Melanie started modeling and performing occasional movie roles at an early age of 16. After her roles in such films as “Night Moves” and “The Drowning Pool”, she was nicknamed in the press as Lolita.
Some critics suppose, that Melanie Griffith is a moderately talented actress, and there are not so many films in her resume, which became the first-rate box office hits.
But no doubt, the movie “Working Girl”, directed by Mike Nichols and starring (except for Melanie) Harrison Ford, Sigourney Weaver, and Alec Baldwin are one of the brightest in the actress’s career. The story about the girl, who was too shy to demonstrate her business talent at first, but then after a string of troubles dared to take her destiny to her own hands, brought Dakota’s mother a number of prestigious awards, including Oscar nomination and Golden Globe award. After that, she appeared in another serious film, named “Stormy Monday”. Modern viewers know Melanie as Tamara from “Raising Hope” and Jackie from “The Path”. Till now Melanie Griffith continues the career of an actress.
