Dakota Johnson has been a leading figure in the film industry for almost a decade now and is no stranger to the spotlight anymore. She was born into a well-known family of actors. Dakota’s parents, Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, are both major Hollywood stars, so it’s no surprise that she followed in their footsteps. The actress made her film debut in 1999, but it wasn’t until 2010 when she started to feature in films with significant roles, earning her an impressive credit score!

At the age of ten, she made her film debut in Crazy in Alabama (1999), a dark comedy film starring her mother. Johnson was discouraged from continuing her acting career until she graduated from high school, at which point she started auditioning in Los Angeles for roles. She had a supporting role in the comedy 21 Jump Street, the independent comedy Goats, and the romantic comedy The Five-Year Engagement after appearing in a minor role in The Social Network (2010). Dakota then landed the starring role of Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades of Grey film series in 2015. She was nominated for a BAFTA Rising Star Award in 2016 for her role in the film.
