Can you guess who this Hollywood star is?

<p>She used to be one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood, but these days, Melanie Griffith is almost unrecognisable. New photos taken of the 60-year-old star arriving at a LA restaurant have sparked speculation that she’s undergone more plastic surgery.</p> <p><img width="500" height="760" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/44993/image__500x760.jpg" alt="Image_ (37)" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"/></p> <p>Griffith hasn’t been shy when it comes to her struggles with sobriety and cosmetic surgery. In a new interview with <em>People</em> magazine, the star said she was “a totally functioning mum” despite her substance abuse issues.</p> <p>“I wasn’t like a drunk-on-the-floor, out-of-it person,” she said. “I didn’t do some things I probably should have done but, mostly, I was there for my kids. They had a sort of privileged gypsy life.”</p> <p>Griffith first entered rehab for an alcohol and cocaine addiction back in 1988 and most recently returned in 2009.</p> <p>Sadly, her addiction didn’t stop at drugs and alcohol – it even extended to plastic surgery. “I didn’t [realise how drastic the change was] until people started saying, ‘Oh my god, what has she done?!’” Griffith told <em>Porter</em> magazine.</p> <p>“I was so hurt I went to a different doctor and he started dissolving all of this sh** that this other woman doctor had put in. Hopefully, I look more normal now.”</p> <p>What do you think of Melanie Griffith's new look? Tell us in the comments below. </p>
