 Sean Connery coming over was normal because Griffin and his two siblings, Alex and Dominique, were the children of an heiress, Ellen Griffin, and a writer and producer, Dominic Dunn, and the nieces and nephews of two famous writers, Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunn. He was born into Hollywood royalty, and nobody who knew him as a child would have been too surprised to hear that he'd go on to play over a hundred roles in film and TV.
