00:00A cuddle for mum on her big night.
00:04Melanie Griffiths cosies up to her mother, Tippi Hedren,
00:07before presenting her with a Lifetime Achievement Award
00:10on the opening night of the Bel Air Film Festival in Los Angeles.
00:15Tippi is best known for her work in Hitchcock films The Birds and Marnie,
00:20and she was blown away by the honour.
00:23It is, it's awesome.
00:25I've been able to do a lot of very interesting things in my life,
00:29but to have an accolade for it is even better
00:34because it's, I look back on my life and the things that I've been able to do
00:41because I walked through a door that opened for me on every level
00:47and so to be honoured like this is really wonderful.
00:53So with such glittering careers between them, what has Tippi taught Melanie?
00:57I don't think I've taught her anything.
01:00Tell me how to spend money really well.
01:04Ouch.
01:05And this talented family doesn't end there.
01:09Tippi is grandmother to Dakota Johnson,
01:11who'll be starring in the big screen adaptation of racy novel Fifty Shades of Grey.
01:17But will Tippi be watching?
01:19No, no, no, no.
01:23I saw the TV thing that told Olive trailer and I think it's lovely
01:28and that's about all I'm going to see or, yeah.
01:34You must be proud of them.
01:36Of course.
01:37Oh shit, I just love my grandchildren.
01:40They are just so amazing.
01:42Tippi also stars in the Bella Film Festival's premiere of Happy Hands,
01:47a documentary about the creation of Vietnamese nail salons in America.
