So, Melanie Griffith grew up with a pet lion, living with them in the 1970s at their home in Los Angeles, California.

The pet lion, Neil, lived together with the family. Life Magazine documented the extraordinary event, with pictures showing Hedren resting on Neil’s back. The lion even slept under blankets in Melanie Griffith’s bed.
