The legendary Tippi Hedren turned 91 years old on Tuesday and her daughter, Melanie Griffith, is helping her celebrate. She shared several throwbacks of her mom to social media as well as some photos of them together.
“Happy Birthday Mom!! You are as beautiful today, at 91 years old, as you were at 22 in this first photo. I love you so much. ♥️ @tippihedrenofficial,” 63-year-old Griffith writes in the caption.

Johnson recently updated fans on Hedren’s renowned exotic cat collection, revealing that the icon still lives with tigers and lions. “She has 13 or 14,” Johnson says on The Graham Norton Show. “There used to be like 60 cats, and now there’s just a couple.”

Johnson referenced a series of photographs, showcasing Hedren in the 1970s with a 400 lb. lion named Neal! That’s when Norton followed up by asking Johnson if she grew up with the exotic animals, too. “By the time I was born they were all in huge compounds and it was a lot safer,” Johnson says. “It wasn’t as totally psycho as it was when they first started.”
Happy birthday to Tippi Hedren!
