Stella Banderas

DAKOTA JOHNSON’S LITTLE SISTER HAS HER EYE ON HOLLYWOOD

Antonio Banderas was honored at the Vanity Fair Awards in Madrid, and his daughter Stella del Carmen Banderas, 23, (with ex Melanie Griffith) was there to cheer him on. Cute Stella is the younger half-sister of Dakota Johnson – she was born in Spain and speaks Spanish, and aspires to an acting career like Dakota. She’s got a good start – Stella is dating Eli Meyer, the son on Ron Meyer, who happens to be Vice Chairman of NBC Universal.

Dakota Johnson Melanie Griffith Stella Banderas Tippi Hedren

MELANIE GRIFFITH PRESIDES OVER ONE OF HOLLYWOOD’S FIRST FAMILIES

Who better can represent the women of Hollywood than three generations of successful actresses in one family? It all started with Tippi Hedren, 85, who was discovered by Alfred Hitchcock in the early 60’s to star in “The Birds.” Her daughter Melanie Griffith, 58, grew up and starred in two of our favorite movies – “Something Wild” and “Working Girl” – among many others. Not long ago, Melanie’s daughter with Don Johnson, Dakota Johnson, 26, burst into stardom with “Fifty Shades of Grey.” The family turned up at the Elle Women of Hollywood Awards to watch Dakota receive the “emerging star” award. Above, right, Dakota’s little sister Stella Banderas, 19, looks like she might follow in their footsteps.

Hovertrax Melanie Griffith Stella Banderas

MELANIE GRIFFITH HAS MORE THAN ONE PRETTY DAUGHTER

It so happens Melanie Griffith has ANOTHER beautiful daughter – 18 year old Stella Banderas. Melanie and Stella shopped together at Fred Segal and couldn’t wait to get to the parking lot so Stella could try out her new Hovertrax board. (It’s like a mini-Segway.) This new invention for lazy people costs about $1500 but looks like fun.

MELANIE GRIFFITH CAN GIVE UP A LOT OF THINGS, BUT NOT CIGARETTES

Melanie Griffith puffs on a cigarette while her daughter Stella looks on (disapprovingly?) as they shop in West Hollywood. Melanie is still married to Stella’s father Antonio Banderas despite many predictions that it wouldn’t last. In fact, Melanie and Antonio costarred in a sci-fi thriller called Automatica in Spain that will be released next year.

IT’S ANTONIO BANDERAS BEHIND THAT GREY BEARD

We’re thinking Antonio Banderas can walk around pretty much unrecognized since he grew this grey goatee. (It’s kind of a chick repellant.) He made some father-daughter time for his little girl Stella and took her to Katsuya, not far from where they live. The Spy Kids franchise really paid off for him, Antonio has Spy Kids 4 coming out this year.

Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas and their assorted kids (mostly HERS) are in Aspen for the holidays. Antonio decided to spend some quality time with his daughter Stella, 13, so he took her shopping at, of all places, Dior! Maybe they were buying a gift for mom.

Stella Banderas definitely has a cool father. Antonio brought his almost 13 year old daughter shopping at The Grove – her birthday is later this month. Stella’s mom Melanie Griffith checked back into rehab recently and it was rumored that Antonio wanted to end the marriage. But Antonio made a point of denying any kind of split and insists emphatically “I’m not leaving!”
