For many people, Nathalie Kay Hedren, also known as Tippi Hedren, is considered an icon. As a fashion model and animal rights activist, Tippi has certainly made an impact.
As a model, she graced the front cover of magazines, such as Life and Glamour. And from what we can see today, the 87-year-old mother and grandmother has not lost much of her beauty.
A few weeks ago, 60-year-old actress Melanie Griffith, shared an Instagram picture celebrating her mom’s beauty. In the photo, Tippi had her arms lovingly wrapped around her daughter. Melanie shared the image with the caption:
With my eternally young and beautiful Mom. She is 87 and lives life to the fullest.
