Melanie Griffith grew up with a famous mom, Tipi Hedren, and a pet lion, NeilThe family adopted Neil after a trip to AfricaNeil inspired them to make the film Roar about the pretty but predatory beasts, which was sadly a box office flopThere is something wild about actress Melanie Griffith's upbringing.As this incredible series of photographs shows, while her peers were growing up, fighting with their parents and doing everything else a normal teenager does, the 14-year-old Griffith had another influence at home - her enormous, live-in pet lion.Pictured in 1971 lounging by the pool, playfighting, and even in bed together, Melanie and Neil, as the hulking African big cat was known, share a touching and gentle bond.In one photograph Griffith looks completely carefree even as Neil grapples her leg with his paws as she jumps into the water at their home in Sherman Oaks, a suburb of Los Angeles.Griffith, the daughter of famed starlet and Hitchcock muse Tipi Hedren, lived with her mother and her then-husband Noel Marshall, a Hollywood agent.In the series of pictures, first published in LIFE Magazine, Marshall and Hedren are also seen happily co-existing with Neil. In one, the lion tries to get the attention of Marshall by roaring in his face as he sits - entirely nonplussed - at his typewriter.Turns out, not much different than having any other kind of domesticated pet.Neil is seen lounging on the floor as the maid steps over him, chilling with Griffith in her bed and mostly just horsing, or rather lioning, around with his humanSEE AMAZING PHOTOS @ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2787415/They-bought-zoo-Amazing-photos-young-Melanie-Griffith-mom-Tipi-Hedren-pet-lion-Neil.html
