Dakota Johnson has opened up about her family’s feelings when first watching HBO’s The Girl.

Dakota Johnson claimed that Alfred Hitchcock once gave her mother Melanie Griffith a miniature of her grandmother, Tippi Hedren, in a coffin. Hedren, one of the renowned filmmaker’s "Hitchcock blondes," or muses, starred in two of his films: 1963’s "The Birds" and 1964’s "Marine." The actress previously claimed that Hitchcock became controlling as he groomed her to be a star. Johnson revealed that her mother received the creepy mini coffin as a Christmas gift when she was just a child.

Dakota Johnson comes from one of the most important in entertainment. The actress is the daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, two of the greatest actors of their time. Griffith is also the daughter of Tippi Hedren, one of Alfred Hitchcock’s muses and an icon of the era.

We’re in a room with some execs.
