Trivia time: Tippi Hedren (The Birds) was from New Ulm, Minnesota. She is the mother of Melanie Griffith. I will now change my Avatar to her for a short time. :)

I could tell you quite a bit about Tippi Hedren and/or ESPECIALLY Alfred Hitchcock. I've done extensive research on the latter, and I've learned a bit about Tippi in the meantime.

For starters, Tippi HATED Alfred Hitchcock.

P.S. I love your avatar. Great movie. And Tippi is gorgeous.

I'll post here, just in case anyone else cares.

A basic summary of Tippi and Hitchcock's relationship was they absolutely hated eachother.

Hitchcock originally hired Tippi for himself, not to boost 'The Birds' or her career, which had just begun. As you may or may not know, Hitchcock was literally obssessed with the beautiful Grace Kelly, who had worked with him in 'To Catch A Thief', 'Dial "M" For Murder', and 'Rear Window'.

After Grace's third Hitchcock movie, 'Dial "M"', she left America for her husband, who was the prince Monaco, making her a princess.

Around a decade later, Hitchcock spotted Tippi, who was then a model. He immediately thought of his lost Grace; Tippi had a similar effect on him with her beauty. He immediately asked her if she'd like a contract with him (I believe a 7-year contract), and she accepted after thinking it over.

Well, long story-short, they began 'The Birds' and disagreed on everything. She didn't like the way Hitchcock treated his actors. He was very serious and did not guide any of his actors, thinking that they should be able to handle themselves (Hitchcock was notorious for saying "actors are cattle".) He also had a very twisted, and sometimes perverted sense of humor. She didn't like any of this. In a result, they argued, fought, and picked on eachother constantly. The trouble was, Tippi was on a contract with him.

Next, Tippi was in Hitchcock's "Marnie", playing the title charcater. They hated eachother so much by this time that it was rumored that they weren't even talking to eachother. (That rumor turned out to be bullshit, but it wasn't too far off).

Years later, Tippi's daughter, Melanie, told an interviewer:

"Hitchcock was a motherfucker. And you can quote me."



There ya' go, hope I didn't bore you!

No no, not boring at all. Thanks for posting the details. I love trivia, not the game, just the interesting little factoids. :)

The Shining
The Abominable Dr. Phibes
The Fly
Dog Soldiers

I dont know about The Shining, my friends arent to interested. But they love the sounds of the rest of 'em!
The Abominable Dr. Phibes, another one I love. Vincent Price was so awesome, no one has/had a voice like his, and that look he did with his eyes. Delightfully creepy.

One of my all-time favourites...Price is always amazing, but that's one of his best.
