August 9

Academy Award-nominated American film actress Melanie Griffith aka Mrs Antonio Banderas was born on August 9, 1957, in New York City.

Griffith’s first major role was in Arthur Penn's Night Moves (1975), which got her attention and typecast her as a sexy nymphet. Substance abuse problems derailed her career for nearly a decade. Her comeback started with Brian De Palma's Body Double (1984), which led to her starring role in Jonathan Demme's Something Wild (1986), which also led to her playing the title role in Mike Nichols' Working Girl (1988) which became a hit, earning an Academy Award nomination as Best Actress and winning the Golden Globe award as Best Actress - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. Her most notable work since was lip augmentation surgery in 2002.


August 9 is also Singapore's National Day, which we are celebrating next Wednesday, at Tuck Shop, from 8.30 pm.

*No show tonight (2 August). Next show on 8 August.

She's obviously had work done. What kind of work, we don't wanna know cos it seems like she has developed plenty lip muscle over the years.
