He didn’t love her he was obsessed with her, big difference.

I loved her in The Birds!!! I also LOVE her name!

I luv Tippy. She's a fabulous actress. Her animal refuge makes me luv her more.

Such extraordinary beauty --- truly a blessing and a curse.

She was an absolutely gorgeous woman...I can certainly see why he'd be smitten with her.

Damn it. Kinda wanna go back in time and visit Hitchcock with a baseball bat.

Hitchcock had a house in my home town. He was extremely unattractive and had no insight that women don't want him. She had no legal protection. Tippi has done great work rescuing great cats and retired movie animals. I also prefer animal company often because they don't manipulate or gaslight you. What you see is what you get with them. Her husband donated a large park in the LA area called Griffith park and sometimes you can see surviving Ca mountain lions living in the area and avoiding the freeway.

To whoever narrates these gems: you were blessed with a fine speaking voice!

One of the most beautiful women that will ever walk and I thank her for being true to herself and such a wonderful woman, Brian

When I met her in the 1990s at her animal sanctuary Shambala, north of LA, she was still an extremely stunning woman who carried herself with fortitude, grace, and dedication. She devoted her life to rescuing maltreated animals of all stripes and was one of the most focused people I have ever had the good fortune to meet.

Was struck by one particular scene in The Birds-the one where the man lit a cigarette at the gas station causing an explosion-the camera showed stills of Tippi's look of horror. I always wondered why she didn't make more movies and it was because of that lecherous Hitchcock. Of course, if Hitch had been good looking and young the starlets would have been harassing him.

She was stunning. A Beauty ahead of her time.

Hitch should have known that he was not her type, in addition the fool was an old man and married. No respect for his wife sad.

Your thoughts at the end are so brilliant haha! I was just there thinking "oh that's not love" and then you said everything that needed saying, spot on

The scene when the man whistles are Tippi’s character is one of my favourites actually!! I’ve adopted that quite, smile abs always use it when guys come on to me like that..

You know age of vintage!!!!regardless of the subject,you have great narrative,and you give it 100%!!!!🤗🇬🇧

Old school 'Weinstein'... it's as old as humanity.

I met Tippi in the mid 80s she is a nice ,down to earth lady.

I remember watching the movie The Girl about Hitchcock's obsession with Tippi Hedren. It was rather shocking how no one came to her defense against him but I guess since Hitchcock was such a successful and wealthy person, they let him get away with anything. It is a good thing that actors are no longer contracted to movie studios and directors. As independent contractors, they get to decide which projects they wish to pursue and audition for.

Still living and visit with ..she's doing great..

Good on Tippi for not bending to his will. Manipulative, possessive people like this are dangerous and disgusting. I hate the way people romanticise the awful things these directors got away with, just because they made a popular movie.

What I find hard to understand is why she couldn't find a good lawyer to get her out of her 7-year contract.

Your videos are interesting subjects. But your presentation could be greatly improved with tight editing of your copy. You repeat the same things three and four times, as I've noted on one of your other posts. Also, coordinating your images with your narration would give your piece greater meaning and value.

🤫🤔She was always an unusual beauty to say the least. Like most people I am aware she made other moves. But will always remember her for just the one ,you featured The Birds 🐦. Better to be remembered for something, than nothing I guess....

Much respect to Tippy! There's something to be said about a person's moral character and personal conduct. She had character and stuck to her code of life. I still enjoy Mr Hitchcock and in reality this story plays out across the world daily just with different actors. It is what it is.

so beautiful! she was stunning in Marnie.

I really like the subject matter of your videos and your perspective on them, very respectful of women and what they went through. Some of the points are repetitive though, and it would help to be more clear about when and who you are quoting when you are quoting someone.

She was the original Tiger Queen !

Just watched The Birds for the first time.. I'm in love.. ❤😊❤

A Stunning,beautiful,classy lady and person..A good actress and love the film Marnie with handsome Sean Connery and Birds..Hitchcock talented as he was treated her with a cruel obsession ,a stalker in a time where women did not have a voice especially in Hollywood ..Well done Tippi for standing up for herself and stick to your valued morals💕

She loved animals and anyone who does, I highly respect them because I love animals too.

How awful, to be an animal lover and have the birds treated so cruelly. You made clear how her acting career was ruined, making me wonder…. She appears to have had a lot of money long into her life, given the lions and such she cared for. If I’m right, do we know how she maintained such a high income? I understand she was paid 7 years even if not acting. But it appears she maintained quite a fortunate lifestyle. Thank you.

Who would have thought Hitch being such a perv, totally would not have thought that. Mind you, he had the looks and charisma, what a hunk.

I'm Minnesotan too. Wow it's really disturbing to find out details about how these Hollywood women were treated. I'm sure some things have changed w the metoo movement but oh my gosh there's narcissistic psychos in every walk of life. Not just Hollywood.

He was a great director.. but a disgusting vile man!!!

Tippy was absolutely lovely. She struggled to support her daughter and herself under the obsessive, watchful eye of Hitchcock. I am really shocked to learn he behaved this way toward her. I wonder if he would have dared to treat this young, talented starlet the same way if she'd had a husband, especially one who wasn't afraid to step in and say "back off" to Hitchcock. Poor thing but, sadly, those were the times. May she rest in peace.

Her legacy is film dynasty

Principled Lady!

I remember seeing Tippy in a funny film with Marlon Brando and Sophia Loren, it was only a small part but she was very good as always, it seems to me that it was the late fifties or early sixties ?

Ol Hitch was a strange man, always wanted blond and beautiful girls. Every one had trouble with him and his dictatorial way he obsessed over them. Creepy

I suspect it happens now!!!!😳🇬🇧

That cola I belive was Jolt cola ..

She still drives too

She was beautiful

I think these actresses of the past had their own set of challenges and it's too bad Americans never wondered back then how these talented actresses were being treated during filming. It must have been a hush don't talk don't tell attitude in Hollywood because they were threatened that their career would be ruined if they told anyone. Decade ago I was looking into the deeper layer of things in this country and found out how terrible these young women and child actors...male and female....were treated. Many sexually hurassed and some raped ... probably more than we'll ever know. I always wondered why so many child actors and young actors turned to drugs and alcohol. It wasn't just bc of the stress of the job and being famous. It was bc of their treatment....the severe abuse. Long abusive hours on the sets and they were sitting ducks to all the pervs in Hollywood. I'm happy for them that the truth is finally coming out but it's a little too late for many. Plus how mysterious so many of these stars and music industry singers up and killed themselves. And the 27 club. 🤔 I'm sure we will never know how deep the horrors went for these people. And to top it off, you had to join the psycho club or get ruined as an actor. And if you didn't become one of them then you probably were continually ostracized and never allowed to go to Hollywood social gatherings. I was ensnared in a cult at age 11. Sounds like Hollywood was a typical cult

much respect for Tippi Hedren. Deborah Kerr too if that's her at 0:14

Thank you excellent presentation ..Great linkage of women and Dakota Johnson is so lovely and exhibits the grace of her beautiful grandma The pictures of Melanie G and the house lion are precious I never knew how he Hitchcock tormented her , she stayed true to who she was so she was a trailblazer

Hitch went nuts

Yes she was a beauty, more than that actually she was absolutely stunning. You'd think such natural beauty would be your answer to fame, wealth and fortune, she gained a starring role in a Hollywood Blockbuster and then you realise Alfred Hitchcock is pulling the strings and the torment begins. It reminds me of one of your other stories with the actress Shelley Duvall and her tormentor Stanley Kubrick. These men would be facing time behind bars today and it's taken us so long to put a stop to it but I'm sure it must still go on albeit not as prevalent. I do admire her work with her Big Cats Sanctuary but worry sometimes seeing her with her pet Lion, they do say you can never really fully domesticate a big cat but I'm sure she'll have nurtured him as a Cub and he knows Tippi is his mother. Another great video and thank you.

Even though Hitchcock was a absolute genius director he did have his flaws with certain actresses and this is one of them he could be such a gentleman but on the other side with certain people not so much??

She wasn’t a favorite for me, but her talent was undeniable.

I've always admired and respected her for her for being an animal activist.

The poor, beautiful woman.

Her grand daughter Dakota Johnson is a beauty as well.

What a beautiful women,so stylish,I always try to be like here,I fail but I try!!!!🤗🇬🇧

Her daughter Melanie and grand daughter Dakota

How to make a 3 minute video into a 14 minute video? Repeat the same things 5 times!!!

"Refugees from Sweden" why?

Hitchcock may be considered a good film director, but he was a sad loser as a human being.

Can we please stop using the word love where it doesn't belong. He DID NOT love her. He loved himself, she was just a toy he wanted to own to him.

Sounds Aussie.

Tippi had beauty and class, and a very nice personality. It was cruel what Hitchcock did to her, the lustful old coot. He's legendary for his great direction in films, and being an old letch. Very odd and disappointing, I thought he had more class.

Why dont they show whole thing. I. Hate that

Too bad our childhood heroes turn out to be monsters! I loved Hitchcock. But I guess he wasn’t such a nice guy. Same with Cosby. I grew up loving Cosby. Listening to his comedy albums and watching Fat Albert. Not knowing the whole time he was a predator.

Such a bad system that men had such an unfettered sway over all of whom they considered lesser beings

What a horrible man...

NOT LOVE. Narcissistic obsession

Obsession is not love. How could you say he loved her? You're being a misogynist.

The Birds Marnie …….horror movies? I not convinced of much of this rather slanted account of Hitchcock and Tippi.

I thought she was a beautiful woman but Hitchcock should have grown up alright bloody pest

Hitchcock was actually not a nice honorable man , he was married and made Tippi's life miserable for not giving in to his advances . Yes he was a good director , but to ruin Tippi's carrier was evil . I viewed the Birds ,but i did not like this movie , but i did like Marnie very much .

If Hitchcock wasn’t a dirty old man he wouldn’t have made had “Psycho”

Sounds like Hitch was another Harvey Weinstein.

The idea that Alfred Hitchcock sabotaged Tippi Hendren’s career is is utter BS by an ungrateful borderline-cat-lady. It’s typical of crazy women to blame everyone but themselves for their own self-destructive behavior.

HITCHCOCK-OG,WINESTIEN 2.O,NUFF SAID.
