Griffith has skin cancer op

ACTRESS Melanie Griffith has had surgery to remove early stages of skin cancer from her face.

Spokeswoman Robin Baum said the procedure was done early enough to prevent further complications.

Griffith, 52, was left with a black eye after the operation.

The Working Girl star has a 12-year-old daughter with her husband, actor Antonio Banderas.

Griffith also has an adult son and daughter from previous relationships.

She is set to appear on an episode of TV’s Nip/Tuck next year.
