Melanie Griffith Career

After a long career, Melanie was asked by Elle Magazine if she ever got the chance to work with a female director, “No! I think I've worked with maybe one other female director. There's not many. I think there's something inherently different about working with females, don't you? I mean, it's just a different way of looking at life, being a woman. But I think we can handle many things at one time and I don't think that's necessarily true for men. “
