Melanie Griffith in InStyle Magazine, OMG!!!

That's fucking freaky, I don't recognize any of her original features...unbelievable.

She'd look good -- if one had no idea who she is. As is, it's like a weird mashup of Julie Bowen, Beverly D'Angelo and a lot of Photoshop.

(I still think she is funny, though).

Be sure to click through to see all of them. Yikes!

holy shit

This is BEYOND the "Zellweger Refresh"!

She looks like a completely different person. (There are two other pics inside the link, too!)

I’m seeing Julien Bowen from Modern Family. Each season she gets more and more unrecognizable.

Who the fuck is that? She looks like she had a face transplant.

She looks good, but not like herself. So what?

I LOVE BRIE LARSON'S NEW MASK!

To me she looks like the love child of Diane Lane and Ellen Burstyn.

I agree she looks much better than she has in recent years, but she looks absolutely nothing like herself.

That is not Melanie Griffith. And nobody can convince me otherwise.

And then there's so much Photoshop and so much spackle over the work...it's...ugh...WTF......?

It must enrage her that Don Johnson aged naturally and looks 500x better than she does.

She looks like Jessica Lange and Faye Dunaway.

^ Like a mashup

I see a bit of Cybill Shepherd, and zero Melanie Griffith. What a shame, her own mother is so beautiful.

I was thinking a mashup with Jessica Lange and Marsha Mason.

She probably didn’t like what she saw in the mirror anymore. So I’m sure she’s happy with it.

I just....I can't even.

She looks different but much better.

You can tell it's her because her mouth is frozen in that crooked position. It's been that way since she butchered her face decades ago.

It’s certainly an improvement.

What the Kim Cattrall is going on???

[quote]Like many working moms, Melanie opted to press pause on her career while she and Banderas grew their family. Melanie said that particular decision "was more exciting than playing a part in a story. You have to live your life and not just play somebody else all the time. And how can you play somebody else if you don't live your own life?"

She was a nightmare to look at by the time she married Banderas and when did she ever play somebody else?

Still, I can't believe these photos or the story of her happy to be 60 and alone and ready to resume her career. She is one of the stupidest women in Hollywood. Dumber than Demi Moore.

I predict Melanie will be dead of a alcohol/drug overdose in the next 5 years. I'm not trying to be bitchy. Who the fuck is she? She doesn't know.

She looks like a .1% divorcée one might meet in Marbella or Bodrum.

Or Marg Helgenberger? Or Jean smart??

Hard but not bitter. Very very rich. Much richer than Melanie Griffith.

OP, you shouldn't have put her name in the title. You should've let people guess.

She looks like she had a head transplant.

She does look better with the Home Depot silicone removed from her lips.

She was a great actress back in the day. Hope she regains some momentum. There's no reason why she couldn't do cable.

The bone structure looks like Frances Fisher now.

Maybe the real Melanie has been kidnapped, and this is some weird imposter??

The one in the blue dress looks like a young Kathleen Turner. I never understood the Banderas marriage or his blind loyalty to her. She's a lucky bitch!

Allison Sweeney?

Are you sure that’s her? There’s nothing left of her original face.

J'adore r23

She looks great but nothing like her old self or more recent surgeried-self This is a huge improvement but I’d never know it was her . Looks like the Dr undid the bad previous surgeries . I’m lost

I also agree the imposter/pod person who’s taken over might be Jean Smart.

Was it a plastic surgeon that corrected the previous plastic surgery or did they do more?

Why don't they all go to Fonda's surgeon? Clearly the best out there. She never looks like a stranger.

This is not Melanie Griffith. This is like hiring a test taker. Where are they keeping Melanie?

The person who mentioned Julie Bowen nailed.

This person couldn't even pass as a stand-in or body double for Melanie.

I'd have guessed Marg Helgenberger. I wonder how her face moves. A lot of times people with a lot of work done look fine in still photos, but their faces don't move right.

Read on in People:

Melanie Griffith recently went underwent a procedure to have some skin cancer removed from her nose — and the experience took a toll on the actress. “It’s a scary thing when you’re an actress and you depend on your face for work,”

AND she had her blood replaced by a mad scientist in Germany....

Though, to be fair, we'll all recognize Melanie again when she opens her mouth. One of a kind speaking voice.

Bitch stole my look!

It’s like they went down the skull and then started over from scratch.

Cybill Shepherd/Kathleen Turner mash up.

Is this the work of the Lasky Clinic?

She doesn't look that bad even if she's unrecognizable.

I like the skin cancer on the nose as an explanation for why she looks totally different.

I like Zellweger. Griffith has always been a dumb superficial lying bitch addicted to surgery. This is how she really looks now.

Kathleen Turner, Jessica Lange and Joan Rivers had a lezzed out threeway and this is their lovechild.

My initial thought was Jean Smart. Julie Bowen is a good one.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Unrecognisable

I really didn't need to see the underboob in that dress at R25.

She doesn't look bad, but she looks like a completely different person.

Maybe a refreshed Michelle Phillips?

....

Don't look at me!

dam she got the works,,,new face transplant....looks fab tho

Looks like a younger Kathleen Turner

She has skin cancer, her nose and mouth are disfigured. She didn't willingly let go of her blow job lips. Her eyes are wonky and misaligned and she's a hideous mess. Because her skin can't take anymore. She doesn't look fab because the photos are all heavily shopped and retouched. Melanie Griffith has looked 20 years older than her age for 25 years now. She still does.

A cross between Kim Catrall and Kathie Lee Gifford.

They wouldn’t photoshop her into a completely different person. She’s clearly had more work done and these are the first pics taken since her face has healed and settled. How she looks without photoshop touchups will be revealed in the days and months ahead.

She's a Jackie Collins character. A disaster human.

Looks like her nose is a mess like Michael Jackson's

They'd never cast that woman as Anastasia Steele's mother. No resemblance whatsoever.

I feel sorry for her. Its got to be difficult, whether you had surgery or not, to have people talk about you.

I think that’s Julie Bowen or maybe Cybill Shepherd in the OP pic.

Melanie Griffith is an old chain-smoking hag.

Following the Marlo Thomas tradition -- completely new person.

Wow, the growth on her nose looks like a serious form of cancerous tissue. It’s good that she has been treated. On the link, the photo of her in the Jessica Rabbit dress look a lot like the Real Housewife of Beverly Hills who is a soap opera actress, married to a Van Patten. Eileen Davidson?

Do we have any VERY recent candid shots of her? Even red carpet? I'm curious to see what the new face looks like without the benefit of stylists and good lighting. Anyway, I'm impressed with the way 70 year old Melanie has transformed herself into 48 year old Brie.

Marlo still looks like Marlo in that photo R71.

But unlike Marlo Thomas, Melanie looks way better.

Marlo Thomas is 100 years older than Melanie Griffith, R75.

I’ve always thought that her mother was one of the most beautiful women. It’s sad that Melanie messed up her face to the point where she’s unrecognizable.

The photo posted at R66 is a recent photo. She obviously has her new face there, just sans makeup.

I don’t know her.

I'm going with Julie Bowen and Cybill Shepard (mostly because of the hair)

Her sister Tracy is prettier too and was smart enough not to mess her face up with plastic surgery.

Melanie had three hot husbands on their Prime & a career based on limited talent yet somehow she got the message that she wasn’t good enough and decided to get a ton of horrible plastic surgery, Girls this is a lesson to all of you to take care of yourselves, drugs, drinking, smoking like a chimney & you too will need a face transplant someday!

Her sister was in Sleepaway Camp III : Teenage Wasteland

I can't get over how much she looks like Julie FUCKING Bowen.

Face transplant - left to right.

She got to fuck Steven Bauer at his peak.

She could retire and rest on those laurels.

Dickmatised by a young Don's hog. She must have really loved to fuck most of her life.

That pic at OP... IS NOT HER!

a way older elle fanning.... w a y

That's a whole lotta Kathy Lee Gifford right there.

R89 what.. the... is that

Susan Fucking Dey.

The L.A. Law years.

Absolutely bizarre. Will that be the new trend? Become a completely different person in your aged years? And I don’t get that reference in the article that she took in Don’s son to raise. Is Patti D’Arbanville a rotten mother?

Griffith spend most of the last 30 years high or in rehab. She's always been a dog to look at. She's been a few different breeds. Stupid bitch does not look younger or better. Just different. Again.

DO NOT open pic st R63. It's a .ru link and you could end with unwanted spyware.

I think I finally see her resemblance to Tippi and Dakota.

I’m more surprised by how long she stayed married to Antonio - 20 years! She eat up his most beautiful years...

yikes.

Maybe her doctor can do something to help Lara Flynn Boyle?

Dakota looks like Don. Poor Melanie. One must be pretty damaged to do that to one's self.

I did not realize she and Antonio split. They were together for awhile.

Between faces.

She may not have been a beautiful young woman but she was pretty enough to be in the movies and to have married Don Johnson... twice. Why do these pretty-enough, and even gorgeous women (I'm looking at you Lara Flynn Boyle) fuck with their faces!?

Have there been studies on the plastic surgery issue?

I still Cannot understand why she got to fuck and marry & breed with Don, Steven and Antonio all in their most beautiful years. She was never that particularly gorgeous, smart or talented. Am I missing something here? Maybe she has a magical pussy?

Men love whores

r105 a great pair of legs and a brain switched off!

also, she liked to 'party'.

She was charming and fun. As said above, she probably really loved fucking. She never struck me as a whore.

Holy fuck! It's clear she has a completely new nose. I'm not sure what else she's done, but woah! It does look like it was due to cancer, though, so at least there's that. I don't think this was her just being bored or not feeling sexy anymore.

Neither her mother or daughter come off as whores.

She looks like Amy Poehler with sharper angles.

Amy Poehler is gorgeous compared to this gross old freak.

Melanie had a complete head transplant in the spirit of Kate Capshaw and Jennifer Grey. Melanie's whole schtick is just so tiresome. Has there ever been a time when she wasn't a complete mess?

She looks beautiful but as mentioned, not like the face the public has known from her films. But oddly, she looks more like how her original face would have aged, if that makes sense? She looks more like she did as a teenager.

It's fascinating because it's like decades of identity tied to facial work that altered the original is gone but her "real" face is back.

Forgot to mention that Melanie got breast implants during the middle of shooting "Bonfire of Vanities". It's discussed in the book "Devil'sCandy".

Does anyone else see this? It's odd because she looks more like her original self now, even though her entire face was changed. Decades of "star identity" is gone but it's almost like the original is back.

I was thinking Naomi Watts an older version.

How is Don's dick holding up? Has it been youthified?

I am not sure why but I always get Meg Ryan and Melanie Griffith mixed up and have to look them up to see which one is which.

Is her nose just a gaping hole packed with embalmers’ putty now?

She looks damn good. Who wouldn't take a new face, if they could get one, over that scary mess at R63? Who cares that she doesn't look like herself? That's a good thing since her original face has looked like a seahag for at least twenty years.

Whoever rebuilt her is a genius. Would love him/her to do my face and neck.

Love Melanie. Can see why all those gorgeous guys were in love with her.

Sorry, I don’t believe for a second that’s her.

There is NO WAY Melanie went from looking like the pic in R51 to the pix in the OPs link.

The OP photos are extremely photoshopped.

I hope Jocelyne Wildenstein sees this thread

Wtf my husband and I are shocked.

It seems like she was somewhat young when she and Don started doing it.

You mean that's not Roxanne Hart from Chicago Hope?!

[quote] It seems like she was somewhat young when she and Don started doing it.

She was 14 and he was 22.

Finally got the nosejob she knew she needed for some time now. Her nose got fucked up somehow - not sure if it was the coke or the other facelifts.

But she is 100% unrecognizable in this body.

Her nose must still be fucked up....notice in all the new pics, she always has her head turned to her right.

She and Rosanna Arquette are virtually unemployable in the industry. They burned too many bridges in Rosanna's whine-fest documentary about being over 40 and not being cast for roles.

Melanie's interview in this magazine seems like a glammed up personals ad. She gets no more child support and funds must be drying up.

Diane lane!!!

Melanie has been steadily working R133.

Yes, she works sometimes. Mostly at yoga and keeping her pill intake down. She's a shit actress with a terrible voice who's extremely unattractive even at a distance.

I thought it was Elizabeth Banks.

I'm seeing Kathie Lee

Melanie has become a human Rorshach. I see Chelsea Handler, Liv Ulmann and Jenna Jameson. I am a sick, sick man.

Good Evening, I'm Rosemary Church, live from Atlanta.

Never could stand her speaking voice.

Kim cattrell crosses with Kathy Lee Gifford with a dash of that mom from Modern Family.

Friend who does production design worked with her on a set a couple of years ago. Melanie was a guest star in a minor part on a TV show. Said that Melanie was a total nasty piece of work who was pissy and demanding AND smoked all the time inside on set when multiple signs posted said no smoking ( flammable stuff was around) plus it was against the law of the jurisdiction.

I see a little Cathy Moriarty.

You can kind of tell it's Griffith if you look at the eyes only, but otherwise she looks like a different person entirely.

Is there any Shelley Duvall?

I like Melanie. She has always been insecure.

But I think she's a very strong actress with the right part. She was perfect for the '80s because her quirkiness set her apart from the rest - Body Double, Something Wild, Cherry 2000, and Working Girl are Griffith at her best. But then in the '90s, Hollywood tried to turn her into a leading lady and it just didn't work - Bonfire of the Vanities, Shining Through, Paradise, A Stranger Among Us, Born Yesterday.

What R121 & R122 said. That is some serious South Korean cosmetic surgery realness there - they are pros at making people look completely different from their former selves. I want to know who did her work. Even if the photos are heavily photoshopped (and [bold]everything[/bold] is these days), it looks like an amazing (and improved) transformation.

She peaked with Milk Money.

She looks like Julie Bowen crossed with CSI's Marg Helgenberger (after she went blonde)

Marg Helgenberger is who she looks like now

Yes, definitely Marg, but Julie Bowen is swirling around in there

She looks great, but I would have waited a year to show off the BRAND NEW, totally different face

no matter, what , that is some damned good plastic surgery. I know it's just from one angle, but she doesn't look like she's pulled too tight

I would NOT have recognized her.

She looks like a female impersonator in search of a female to impersonate.

I say Sarah Poulson and Theresa Russell

This is Melanie Griffith with no makeup, so she does look like herself at OP, just still completely unmatchable to her younger self.

Here is another comparison with and without makeup.

I didn't realize she had a pencil thin nose at some point.

I would say this was a huge improvement, but it’s all photoshop. She doesn’t look like this.

Sally Kirkland?

Melanie has just been working out and drinking lots of water.

I see Jean Smart too

who the hell is that?

[quote]I’ve always thought that her mother was one of the most beautiful women.

And here's 'Tippi' a few years OLDER than what Melanie is now and STILL chic, effortlessly elegant and beautiful. Whatever work she had done(if any) was subtle and minimal. She looks older but still every inch HERSELF.

I'm surprised Melanie went off the rails so disastrously with a mother who was such a good role model for aging great.

R145 Indeed, she had a good run playing an 80's Marilyn Monroe, the quirky blonde with the little-girl voice who was smarter than you expected. I see Marg Helgenberger, not Julie Bowen.

She looks just shy of that Wildebeast lady.

Jean Smart? Seriously, that photoshoot is freaky. But the new surgically altered Melanie looks better than the old surgically altered Melanie, at least.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Already posted.

Tippi is horribly sun-damaged.

Maybe Melanie sent her sister to In Style's photo shoot.

R168 I didn't realize it due to DM's constant fuckup of their links.

that’s not Melanie, it’s Cybill Shepherd. Melanie must have died or something.

She looks a bizarre mashup of Tonya Harding and Caitlyn Jenner/Jessica Lange (that identical pair) and Michelle Phillips.

This is creepy. Will no one looke like themselves soon? This is some script for dystopian plastic surgery. BRRRR!!!

Thank the good lord I’m just going to be an old dog.

Like if you could live forever with your loved ones but they became different people every year. EEEEK!!!! I”m scaring myself. My mom is dead and I want her back but what if she looked like the scary thing OP put up? At least she would look like herself if she became a zombie or ghost or vampire. People could go mad, I tell you.

I'm seeing a little bit of Joan Allen (who is evidently gay now by the way ). Interestingly I still see "Melanie " in her eyes and facial expressions.

Cathy Moriarty

I see Jean Smart and some tv actress. Never watched American Family but I have seen her win some Emmys. I see a trace of Elizabeth Banks but nothing of Melanie Griffith Wonder what she would look like without air brushing.

She looks like one of the Hemingway sisters, who were good looking girls. That's a total facial reconstruction. Must have cost hundreds of thousands of $$$, plus the recovery time must have been horrendous.

Whoa.

This thread would've been better if the OP hadn't told us who it was and let us guess. I never would've guessed. She's been compared to lots of other people so far:

Ellen Burstyn

Elizabeth Banks

Jean Smart

Caitlyn Jenner / Jessica Lange

Abby Dalton

I see traces of 2005 - 2008 Madonna too.

I'm seeing Elizabeth Banks with some Kate Capshaw and Caitlyn thrown in. A little Jodie Foster thrown in around the mouth too.

In R157 she looks a little like Shannon Tweed. She must have had her cheek implants redone, as the last set looked like implants whereas these are subtle. Her neck work is great! I hope it all holds up. Weird how her eyes seem more deeply set now.

Never saw the appeal of Melanie Griffith. She and her mother Tippi Hedren had the misfortune to have been born with abnormally long chins. All that acreage under the mouth is distracting.

Can surgery fix an excessive jaw? Look at the photo in r77. Tippi is artfully disguising her chin with the pencil, but her otherwise beautiful features are ruined by that chin.

Melanie's sex appeal was that she was fun and loved to party, even before she became of legal age. All that boozing and drugging took its toll on her face.

The links at r155 and r156 show how she transitioned between faces, they explain a lot.

Op's link is heavily photoshopped. The nose is still a lumpy mess. She's not wearing thick eye makeup like she normally does. It's the Renee Z transformation, go out with minimal makeup.

She was never going to age like her mother. Tippi has amazing bone structure. Melanie was all chubby cheeks.

Those actresses who started to "age" twenty years ago when cheek implants and lip fillers became popular were really screwed. Previous generations had traditional face lifts with better results. It was too easy (and cheaper) to go overboard with fillers though, and end up with lumpy faces.

I see some Gena Rowlands, and can see what others see as well. However, Melanie Griffith is nowhere to be seen. Is she in witness protection?

Melanie's brain was placed inside of that sex robot's body

Fuck! She looks like a completely different person. I don't recognise her at all.

Here's one without all the Photoshop. Unrecognisable. Imagine what she looks like without a LOT of makeup on.

Judging by OP's pic, Melanie now looks like 1990s country music singer, Suzy Bogguss

Wow . In Re:188’s post she does look different but not as different as in OP’s post and much more like the original Melanie . Wonder how the surgeon undid and redid her ? She’d get lots more publicity speaking about this then about the skin cancer . Still think she looks way better than she did a couple of years ago . Do you all think this was one major surgery or lots of smaller ones ? I’m fascinated

Some Ona Munson

'Can surgery fix an excessive jaw? '

You betcha !

Whenever Mel speaks, she reveals she is a moron. Imagine if she knocked off the baby voice and spoke like a grown woman ? Every time she speaks she whines. All she speaks about is who she's fucking or that she's looking for a fuck. Or her rehab. Decades of being a drug addict. It's tiring to hear of Hollywood morons moaning about their one year sober for their 16th time.

Looks like Rebecca de Mornay

Is the answer Jasmine Guy??

I can't believe her only Oscar nomination was from a movie she was drugged the entire time...

She seems empty inside. Still looking for a man.

Not that she owes anyone anything, but she could use her misfortune to educate people about skin cancer. Eh, maybe she doesn’t want to be the poster girl for a deadly disease.

Dear LORD!

Melanie’s always been a coked-up mess who smells like Marlboros and gin.

She comes across as grasping desperately in the air for a disappeared youth.

Annette Bening recently got a thread here for essentially looking her age. She not only defies the expectation for surgical procedures, she is also a real actress who can play a real human being. Talent trumps vanity.

Melanie Griffith is now only plausible as a rich lady who’s had extreme plastic surgery.

Maybe that’s what the future holds. Instead of accepting aging as a natural process, we are being conditioned to latch onto youth at the expense of embracing the third act of our lives.

And until we can upload our consciousness, we’re all still facing death, the end point of aging, and even the most glamorous of us has to walk through that door alone. No fans or followers. Just ourselves, and I guess I think we should be at peace with who we are.

i think the OP's pic makes her look like Ben Stiller's ex wife, Christine Taylor.

R200 is Shirley MacLaine for sure.

The era of big, surgically enhanced lips made plastic surgeons a lot of money but they never looked natural. Don't do it, girls.

I agree with your sentiment R200, but...Celebrities are damned if they do and damned if they don't, especially on DL. There are as many times people have complained about someone aging badly as there are people complaining about the plastic surgery they had, good or bad.

r154 I had totally forgotten about Theresa Russell. Love her.

Anyone else think Natatlie Dormer when they look at young Theresa?

After Melanie's initial success, how come she didn't really work all that much? I don't know, maybe I missed it, but she wasn't all that visible. She was more known as Antonio Banderas' wife, but she didn't seem to act much.

Maybe its because she cant act r206 ?

Hair color aside, she now resembles former "Dancing With the Stars" co-host Brooke Burke.

R206 I think it was probably a combination of aging in Hollywood and making her family her focus. Her baby voice and party girl persona don't really work after age 35. Hollywood is very ageist, especially towards women. I believe she got Antonio when he dumped his wife for her. When you get a man that way you're always on high alert for the next home wrecker. You don't want to go off on long location shoots and leave him alone. You need to be the best most devoted perfect wifey ever, so he won't stray. He'll probably stray anyway, but you can delay it for a while.

She looks like she's had her face "shortened." Is that even possible? Like her massive jaw was shaved down or something, because her entire lower face looks smaller, more "petite".

I see a little bit of Cybyl Sheppard

[quote]Cybyl Sheppard

Oh Dear.

She's got a brain for business and a face for excessive surgery.

She PAID for that face? She looks like a mannequin.

Why did she get so much plastic surgery to begin with? She didn't have a huge nose, she was cute. I could understand an actress getting understated work done over the years or fillers for wrinkles, but her looks mangled.

Her new face does look like a complete face transplant. Eerie.

How old is she and why does she look like a 75 year old UWS divorcee on reduced alimony!

What a hot mess!

She took a recent snapshot of Miss Dakota Johnson with her to the plastic surgeon and asked him to make her face look like the young actress.

Looks like Julie Bowen in the OP's pic but R188 looks like the original melanie mixed with Faye Dunaway.

She’s claiming nose cancer...don’t believe her...she got a nose job because her nose collapsed from her excessive cocaine abuse. She lies.

She looks like a busted Beverly D'Angelo

Strange how Dakota, still early in her career, is so much more promising than Melanie ever was.

[quote]She’s claiming nose cancer...don’t believe her...she got a nose job because her nose collapsed from her excessive cocaine abuse. She lies.

Even if Melanie's nose collapsed like that actress from Eastenders, Danniella Westbrook, who had a horrendous coke habit, WTF was that growth on top of Melanie's nose?!

Ms. Westbrook is 44, she looks 65+! She was adorable when she joined Eastenders as Samantha Mitchell.

There are tons of photos with Melanie and the big cancerous growth all over her nose, she indeed had skin cancer.

Not to worry. She has lovers.

Why wasn't the tumor cut off quickly? Did it keep growing back? If so, where is it now? Did she have a new nose grown on her body and replace the old one?

R219 I wouldn't say that. Dakota was in a franchise based on a popular book. Melanie had a very promising career when she was young. She had cult hits and an Oscar nom. She just wasn't able to capitalize on the early successes. We don't really know what Dakota's career will do in the future. The Twilight stars have struggled to find success post twilight. Most of the comic book movie stars don't have a lot of hits outside the franchises.

In Korea they're growing noses off people tailbones, seems to support the right kind of cartilage.

r224 sure, but Dakota has Suspiria coming out which will inevitably be her first Oscar nomination

How's her former gay husband Antonio doing?

Great fun in "Cecil B. Demented" and good sport about her age, surgery, etc. in it. My favorite Melanie moment ever still is when Cherish is telling her of being raped under the Christmas tree, Melanie smiles, Cherish yells, "You think that's funny?" And Melanie has a perfect giggle as she says, unconvincingly, "No, I don't."

The voice is fake, I think she thinks it is sexy like MM. I was home from work and caught the old film One on One. She was in at as a teenager. I swear, her voice was deeper when she was about 15 or 16. It is fake.

R230 - SAME! I loved her in that and always remember that scene and how Waters left in that giggle. She looked like she was having a lot of fun.

R202 - Please marry me! That cracked me up!!

Plastic surgery, copious make up, and PhotoShop are her friends.

Charlene, we ALL appreciate the wardrobe change but why is that left lip climbing up your face like that? And what are you hiding on the right side you won't let us see?

Julia, she is freaking me OUT!

Mashup of Jessica Lange and Ann Jillian.

Ann Jillian! YES! That's who her new face reminds me of.

If she had a big growth on her nose, she would not have posed for many pictures with it. One trick to get away with a lot of plastic surgery is to get a drastic haircut and color change. I think she would never go to public places with a huge tumor on the nose. That might have been a prep to throw people off her actual face change. Except this face looks like all the bones were broken and reset; just a nose tumor removal would just look like Melanie Griffith with a bandage on her nose.

Maybe she went to Korea to get it done. It’s very frightening surgery. Used to be done on transsexuals and cost $40,000 15 years ago by a Dr. Ousterhout in San Fransisco.

I don’t believe the cancer story.

Her face was BUSTED, and she needed to take drastic measures.

How did she get so twisted and wrinkly distorted looking. She’s only around 60 and has looked like a monster for years!

It's definitely a whole new face. The eyes are hers, but everything else looks totally different. It's scary.

It's almost as if she's in a witness protection program and she needed a disguise so no one would recognize her,

Mel, it worked. Too well.

I think she had skin cancer and a lot of unrelated plastic surgery.

I wonder if the Hollywood vultures got to her as a kid. Her mom was famously stalked and casting couched by Hitchcock. I mean, she started fucking Don at 14. Why do I think her childhood wasn't ribbons and playdates?

R241, I was thinking this is what drug cartel kingpins might do to slip away and start a new life.

Does feminism 3.0 mean that we aren’t supposed to talk about how it looks as if she had a face transplant? I remember some op-ed getting raked over the coals for discussing Renee Zelleger’s refreshening, and that was nothing compared to the Melanie Griffith Reconstruction.

Zellweger was in her mid forties when she had her remake and it was a success in my opinion. Melanie is over 60, has already had myriad procedures and has very thin and wrinkled skin. These new photos are very shopped. So as much as her features are different I don't expect her to look young and dewy. You can't get new skin, not yet.

She makes Cher and Dolly look like natural beauties.

Any chance she had rhinophyma on her nose (from rosacea)? Think W.C. Fields or Ted Kennedy. I don't think it looks like cancer. I've known several people with cancers on their face/nose and they didn't look like overgrowths of skin like Melanie did. Also, her nasal bridge does look collapsed in some photos.

She had a rotting nose from too much coke.

Yeah, the US shipped a bunch of illegal cattle dewormer to South America and they ended up using it to cut cocaine and it causes nose rot.

The photo in which she is wearing the black and white dress shows her familiar eyes. That's all, though.

I am in the dermatology business -I honestly think she has had a skin cancer on her nose -basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma. I also think looking at her nose now she has had what is called a forehead flap to cover the surgical defect. A flap of skin from forehead is attached to nose -it looks very odd —then after a bit the flap is cut back and the nose has new skin on it -that’s why in photos the nose skin looks very thick and not smooth -just my guess

R246 Wouldn’t rhinopyma mean she’s a drunk too?

Grew up with lions too. Can't wait to read "Working Bitch" if it ever sees the light of day.

I believe she had skin cancer. I also believe she’s been abusing her health and her skin and she’s never going to look okay again.

I agree Re:250 It looks like common MOHS surgery done on the nose and then reconstructed . I do think it is from the sun and not coke. She didn’t seem to have the collapsed septum or nostrils . They removed part of her nasal bridge and rebuilt it . I have a very pretty friend who went through hell with the same thing and it sent her into a severe depression before she got it corrected. ‭‭Mel did get a massive tune up , asides from her schnozz and I think it’s a marked improvement from the previous years . Looks like the dr removed filler or implants from both her cheeks and lips and reconstructed it all with a lift , etc ..

Looking at these pics I'm convinced more than ever the surgeon used her mother as a model to shoot for and I'm seeing a lot more young 'Tippi' in there than I've see in a long time.

That closed mouth, slightly wry expression with the new, doll like eyes and finer nose in the first pic is VERY reminiscent of her mom's same expression.

THis must have been a 12+ hour long procedure. She had a shit ton of work done.

When Marlo Thomas went to her surgeon's office, did she just request a "Grinch" nose? When I see her new face, all I can picture is her riding a sled through Whoville and stealing back presents from girls and boys.

Couldn't have happened to a bigger cunt (Marlo, not Melanie).

Marlo has the prescribed nosejob of her time. She had it done before I was born. I've had two rhinoplasties and many older women have that carved out caved in pinched nostril nose.

Her updated face reminds me of Australian television personality Kerri-Anne Kennerley. On another note, how long does it take to recover from a surgery like that? Must be awfully painful too.

A good plastic surgeon will know which nose looks best for you R259.

Duh, thanks for the obvious comment R261. I'm a dude who's had one septorhinoplasty and one revision. I wasn't trying to get a tiny nose. I was born with a beautiful nose with a strong masculine projection and a sexy flared tip. Still, some of us have actually played sports and been in a fight or two. So I have my nose fixed and straightened. I am even more handsome than before, but I liked the nose that god gave me better.

A "good plastic surgeon" is akin to saying good psychiatrist. Methods, treatments and desirable outcomes change drastically over a decade. So I don't understand your point? Many women had the worse than cookie cutter nose job back in the 1960s to early 80s. It's a type of butchery that looked way too caucasian cute to begin with and that reveals itself later in life to have not enough sustainable cartilage or organic material. These women went through life looking like a Pekingese. Later it changed to embarrassingly slender bridges with more natural nostrils. Has little to do with a good plastic surgeon. It was a style of work that people wanted. The list of women who have these nose jobs can better be supplied by someone of your generation R261.

Good is understanding your look, having your own mind and shopping for obtainable results that could please you. Melanie Griffith does not qualify. Dumb bitch bimbo would put anything in her body that might make her look "sexy".

A good hairstylist knows what cut best suits your face shape and coloring. Don't let a doctor pick out your new face. Phone a friend Melanie.

P. S. Never go to a plastic surgeon for a nose job. Seek the best ear nose and throat surgeon who works with athletes and accident victims.

Of course you don't understand R262. You are too busy letting us know how good looking you are. There are people that can paint and than there are artist. A good doctor will know by your features which nose would go with the rest of your face. They people that end up with the same nose tells you their doctor was incompetent.

*The people

R188 That picture is from 2017, so it is one of her previous "new faces." It was taken at an event for the Eva Longoria Foundation (confirmed by "the _va L__" behind her head).

She's 65 years old. What do you want from her?

I thought she was 60 or 61, not 65

R262 you're full of shit. You provided way too many particulars that weren't needed to make your point. That's usually indicative of someone lying.

She's the most worthless actress of the last 30 years. A waste of space and time. Near moron and so insecure that her every action shows in her face contortions. Her nose collapsed, you can watch it go. But she had skin cancer too. Do y'all know that up until 2015 that Melanie Griffith claimed to have no cosmetic surgery? Then in 2017 she gave a big interview saying she didn't realize how much bad work she had until the internet pointed it out to her. She hoped to look "more normal" soon. So this is what people get. Bitch got no man so now she wants to please the internet? She's stupendously stupid and desperate. Also a drug addict and bad mother. But in the trap you can do anything to her - that shows on her face too.

Don Johnson screwed around on her and she joined in, but with Banderas she got crazy to stay looking not young, but like a whore. She wanted him and stole him. Like all the ones before. But she was not young and he was not adventurous. Melanie didn't marry men smarter than her, just ones who suffered less. She's a talentless waste of time. And old whore.

I provided the details I wanted R268. I know who you are. You show up on every thread to do with cosmetic surgery. Don't call on me unless you want the truth. I can run down the malingering resume of your failed procedures if you like.

A big hunk was removed from Melanie's nose during the cancer surgery, leaving a crater and a deep squiggly, vertical line.

This current plastic surgeon is a miracle-worker. I wouldn't think that Melanie still possessed enough skin, cartilage, and tissue to create a new nose. When I saw the In Style photos, I kept thinking about the woman with a prosthetic nose held on by magnets.

I thought she was good in a small role in that James Franco movie.

OOps. I thought 270’s link was yet another face of Melanie.

[quote]i think the OP's pic makes her look like Ben Stiller's ex wife, Christine Taylor.

YES .she does. I think Ben Stiller bullied Christine into staying super skinny because now that they aren't together she has put a little weight on.

Sure Jan.

Based on the pics that have been posted thus far (and my own Google search!), it seems like this final nose surgery was the last of many other cosmetic (non-nose) "corrections." The pic upthread of her looking essentially like a non-makeup version of the InStyle photos--except still with the skin-grafted nose--suggests that.

The only thing I barely recognize are her eyes. It's like she's hiding in there.

It’s terrifying. If I were a Melanie I’d be thinking suicide.

R269 needs a translator. Can't decipher that gibberish.

Dakota Johnson is the female Sam Worthington, inexplicably cast in multiple projects, only to fade away once Hollywood figures out no one likes her. She wishes she had an ounce of the personality and talent her mother had during her career.

I don't get Dakota Johnson either. Her acting is so self conscious it's hard to watch.

What the hell is with all the photos of her nose after surgery outside without a hat? Christ you had skin cancer. I knew a guy who had it on his head last year, refuses to wear a hat and actually went to Mexico on vacation in the dead of summer. How the hell do you think you got in the first place?

“Doctor, make me look like Marg Helgenberger and Cybill Shepard whipped up in a blender.”

Dang, I haven't seen the crazy nose job troll in years. They always go on at length about their procedures and how gorgeous they are, then when people roll their eyes, they insist that anyone unimpressed with their posts are plastic surgeons they personally know.

I'm of the opinion that it's another troll of ours who goes into Crazy Nose Job Guy mode when the subject comes up.

^ His attack posts are great, though.

The only movie I really like her in was Working Girl 1988.

She was great in Body Double as a porn star!

She looks like a young Faye Dunaway in OP's first photo.

She doesn't look like her former self.. but the work is well done.

[quote]A big hunk was removed from Melanie's nose

Yes. His name was Antonio Banderas.

Some medical professionals say that there’s a link between cocaine use and cancer:

There are so many variables to cancer R290. Why does a long time smoker develop cancer yet another long time smoker doesn't? Why does someone like Dana Reeve, never smoked, get lung cancer? Why do some people develop breast cancer while others don't.

R289 wins the thread. haha

R287 no she doesn't look nearly as stunning as young Dunaway. Faye was one the most beautiful women ever in her youth. Melanie looks like Marg and the Modern Family chick.

OP she looks like an odd combination of her mother with just a LIGHT sprinkle of Jessica Lange.

What a whore! Three children with three different men?

[quote]What a whore! Three children with three different men?

I enjoyed Mel in Something Wild. But she is all up in pimp mamma kris Jenner kardashians ass. No surprise about the surgeries. Griffith is her own worst enemy. All she's ever cared about is getting high and getting fucked. She's relentless. She will never be above b actress ever again. Her kid Dakota is the same as her mother. They go to NA/AA together. Awful.

[quote]All she's ever cared about is getting high and getting fucked.

Sounds like most here on DL.

Maybe the future of plastic surgery is a whole new face. I wouldn’t think anything was wrong with this lady if she walked by me. But if I know it’s Melanie...*SWOON*.... get the smelling salts

You passed R296..

[quote]All she's ever cared about is getting high and getting fucked.

I can’t fault her for that.

But she was Miss Self Esteem!

Melanie was undeniably pretty before her duck lip phase. Not as beautiful as 'Tippi' but very attractive. This anti-thinner lip obsession that has struck so many women will continue to lead to disaster.

I like delicate features on women.

Isn't there a little young Kathleen Turner in there too?

She looks like a fat Anna Paquin

thin lips are an unattractive feature but it looks better than lips loaded with fix a flat, rubber cement and congealed pigs innards.

Angelina Jolie was partly responsible for everyone going overboard with the lip fillers.

Wow, r214, not even UES but UWS?!? Now, that’s shade.

R306 Don't do Anna Paquin like that!

The posters who doubted that she had a nasal tumor removed should look at the pix posted in this thread. It's pretty obvious in some of them. How did it get so far without her getting it treated? Obviously she's not afraid of surgery in general, so why wait?

After looking at those pictures I want to make a dermatologist appointment. Apparently the old Southern saying is wrong - you CAN be too white!

BUMP

She does look like the young Kathleen Turner now.

bump

I'm sure a lot of that is photoshop. Not that she hasn't overdone the surgery, but for some reason art directors seem to lose their shit whenever they get to work on a "blond/e" celebrity. You should see what they do to Chris Pratt when he's on the cover of one those men's magazines. (Not to mention Hugh Jackman and he's not even blond.)

Poor Melanie. No matter how old she is or how many movies she's racked up, there always has to be a photo of Tippi.

Those tiny, Marlo Thomas-type noses don't age well, it seems. Which makes me feel better about my own nose, of course.

She looks more like Jean Smart to me. Honest to God, why would she give away her face? She was pretty.

[quote] Is she in witness protection?

THIS.

The lower half is Ellen Burstyn, the upper half is Caitlyn Jenner.

Steven Bauer today.

It’s like she went her plastic surgeon and said, “Give me a Dee Wallace.”

Steven Bauer - geriatric mouth breather😫!

She’s posted a few pics of herself on Instagram since this shoot was released, and as I suspected, this is mostly a case of extreme photoshop — not a face transplant.

She has the former Bruce Jenner's look of permanent queasiness. Like she's at a high school reunion thinking 'it's obvious this hasn't worked but is anyone going to saying anything'.

Yeah, she looks like herself on Instagram. She really is heavily photoshopped.

"There are a few things I like to get out of the way up front so there's no confusion later... No S&M or any variations on that particular bent, no water sports... I don't work without a contract and I won't shave my pussy."

its almost like seeing the transformation of Bruce Jenner into Caitlyn its that dramatic. I wonder what her kids must think? IS she that desperate to be relevant still in Hollywood? Maybe she can completely alter her stupid speaking voice too? He face has no character......she looks like maybe a horrible burn victim completely transformed by a brilliant yet sinister plastic surgeon into a generially photogenic clone.

I do give her credit tho for her choice in mothers..........its hard to top Tippi Hendren

“Why Melanie Griffith is swearing off marriage after four divorces.”

Somehow this is clickbait and at the same time not necessary to click on because the headline answers the question. Four divorces. She sucks at marriage. Moving on.

Her more recent Instagram pictures look like the work has settled and, to be honest, she looks better than she has in years. I think this is a similar case to Renee Zellwegger. Maybe some of this work has to settle in. Renee started looking like her old self again a few months later.

You're right, R329, she looks great...

Classic line from Tootsie, which kind of applies here:

Rita: I'd like to make her look a little more attractive, how far can you pull back? Cameraman: How do you feel about Cleveland?

[quote] I won't shave my pussy.

Nor will I, and in this I am UNANIMOUS!

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Op's picture is close to Kathleen Turner about 25 years ago. As others have said Melanie has disappeared.

I'm finding it difficult to believe this woman is Melanie Griffith. Seriously.

Notice how in all three photos she's showing mainly her left side? Makes one wonder if this is the GOOD side, what horror awaits on the other...

R266, my sister is 64 and looks 25 years younger than this train wreck. You must be 18 years old...

I don't know how any of these surgery-addicted stars can look at themselves in the mirror every day, where there's no heavy photoshop or instagram filters.

mels has been surgeried before, many times.she gone too far now. now, she resembles pam anderson.i also would not recognize her without captions.

Her nose is croooked.

That nose is in Michael Jackson territory

Her current appearance is providing more pure entertainment than any of her films did —

R339. My gawd, put the bottle down and try that again.

She wears a lot of makeup to cover the rubber cap on her butchered nose.

And I should know!

"Be sure to click through to see all of them. Yikes!"

True that. Remember Caitlyn's glamour shots? sHe'll never look that good again.

Goldie must be happy to be standing next to Melanie - she looks better by comparison.

Couldn’t they have done some with her neck when she got the new face?

Goldie's scorched chest looks like a corn tortilla chip.

Goldies problem is that she wants to be perceived as eternally 35 years old.

They ALL do, r350. And after all the work they have done that makes them look like space aliens, they think they've achieved it.

Kathy Lee Gifford!

R35 she should cover ever millimeter of her body if she wants to be thought of as a day under 150. Her body skin is a great advertisement for sunblock and long sleeved rash guards.

That should be R350 not 35.

I can easily pass for 35.
