Melanie Griffith bemoans “superficial” Hollywood

TORONTO — Actress Melanie Griffith is lashing out at the industry that brought fame and fortune to her, her husband, her daughter and her mother.

The 56-year-old star, who is married to actor Antonio Banderas, is the daughter of the late Tippi Hendren and the mother of actress Dakota Johnson (from her marriage to Don Johnson).

In an interview with Fox News, Griffith said Hollywood is a “very superficial place” obsessed with “youth and beauty.”

The actress said most of the scripts she gets are “s***ty and stupid and superficial.”

Griffith said she doesn’t even go to the movies anymore because “there is nothing to see.”

The big movies, she said, “are all cartoons and super heroes.”

Griffith said she’s looking at the small screen for acting jobs, including a possible guest spot as Scott Caan’s mother on Hawaii Five-O.

The actress was one of the hottest stars in Hollywood after scoring an Oscar nomination for 1988’s Working Girl (for which she won a Golden Globe). These days, she is mostly out of the spotlight.

“It is what I never thought would happen when I was in my 20s and 30s, hearing actresses b**** about not getting any work when they turned 50,” she told Fox. “Now I understand it, it is just different.”
