Griffith's status as the child of a star meant she got an early start in Hollywood. After her breakthrough performance in Brian De Palma's Body Double in 1984, she went on to star in a number of other films throughout the rest of the decade, including Something Wild, directed by Jonathan Demme (Ang katahimikan ng mga tupa); the sci-fi cult favorite Cherry 2000; and Mike Nichols' Working Girl, for which she received an Oscar nomination.

In the 1990s, Griffith worked steadily, but appeared in several movies that were critically reviled and/or box office bombs, including The Bonfire of the Vanities, Born Yesterday, Mulholland Falls, and Crazy in Alabama. She also appeared in the coming-of-age favoriteNow and Then and as the mother of the title character in Adrian Lyne's Lolita.

The 2000s saw Griffith step back somewhat from acting on film. She appeared in only a handful of movies, most of which went straight to video; she also voiced animated characters in Stuart Little 2 at angFinding Nemo itumba mo,A Turtle's Tale. However, she found success onstage, turning in an acclaimed performance inthe Broadway production of the musical Chicago in 2003.

In more recent years, the actor starred alongside her now-ex-husband Antonio Banderas in the 2014 sci-fi thriller Automata, appeared in 2017's The Disaster Artist, and had a small role in the 2020 comedy-drama Mataas na nota, which stars her daughter, Dakota Johnson.

Griffith has been married four times, to three fellow actors. Her first marriage to Don Johnson in 1976 didn't last the year.

After Griffith and Johnson divorced in 1996, she married Antonio Banderas that same year, their daughter Stella Banderasarriving soon after.

Despite their famous lineage, Griffith was apparently hesitant to allow her children to go into the business. Though Alexander and Stella have mostly stayed offscreen, Dakota rose to international stardom appearing in the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise—but, as she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2021, she had to wait for adulthood to get her career started, because her mom and dad insisted she finish school first.

Griffith has struggled with substance use, once being required to pay an $80,000 fine for showing up drunk to the Working Girl itakda. Two weeks after that 1988 incident, she entered rehab for the first time.

Ang aktorreturned to rehab in 2000 after a neck injury led to an addiction to pain pills, and once again in 2009 after a skiing accident and more pain pills led to a relapse.

'Oh my god, what has she done?!'" sinabi niyaPorter in 2017 (via People).
