Hitchcock ruining Tippi's career
I posted this as a reply on another topic but I think it's interesting to note to all who watched 'The Girl' and for those who are interested in the story it tells.
Jessica Lange was a 'nobody' when she was picked to star in KING KONG in 1976. Just like Tippi, she was bad in her debuut movie.
However, Jessica took three years off (a lot longer than 18 months that Tippi was in her contract for) to study acting and she worked again and by 1981 she was nominated for an Oscar.
Tippi could never act and she never really tried, she even did the dreadful 'Birds 2: Lands End'. Maybe she did it just for the money?
In my opinion on watching Tippi in interviews when Hitchcock was alive and the years since his passing, she obvious that the money is running out as work is drying up and the Shambala Preserve must be expensive to run. So the money from her crappy made-up fairy-tale should keep it going for a bit longer.
In addition, if Hitchcock was some sex-monster (as he is clearly shown to be even before meeting Tippi in 'The Girl'), why have none of his other leading ladies, Doris Day, Janet Leigh, Grace Kelly etc had the same experience to elluded to it in interviews? As a matter of fact, even Julie Andrews who worked on Torn Curtain, which was an uncomfortable shoot for all involved, have nothing but nice, wonderful memories of Hitchcock.
Come to think of it, so did Tippi.... until a few years ago.
