‘Bandaged again’

Though at the time, she did not address the spot, in 2018, she revealed her struggles with skin cancer. In an Instagram share, she stated, “Bandaged again after having dermabrasion, the final step to fix the now removed basil cell skin cancer. If any of you have it, get it fixed. If you lay in the sun, are exposed to lots of sun, be CAREFUL. Use sun screen. Get checked out by your Dermatolgist. If you don’t have one, get one, or go to your nearest clinic and ask to be tested for it. More info to come!”

In the same year, Griffith shared, as reported by PEOPLE, “It’s a scary thing when you’re an actress and you depend on your face for work. But I realize I have to put a Band-Aid on it, and it’s fine. I just look like a dork.”



 

Addressing ageism in the entertainment industry, the ‘Lolita’ actress said, “I think that theater is kinder on a 60-year-old face. It’s a different deal when you’re older. And we’re old. I don’t mean it badly, and I don’t mean it like, ‘Oh, poor me,’ or anything like that. It’s just a different deal when you’re an older person. It’s different from being the hot stuff to being the old hot stuff.”

Along with… actress, author, producer, director, philanthropist, mother, daughter, wife, girlfriend, sober sister, friend, listener, participant, voice, business woman, bad ass, loving, understanding, wickedly wonderful sense of humor and humble. Yes, I know, I definitely have a 40 Year girlfriend crush on Ms. Curtis!! She truly is all heart.”



 

A user commented, “LOVE to see a woman celebrating a woman’s triumph We all win.” Another one shared, “Melanie you are all of these adjectives too!” “Melanie, as I watched her win my thoughts were of you, knowing how elated you were for your very best girlfriend,” the third user added.
