What a class act she is! A role model for women of all ages. So well spoken and intelligent, and terribly professional, even while doing an interview in what looks like the guy's basement. God bless the Midwest!

Many things that I never knew about Tippi Hedren in this interview. Very well done. I really appreciate that the interviewer was so courteous and did not interrupt the guest, as so many interviewers do.

Tippi Herdren and Joey Bishop visited us while we were guarding Anlo Bridge North of Hue in Vietnam. They came down the road in a small convoy right through the war zone and spent around 30 minutes with us at the bridge. I still treasure my signed photo of her she gave to me that day. She is still a beautiful lady. This was in 1968.

A we years ago a friend and I got the pleasure to go on a travel bus to shimbala . ..we got to meet the Lions up close and personal and pet a three legged jaguar...and when it was time to leave we were late getting on the bus .. Ms Hedrin ...came home and we got to personally got to talk to her...just my friend and I and the tour director...so the bus couldn't leave and they could not see where we were..so we got her for about a half hour...it was great and she was so down to earth and friendly..and was wearing slacks and a white pressed blouse and her hair was in a ponytail...and no make-up...she was still classy and elegant...it was a great visit ..and I wish I could go again and see the new cats...and hear the sounds and enjoy them...

We worked on a television remake of ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS back in the 80's with her daughter Melanie Griffith and her then husband Steve Bauer...not to mention John Huston! Great memories...

No cosmetic surgery and so beautiful!

[@teeniebeenie8774]

her hitch movies were his best!

[@teeniebeenie8774]

too bad that son bitch ruined her career with his selfish obsessions

[@user-kn9rs2ct4l]

美しいだけでなく、上品が際立つ女優さんでした。有名な監督の大のお気に入りになってしまった為に私達ファンは、彼女を見ることが出来なくなり、とても残念でした。

[@JT-rx1eo]

So Hitchcock's Vertigo was essentially a personal story of obsession.

[@clapolla]

She's a lovely lady. The interviewer couldn't have seemed less interested in her lion rescue story had he purposely tried.

[@KS-ts3le]

She did more interviews, bragging than movies.

[@chrisk8187]

And what are your "claims to fame"?

[@michaelhuck]

So Hitchcock RUINED her career BUT she did 60 movies and tv shows after Hitchcock and even decades later trade papers wrote she is one of the highest paid actresses in the world?????????

[@chrisk8187]

WK, you would know being as worldly as you seem to be. Alfred Hitchcock was a great gifted film producer and a "creepy jerk" of which I was unaware. What a disappointment. At least Ms. Hedren didn't stoop to his level.

[@thomasnorman9536]

Her and her daughter could have been twins

[@wk1810]

"He was very cheap" I'm sorry, miss Hedren, 600 bucks a week wasn't chicken feed in the '60's! "Um, I'm a Lutheran, um, a conservative Lutheran" So, given the vast amount of trash Hollywood produces, he must have a very limited variety of personalities to interview! Why is he even doing this?

[@Jasper7182009]

I beg to differ. Tippi Hedren was at the beginning of her career she had made two significant movies with Alfred Hitchcock and she couldn’t benefit from it. The performance that she gave him The Birds at $600 a week was chicken feed! No it’s not chicken feed to a plumber or a teacher but you can’t pull out any plumber or teacher and put them into an Alfred Hitchcock movie and see if they’re going to deliver a performance like Miss Hedren gave in The Birds ... her first movie. You have to compare that $600 a week with the salary of other actresses at the time and it was dirt cheap what she was being paid. Especially after her performance in The Birds.

@@Jasper7182009 acting? It wasn't like she was saving lives, or even contributing anything else of any use or value to humanity. Entertainment is something we can survive w/out - as the pandemic proved, sufficiently.

dorky interviewer.
