplicate or quadruplicate. I sat there at the typewriter smoking cigarettes and making multiple errors in my typing.

She was banging Ryan O’Neal when she was 13 or so and best friends with his 10 year old daughter Tatum. Her whole life is very sad

She was also pretty young with Don Johnson.

She was with 2 really hot men when she was an adult: Steven Bauer and the guy she married who left his wife for her.

I can't believe other DataLoungers don't remember this. I certainly do

Smoking was the least of her daughter's problems. They actually were leaving an AA/NA meeting. The daughter was attending meetings too. Not as support for her mom. The daughter had an addiction problem too

Here's the photo agency's headline from that photo: Exclusive!! Melanie Griffith has found her new calling, photographer. The actress turned the tables on our snapper during a break at her AA meetings in West Hollywood, Ca. 3/22/06

Here's another photo from that day from Mother of the Year, Melanie and her junkie friends and daughter

Bleached blonde bimbo AA meeting.

Photographing people in AA is fucking low

“In Denial” about her chain-smoking habit.

I still see Melanie at AA meetings in Weho.

Let's not be too hard on her datalounge people because she has She has a head for business and a bod for sin. Is there anything wrong with that?

She was also taking Tatum O'neal to orgies when she was 12. And she started dating/fucking Ryan and Tatum felt betrayed. Tatum considered her a close friend FYI.

From 1972:

R27, Ryan really was a creep. Can you imagine a grown adult man looking at Melanie looking like that and think to themselves "I wanna do her!".

- Memoir of Melanie Griffith

Melanie is a lifelong addict. I feel for her. She may have not made great decisions but she seems to have a good heart. She is one of the few celebrities who grew up in the industry who actually seems like someone who is down to earth and can connect with everyday “regular” people—she’s not pretentious or precious. Dakota seems to have a similar quality.

That's why I banned her from the set of my movie!

R30, and i also love Dakota Johnson and her interviews.

Mel certainly is thin…

Didn’t know actress Joanna Moore was Tatum’s mother.Died at 63 in 1997.
