Nathalie Kay 'Tippi' Hedren (born January 19, 1930) is an American actress with a career spanning six decades. She is primarily known for her roles two Alfred Hitchcock films, The Birds and Marnie, and her extensive efforts in animal rescue at Shambala Preserve, an 80-acre wildlife habitat which she founded in 1983. Hedren is the mother of actress Melanie Griffith, and they share credits on six films, notably Pacific Heights (1990).
Tippie Hedren
Hedren had a successful modeling career in the 1950s and 1960s. She was discovered by Hitchcock, who was watching The Today Show when he saw Hedren in a diet drink commercial. Hitchcock was looking for an actress who possessed something of the sophistication, self-assurance and cool-blonde sex appeal of Grace Kelly, with whom he had made three films. Hedren, expensively groomed and mentored by Hitchcock, appeared in his films The Birds and Marnie, although it would always be both unfair and unrealistic for an actress to replace Grace Kelly in the minds of both Hitchcock and the public. At the time of the films' releases, she was criticized for being too passive in The Birds and too expressive in Marnie.
The Birds brought her a Golden Globe as Most Promising Newcomer. Premiere magazine chose Hedren's character, Melanie Daniels in The Birds as one of "The 100 Greatest Characters of All Time".
Marnie (1964), a psychological thriller from the novel by Winston Graham, was Hedren's second Hitchcock assignment, co-starring with Sean Connery. She recalls Marnie as the favorite of her two films for Hitchcock because of the central character, an emotionally battered young woman who travels from city to city assuming various guises in order to rob her employers.[9] On release, the film was greeted by mixed reviews and indifferent box-office; over the years, however, it has significantly grown in stature among Hitchcock fans.
Although Hitchcock continued to have Hedren in mind for several other films after Marnie, the actress declined any further work with him. Other directors who wanted to hire her had to go through Hitchcock, who would inform them she was unavailable. "It grew to be impossible. He was a very controlling type of person, and I guess I'm not about to be controlled", said Hedren, who bought out her contract. Ending their professional relationship on a sour note, she recalled, "He said, 'Well, I'll ruin your career.' And he did." Hedren then recorded a couple of songs, "If You were a Carpenter" and "My life without you," which were released in 1966, and guest-starred in a couple of television shows.
Charles Chaplin cast her as the sophisticated, brittle, cheated-upon wife of Marlon Brando in his shipboard comedy A Countess from Hong Kong (1967). She made more than 40 films between 1967 and 2006, including Pacific Heights, Citizen Ruth and I Heart Huckabees. More recently, she has appeared in episodes of The 4400 and Fashion House and the forthcoming thriller Rodeo Girl (2007).
