Melanie Griffith & Dakota Johnson

Sure, you know Dakota Johnson as the lead star of the famed Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy, opposite Jamie Dornan. But did you know she is the daughter of the legendary actress Melanie Griffith? The 63-year-old actress shares Dakota with her former husband, Don Johnson. As a daughter of two celebrity royalties, it is no surprise that Dakota also entered the entertainment world – and she has found success in it.

Dakota did not just get her fame and prominent name in the industry from her parents – she has earned it fair and square. Like the rest of the self-made actors and actresses in Hollywood, she started out by playing minor roles until her unparalleled talent was eventually discovered. If there was one thing that Melanie had to pass on to her child other than her amazing looks, it was probably proper investment planning as a high-paid actress.
