@@JayJay-nc7pr I was wondering when I was going to see someone bring up Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Veronica could have totally been leading lady if that movie had had a sequel. :)
She seems so charming, so unlike most child stars, just like, "oh I did that, it was fun, don't make too much of it, I still cook steaks they way he told me."
The Birds was my mom's favorite movie. I finally watched it again after not really being impressed with it when I was younger, and I have to say my mom was not wrong. Great movie!
WONDERFUL as Jack's oblivious mother on Will & Grace, we know where he got it from - the oblivion & the butt squeezing. Your children will be retiring on that Hitch sketch, do Sotheby's know?
Hitchcock's birthday gift to Veronica was warm and wonderful!!!Veronica is a marvelous and unpretentious actress, and sister of Angela, who was in Make Room For Daddy and Lost in Space.
I remember my family and relatives gathered in the living room to watch Alfred Hitchcock movies on TV. So when The Birds movie was shown in our school assemblies during lunchtime or school periods I would see this classic movie til now in 2024. This was a treat to watch! Thank you 🙏❤
never mind the shower scene from Psycho - Veronica's death in Alien was truly horrifying, even though you didn't see it you saw it coming and then you heard it - trauma.
Yeah, well I met both Ms. Hedren and Ms. Cartwright in Chicago a few years ago, and while I was, of course, in awe of Tips, I had no idea Veronica had grown up to be such a cool, funny and down to earth lady-- just like she is in this video. She was very nice to me, with no interest in doing anything but meeting and greeting and talking with the fans she seemed almost surprised to learn she had. Ms.Cartwright made a lifelong fan of me. You're a Hole, roadtweeker-- of monumental proportions.
I love “behind the scenes” info. I’ll think about what’s been said here by the actors while watching this movie now. Some things I’ve heard before. The drums and Buddy becoming friends with Ms. Hedren. I remember so well going to this movie as a child with my older sister and her best friend. What we did often on Sunday afternoons .
That's right!! Her body of work is incredible, yet few people even recognize her contributions to television, and film. From the Twilight Zone to The Sound of Music, there she is!!!
Veronica Cartwright must be an amazing person to interview. She was a child actress to some of the most amazing movies and I think her sister was as well. I would love to someday interview them and get their thoughts and opinions and info on some of these classics now that the main leads have died.
There is a TH-cam video of an interview that features Angela and Veronica, and as other people here noted, both are marvelous and very down to earth. As someone with 4 sisters, I was pleasantly surprised to see how well they get along (I hope that wasn't an act) and they have apparently gotten along all their lives. It was kind of interesting how Veronica related that there was no chance for a real sibling rivalry even when they often auditioned for the same role. Both accepted that her sister didn't get "the" role because she was so much better, it was usually as simple as being the older or younger sister. And I agree, Veronica is a very under rated actress, and it truly is amazing the roles she has played. I would love to read a joint sister memoir.
Cartwright has always been a fine actress and a welcome sight on the screen. She gave child actors a good name again. She wasn't cute. She was just good.
Unclealand... Wow what a shit comment. There isn't anything wrong her looks! She looked like a typical 60s kid. Your kind of a creepy jackass! Who says that?
@@Catherine-2 I didn't take it that way. I think the OP was saying that Veronica had none of that cutesy wootsey wootsey quality that makes so many child actors obnoxious. There is nothing wrong with Veronica's looks. I think she is pretty. And has a totally cool sounding voice.
Fascinating to see and hear all about the making of The Birds, Veronica Cartwright tells a brilliant account and Ms Hedren still looks as stunning as an older lady.
I met Tippi Hedren and Veronica Cartwright last year at a benefit performance of "The Birds" a parody/homage play staged in Chicago. Tippi was the guest of honor and actually played a small role in the play. She signed my program "With fear,Tippi"! Still very beautiful and a gracious lady!
Thank you for sharing this insightful, warm, insightful, actress, Veronika Cartwright with us. Every movie, I have seen her acting in...she is excellent. Inspiring.
One of the great cinematic anecdotes of all time at 7:24. 'Opening a door that isn't there'. A lesson from Hitchcock in pure cinema. And by the way I LOVED Veronica in the terrifying remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Love love love Veronica! She can convey true hysteria on film better than any actor, past or present. Also she's equally skilled doing comedy (i.e. Witches of Eastwick, Will & Grace).
Veronica Cartwright was all over TV in the 50s & 60s--Leave it to Beaver, Twilight Zone, etc. It's a shame Rod Taylor recently passed on. Oh, well at least a long life. Fascinating vid here, lots of background info. thanks.
Veronica is a very good actress as is Angela.In The Birds watch her closely in the car scene after they rescue her when Suzanne Pleschette is killed. When she tells them what happened her crying and description is so moving especially when she says " Annie she pushed me inside" brings tears to viewers
Hitchcock loved blond women very femme fatale.... Like Kim Novak, Tippi Hedren, Grace Kelly, Eva Marie Saint and many else.... They were iconic blond women in Hitchcock fantasies...
My dad use to take my sister and I to Bodega Bay during the summer when I lived the area during the 70's and 80's. I moved to go to college and that's when I saw the movie the Birds. I just remember that place, The Tides, smelling of fish and always really cold.
Veronica is a very good actress, i love the presence shes cause at scenes. i watched Alien right now and i fallen in love with her, i wanna see all the movies shes makes
I thoughts that was a great touch..she was in the middle of the action all the way through the movie..I think no one would bother to change their clothes if it was real..lol
I saw this movie as a kid in the theater when it came out with my little friends. No accompanying adults. Along with "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" Big mistake. Those two movies really shook me up.
🎬 Such a classic film. I always cranked up the volume a little bit when the birds attacked. 🤔 You noticed there's no musical soundtrack,right? "The Birds" were the soundtrack.
the birds is still one of the most horrifying films ever made, when i was a little kid seeing that man with his eyes pecked out and the dead woman on the steps of her house pecked to death scared me for years , all those birds that attacked in that dark upstairs bedroom , ooooh the terror
Look luv, `Rod Taylor was actually carrying a double down the stairs because Tippi was in hospital suffering from exhaustion`..I`d like to know what really happened...if Hedren was used by the director as a guinea pig and expired during the unexpected `real` bird attack? There is a photo of her (appears dead) lying on a bed at Universal Studios after having shot the fatal scene. The upshot is probably that she was taken to hospital to recuperate. If she had for any reason not pulled through what do you think they would have said? She was a suicide...having a hard time with the role..problems with her marriage and money..etc. Hitchcock took unacknowledged chances with actresses. I doubt Hedren has even been told what actually happened.
I've been fascinated by this movie from the first time I watched it. I had to wait at least 14 yrs before I got my driver's license to actually search around for filming locations I couldn't find any that I could recognize. Hollywood tricks of the trade secrets threw me off a bit the first time I went looking
Love this movie and think all the actors did a great job. Can never get over the weird layout of that house though. The stairs went backwards toward the front door (didn’t match the exterior), the mother’s bedroom was on the first floor next to the front door, what was that wooden door thing next to the piano. And the outside chimney didn’t match where the fireplace would be. Yet it had a cozy comfortable interior, probably the Brenners were the richest people in town. And they had a dishwasher in 1963 in the middle of nowhere.
I really do like Veronica Cartwright. She has had a good career. It still going strong. She has worked with Ridley Scott and Alfred Hitchcock. Why was he mean to Tippie for.
She probably was some day but she found fame later in life so she always played a grandma or the mother, and that’s how she’s mostly remembered by the general public.
alexcnb Jessica Tandy might have found movie fame later in life but she was an acclaimed Broadway actress. She was the original Blanche du Bois in Streetcar Named Desire on Broadway alongside Marlon Brando in 1947.
Great actress who should have been a LOT bigger, with a unique quirkiness and dramatic range that was undeniable. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) and Alien, cemented it for me. Her sister, Angela, was a cast member on Lost in Space(60's version).

I love actors and actresses like Veronica Cartwright they are true pillars of the acting world.
Excellent point. Completely agree. She's very underrated. Her performance in Inserts (dir. John Byrum) is cruelly overlooked.
@@Sati1979 Doesn't that mean she's done her job? Pas de jambon.
So true. Being a character actor can often be a disappointing job in this regard.
She’s brilliant in the body snatchers too, the unexpected final girl, yet in Alien she’s a complete victim, a brilliant actress
@@JayJay-nc7pr I was wondering when I was going to see someone bring up Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Veronica could have totally been leading lady if that movie had had a sequel. :)
Over half a century later, still one of the most terrifying films ever made.
Never forget watching it with my Dad when I was about 10. Awesome!
She seems so charming, so unlike most child stars, just like, "oh I did that, it was fun, don't make too much of it, I still cook steaks they way he told me."
And she played in "The children's hour" together with Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine!
Veronica is such a nice lady! I'll never forget her role in The Witches of Eastwick, great!!!!
The Birds was my mom's favorite movie. I finally watched it again after not really being impressed with it when I was younger, and I have to say my mom was not wrong. Great movie!
Loved her in The Witches Of Eastwick.
Me too. She's a terrific actress.
Yeah the cherry scene in witches if Eastwick and when she falls down the stairs 😎
@@karllieck9064 She is. She was also great in the remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
@@jennymacallan9071 She great in all.
She stole the movie from the 3 leads because that's whom I best remember.
most underrated actress ever - she has a VERY strong screen presence. nice post mate!!!
She’s been continually working since a kid! Not really underrated!!
WONDERFUL as Jack's oblivious mother on Will & Grace, we know where he got it from - the oblivion & the butt squeezing. Your children will be retiring on that Hitch sketch, do Sotheby's know?
Totally agree with you
@@wired4books51 yeah but hardly anyone knows her: I think that's what they meant.
She's great in _The Witches of Eastwick._
Hitchcock's birthday gift to Veronica was warm and wonderful!!!Veronica is a marvelous and unpretentious actress, and sister of Angela, who was in Make Room For Daddy and Lost in Space.
Wasn't Angela also in The Sound of Music and Beyond the Poseidon Adventure?
Loved her in Witches of Eastwick. That cherry scene is classic!

I love the way she just totally comes undone in both Alien and Invasion of the Bodysnatchers.
never mind the shower scene from Psycho - Veronica's
death in Alien was truly horrifying, even though you didn't see it you saw it coming and then you heard it - trauma.
Thats the woman from witches of Eastwick! I never knew that she was that little girl!
Wow. This woman is amazing. I saw her in aliens decades ago and she was brilliant . Never forgot her
If Veronica's in a movie, there's a damn good chance it's gonna be great...
She is Angela Cartwright's sister! (Lost in Space)

Veronica is actually in my 20 fav horror films of all time: Alien, The Birds, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978).
That's right!! Her body of work is incredible, yet few people even recognize her contributions to television, and film. From the Twilight Zone to The Sound of Music, there she is!!!

war of the worlds
PJ Angels ‘Nightmares’ (1983)
She was great in 'The Witches of Eastwick" too.
Such a genuinely lovely person...in every way.

The moral of the story: Leave no tern unstoned!
That's a matter of a pinion!
RIP Diana Rigg! She wrote a book with that title ...a compilation of...? all her bad reviews ( " No Turn Unstoned)

Wild turkey.
Nice squab, shame about the face, you're such a pigeon.

@@Bailey2006a That's DAME Diana to you!
Now I have to watch "The Birds" in hindsight.
Her account of the threadmill thing is too funny.
That door trick was very cool!
I've seen the film dozens of times and I never realized.
I saw the Birds at an older theater. It was amazing to see the film on the big screen.
Tippi Hedron, so beautiful.

Brilliant in IOTBS(78). The final scene stays with you long after the credits have rolled.

She's great in Eastwick!
Eastwick...comedy?!
Veronica Cartwright is one of my favorite actresses. She never makes a false move.
Was hoping to hear Rod tell about the crow named Archie who hated him.

Don't forget The X Files series
She was Jemima in the Daniel Boone series and she was one of the kids in the movie Spencer's Mountain.
Which TZ episode, please?
Born in Bristol England and was The Original Ripley in Alien before being Re-Cast.
wonderful actress!! got great vibes from her recalling the filming of The Birds. thanx for posting!
Veronica did a great job playing Cathy in The Birds. I also loved her role in Alien!
Annie!! She pushed me inside!!!

Great video! Thank you.
No-one plays hysteria better than Veronica Cartwright. I've been a fan of hers for decades.
i used to work with ms hedren at her animal sanctuary..

Saw this in 67 at theater (5) never forgot all these years.

Veronica Cartwright in 2 of the most iconic suspense/horror movies , The Birds and Alien

I think VC is one of the best actresses that ever lived. I would love to work with her at least once
Always thought Veronica was a beautiful child actress.
so did Gary Glitter.
Brooke Hanley she was awesome in Witches of Eastwick.
Okay, but as a young boy my heart was taken by her sister!
She isn't shabby now.
The Birds, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Alien. Pretty good horror flicks she's been in.
Veronica is seriously hot
I never knew this was Veronica Cartwright ... from Alien.
Suzanne Pleschett was a babe.
Hitchcock definitely grooming Cartwright.
No he wasn't.
Veronica has always been a favorite,, she made a movie called "SPARKLER",,, as a character named Dottie Delgato,,, just fantastic!!!💗💖🇫🇷💋
I haven't seen that movie,but have always admired her and her career which she should be proud of.
She was such a smart, pretty, mature girl in “The Birds.”
She was amazing in Invasion of the body snatchers.....
Odd that Veronica is the lighter hair and eyes to the jet black hair and eyes sister Angela but Veronica got the dark dramatic roles...
Omg.. she still has her little girl looks
I would say sexy mature-woman looks.
my childhood scary movie. I watch it now sometimes.
I remember Veronica was on Leave It To Beaver also....
She played Violet Rutherford
I never knew that was her in the Birds. I loved Hitchcock.
What idiots gave this a thumbs down!?
Veronica Cartwright is a bloody Awesome actor!
I loved Veronica on Will And Grace as Jack’s mother Judith!!!
Yes, she played that role perfectly, too!
One of my favorite movies.
I still love this movie
I have always been curious why she was taken off the Daniel Boone show, She is one of my Favorite Actresses.
Love this

I really do like Veronica Cartwright. She has had a good career. It still going strong. She has worked with Ridley Scott and Alfred Hitchcock. Why was he mean to Tippie for.
Rewatching "The Birds" recently, I had to ask that time honored and often pondered question: WAS JESSICA TANDY EVER YOUNG?
She probably was some day but she found fame later in life so she always played a grandma or the mother, and that’s how she’s mostly remembered by the general public.
alexcnb Jessica Tandy might have found movie fame later in life but she was an acclaimed Broadway actress. She was the original Blanche du Bois in Streetcar Named Desire on Broadway alongside Marlon Brando in 1947.

Yea, Rod Taylor is one fine stud.
Tippi sure tells things differently now than she did in this interview. ;) I find this version much more believable :)
I think Tippi’s story is true. Her account is similar to accounts from other actresses.
