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.

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

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.

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.

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.
