Stories told to me by my mom from way back...
My mom past away at 86 this year but told me from as far back as I can remember about the Hitch/Tippi relationship. We use to live in California back in the 60's and I was a Birds fan as a young person. Like today we love our gore, The Birds was that back then. When The Birds or Marnie movie would come on with Tippi in it my mom would go on with her stores of how Hitch and Tippi had an affair and that's how she got her roles, I take it they were the talk of the town back then, gossip between people was the Inquire as we have today. I believe it. That's how the game was played back then and how females excelled in that field back then and now days it would be considered sexual harassment, but fact is she allowed it to happen and she knew all to well about it from being a model. Lets just say she wasn't as innocent as the movie makes her out to be and I do not think Hitch was so diabolical as depicted in the movie.I feel they fed off of each other and used each other to gain what each one wanted. He and she were neither innocent. I just hate that she can say whatever and he cant be here to speak his side. I see her as a old dried up female needing some money and recognition and now giving her side in a script to gain from it. You know she never was what you call a big star ever, even with her few movies she made that amounted to anything other then the two Hitchcock movies. Hedren was never a movie star and dd mostly TV shows later after the Hitch years.I thought her acting was atrocious and honestly why would any one like Hitchcock keep her for another movie? We aren't stupid. Her daughter has been way more successful then she has by far. I guess if being described as a pivotal figure in the modern development of Vietnamese-owned nail salons in the United States is the best she has gotten I reckon good for her...lol The apple doesn't fall far from the tree and it never does and her daughter started out in her career like her mom.
