    Picture set from 1971 shows Griffith relaxing outside with her pet - called Neil - at her home in Los Angeles
    The intimate set even show her sharing a bed with Neil, and seeming carefree even as he grabs at her legs
    Griffith's mother - starlet Tippi Hedren - and her then-husband Noel Marshall, a Hollywood Agent, are also shown
    Hedren casually uses Neil as a pillow while she reads the news - while Marshall puts up with the lion as he types
    The family adopted Neil from Anton Lavey, High Priest of the Church of Satan, who called the beast Togar
    Lavey, a former lion tamer, had kept him in his San Francisco apartment, but authorities told him he couldn't stay
    Neil inspired them to make a film - Roar - about the majestic beasts, which ended up being a box office flop

Were the teeth removed from the lion?   Was all its food put through a blender?    :laugh:
