There’s nothing like a heartfelt birthday message to warm the heart, and Melanie Griffith did just that for her mom, the legendary actress Tippi Hedren. Celebrating her mother's incredible milestone of turning 90, Melanie took to Instagram with a glowing tribute. On January 20, the star of Working Girl made sure everyone knew how much her mom means to her.

“My beautiful, elegant mother turned 90 yesterday!” Melanie, 62, wrote with a radiant smile in her voice.

Heartfelt Messages Pour In for Tippi

The love for Tippi didn’t stop with Melanie’s post. Fans of the mother-daughter duo rushed to leave heartfelt comments, celebrating Tippi’s milestone. “Aw, how beautiful. Happy birthday to your mother,” one fan wrote. Another chimed in, “She still looks gorgeous as ever, Melanie.” And a third fan exclaimed, “Wow, she looks fantastic! Good for you, Tippi! Happy birthday.”

But here’s the thing: the relationship between Melanie and Tippi wasn’t always this warm and loving. In fact, growing up, the two didn’t share the best bond. Back in the day, Melanie often felt overlooked by her famous mother.

“Melanie felt forgotten by her mother,” an insider exclusively revealed to Closer Weekly in December 2019. “She went back and forth to see her father, Peter Griffith, and his new family. She felt her mother held back love and was so focused on becoming a successful actress that she felt neglected.”
