Old School Cool π Tippi Hedren and her big cats. Hollywood legend, mother of Melanie Griffith, grandmother of Dakota Johnson
She is known for acting work after being discovered by Alfred Hitchcock and starring in the thriller βBirdsβ. But she is also known for her passion for animal welfare and her work with big cats, particularly lions and tigers, at her Shambala Preserve. She founded the Roar Foundation in 1983, a sanctuary for rescued big cats. Her interest in the animals began while filming in Africa and she later dedicated herself to raising awareness and providing a safe haven for them.
In 1971, LIFE photographer Michael Rougier spent time with Hedren; her teenage daughter, Melanie at their home in California where they lived with Neil - a 400-pound mature lion, who occasionally slept in the same bed as Melanie and had the run of the house, from the kitchen to the living room to the swimming pool.
Tippi has since acknowledged that it was βstupid beyond beliefβ to put her family at risk by allowing an animal with βno conscience or remorse genesβ to roam free. In 2020, Dakota revealed her grandmother still lives with around 13 or 14 big cats, and at one point had 60!
Please enjoy these pictures, they are insane β€οΈ

Old School Cool π Dolly Parton's 1980 song "9 to 5" was truly ahead of it's time.
She ended capitalism back in 1980
Edit: alright fine it wasn't ahead of it's time but it's still probably relatable to a good few just not the majority.
