Melanie Richards Griffith (nata il 9 agosto 1957) è un'attrice americana. Ha iniziato la sua carriera negli anni '70, apparendo in diversi film thriller indipendenti prima di raggiungere il successo mainstream a metà degli anni '80. Nata a New York da Tippi Hedren e da Peter Griffith, dirigente pubblicitario, è cresciuta principalmente a Los Angeles, dove si è diplomata alla Hollywood Professional School a 16 anni. Nel 1975, un Griffith allora diciassettenne apparve accanto a Gene Hackman nel film noir di Arthur Penn Night Moves. In seguito è diventata famosa per il ruolo di attrice pornografica nel thriller Body Double (1984) di Brian De Palma, che le ha valso un premio della National Society of Film Critics come Miglior Attrice Non Protagonista. La successiva interpretazione di Griffith nella commedia Something Wild (1986) ricevette consensi dalla critica prima che fosse scelta per Working Girl del 1988, che le valse una nomination all'Oscar come miglior attrice e le valse un Golden Globe. Negli anni '90 Griffith ha ricoperto una serie di ruoli che hanno ricevuto opinioni critiche variabili; ha ricevuto nomination ai Golden Globe per le sue interpretazioni in Buffalo Girls (1995) e come Marion Davies in RKO 281 (1999), vincendo anche un Golden Raspberry Award come Peggiore Attrice per le sue interpretazioni in Shining Through (1992), oltre a nomination per Crazy in Alabama (1999) e per il film cult di John Waters Cecil B. Demented (2000). Altri crediti includono Pacific Heights (1990) di John Schlesinger, Milk Money (1994), il film neo-noir Mulholland Falls (1996), nel ruolo di Charlotte Haze in Lolita di Adrian Lyne (1997) e Another Day in Paradise (1998). In seguito ha interpretato Barbara Marx in The Night We Called It a Day (2003) e ha trascorso la maggior parte degli anni 2000 apparendo in serie televisive come Nip/Tuck, Raising Hope e Hawaii Five-0. Dopo aver recitato a Londra, nel 2003 ha debuttato a Broadway in una ripresa del musical Chicago, ricevendo recensioni celebrative. Negli anni 2010, Griffith è tornato al cinema, recitando accanto all'allora marito Antonio Banderas nel film di fantascienza Autómata (2014) e come coach di recitazione in The Disaster Artist (2017) di James Franco.
