Hedren’s granddaughter, actress Dakota Johnson sent a shoutout to her doting grandmother with a series of pictures that emphasized the veteran’s enchanting beauty. She revealed the unique nickname for her grandmother, calling her “Mor Mor.”

In July, Griffith threw it back in style with a series of photos, proving that impressive beauty does indeed run among the three generations of ladies. The “Lolita” star first shared an image of her and Hedren by the pool.

During an appearance on “The Graham Norton Show” in May, “The Fifty Shades of Grey” star opened up about what it was like growing up with Hedren, a strong animal activist. She revealed that her grandmother has 13 or 14 lions and tigers.

The 30-year-old recalled that her grandmother used to have about 60 cats when she was young, but it has now reduced to a couple of animals. For Hedren’s 87th birthday in 2017, her awesome daughter and granddaughter brought similar joyful energy.

The entire family, including Griffith’s other children Stella Banderas and Alexander Bauer, reunited to celebrate the matriarch. They enjoyed a lovely family dinner and surprised the celebrant with a beautiful cake.
