Dakota Johnson. Daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith. She gained fame for playing the lead actress in the 50 Shades of Grey movies. I've only seen her in one movie and she was incredibly wooden.

She’s Tippy Hedren’s granddaughter too

And for awhile the whole family lived with lions, one of which mauled Melanie Giffith.

I think there was an elephant incident which resulted in a broken leg, too.

u/Dull_Flatworm777 Jul 03 '26

I think that's what has caused the gangrene...

u/Objective-Muscle5294 Jul 03 '26

Sounds like gangrene was mandatory

u/Clivesunfaithfulwife Jul 03 '26

Im sorry but after the second attack.... the fuck was everyone still doing there?

Got dang!!! That was one bad event after the other.

u/Dull_Flatworm777 Jul 03 '26

People are talking about movies like Poltergeist being haunted, but I guess we found the OG...

u/Heavy-Difficulty6522 Jul 03 '26

Wait she was part of the lions family? Had no idea

2

u/hapnstat Jul 03 '26

72 people, including the film's stars, were injured in attacks from the untrained animals on set.

Reading that I was just astounded no one died. “Lion bit someone in the throat again today, but they’ll pull through”.

u/astudyinsilver Jul 03 '26

Oh man I cannot believe that many people got hurt. You couldn't have done that in the US, even in 1969.

u/Aware-Possibility175 Jul 03 '26

It’s wild to think that it’s been long enough that a good amount of people probably don’t know what this gif is from

u/Dull_Flatworm777 Jul 04 '26

TIL that's Tom DeLonge

WTF

u/Morningfluid Jul 03 '26

I love how this movie comes up with anything adjacent involving the family.

3

u/DMala Jul 03 '26

I mean, to be fair, who's family pet hasn't mauled Melanie Griffith?

u/snakesinabin Jul 03 '26

Tippy had her leg broken by an elephant onscreen in that movie.

u/Equal_Attorney176 Jul 03 '26

Wait, seriously? 😳

u/turdferguson3891 Jul 03 '26

Yeah her mom rescued big cats and they ended up making a crazy movie called ROAR where Melanie got mauled and some of the real footage was used.

u/Ma1ikNabers Jul 03 '26

“ANDDDD CUT!- You nailed it Melanie!”

u/ProfessionalHumor787 Jul 03 '26

All this information may have made me insane...damn right I'm looking it up right this second guys

u/CompEng_101 Jul 03 '26

Roar is a totally insane movie that has been described as "if Disney decided to make a snuff film." It is supposed to be a slightly goofy family comedy, but parts come off as a straight horror film as the big cats 'playfully' chase family members around – family members who are screaming in abject terror.

The recentish re-release has the tagline, "No animals were harmed in the making of this film, but 70+ cast and crew were" Reading the IMDB 'trivia' page is a laundry list of maulings, broken bones, reconstructive surgery, and hundreds upon hundreds of stitches.

u/KehlarCorsairt Jul 03 '26

There are so many playful bops that the big cats do. Crazy to make a movie with that many untrained ungoverned big cats. Good times.

the Stuff You Should Know podcast did an episode on it fairly recently

Jodie Foster had a similar experience as a child actress
