She is the daughter of famed starlet and Hitchcock muse Tippi Hedren, began acting when she was just a toddler, and started dating Hollywood heartthrob Don Johnson was she was just 14-years-old - and he was 22.
Also, her family had a giant pet lion named Neil.
In a new set of photos that have recently been released, we get a look into the life of Griffith and her family, and see just what it is like to have one of the most fearsome creatures in the wild as a pet.
Turns out, not much different than having any other kind of domesticated pet.
Neil is seen lounging on the floor as the maid steps over him, chilling with Griffith in her bed and mostly just horsing, or rather lioning, around with his human family.
The majestic beast was adopted by the family after they took a trip to Africa and decided to make a movie about lions, Roar.
Sadly, the movie was a box office flop, and some of the lions got a bit rough on set.
Griffith required 50 stitches at one point after being bit by one of the cats, and cinematographer Jan de Bont had to have his scalp sewn back on after being attacked.
In the end, 70 people wound up being injured by the film�s cast of 150 large predatory cats.
But hey, hakuna matata.
