- Tippi Hedren is speaking out about how she says legendary suspense director, Alfred Hitchcock ruined her career and once assaulted her after she refused to sleep with him. The Birds actress told Inside Edition: "It is the worst thing to be the object of someone's obsession if you are not interested. It became unbearable." Hedren was a struggling single mom with her young daughter Melanie Griffith when the Psycho filmmaker plucked her from obscurity to star in The Birds in 1963. #InsideEdition
I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY SAY SHE FINALLY SPOKE UP. SHE HAS BEEN VOCAL ABOUT IT FOR YYYEARS! NO ONE CARED.
I still don't care.
I don't care.
She only got vocal after Hitchcock's death. None of the other actresses, that worked with Hitchcock have come up. Eva Marie Saint, Ingrid Bergman, Kim Novak, Grace Kelly, Vera Miles, Janet Leigh or even Shirley MacLaine.
@@AA-sn9lz yes, that's why I admire her even more because most women won't speak up and that's a shame. I mean geez all girl wants to be able to do her job. I want to go to the office but I don't want to square and everyone in there or probably not even one!... LOL when they hol When these guys try to force themselves on you, just messing with your next meal and they know that
Gobbersmack yet you clicked on this video
Tippi is so right. It's absolutely horrible to have someone sexually attack you who you have NO interest in. She did the right thing. I've seen the movie "The Girl".
I can a be a huge fan of Hitch the director and still accept that he was maybe not a good person in real life. Got to watch out for that worshiping of people just because they were famous.
Be careful believing what people put in their autobiographies about now deceased people they had a run in with. From the biographies I've seen about Hitchcock he would obsess over blonds but actual sex with them was off the table. He clearly had a voyeuristic obsession first with Grace Kelly and then Hedren. The truth is probably much more nuanced and complicated. There's no record of sexual aggression with any of the many other women Hitckcock worked with.
I believe, Tippi Hedren. And, i don't think she's lying.
Maybe?
There is no maybe about it
@@BlueAngeluv nah, she's a lying old wrinkled has-been
This lady is a class act and didn't deserve the abuse she suffered
She is an incredible woman!
I always wondered why he picked her (even though brilliant in it) an unknown...now I know why.
A very brave woman ♀️😭💔😱
How do you know she's telling the truth tho ?
Nobody deserves that.
Poor girl, I've seen birds. I thought she was absolutely gorgeous. What a jerk.
No Hitchcock's a monster when it happened.
Yeah, she did good in that movie!
Honestly the Birds was an Anti-Female movie..............
I believe everything she said about that pudgy little person!
Ix-nay on the erk-jay.
I salute Tippi Hedren for sticking up for herself. That she worked for Hitchcock in no way obligated her to engage in sex with him!
I have read that Hitchcock sent her daughter a "gift" that was a doll made to look like Tippi -- in a little coffin.
Hitchcock also engaged in practical jokes that were actually acts of viciousness. He slipped alcohol in the beverage of a woman who said she didn't want alcohol because she was allergic to it. He also trapped an actress in a phone booth contraption that he filled with smoke.
The worst by far is that he made a "bet" with a humble property man by which he handcuffed the man to a camera and gave him a drink laced with a powerful laxative so the poor violated man spent the whole night befouling himself.
This really doesn't surprise me.Hitchcock really did seem to have a thing for blondes....Its a shame he was like that because he was so brilliant.She is still absolutely gorgeous after all this time.
then why were the blondes usually the victims in all his movies?
But you're forgetting Tippy Hedron was a 33 year old mother when she made her first film with Hitch. He gave her a big break into stardom in an era when even a 30 something woman was considered almost past her prime.
Y wasn't he charged or exposed for it
AUser0000001 I have to agree with you. I just watch the movie for the first time and loved it. Had to look her up didn't know she is Melanie mom..and that was Melanie was young Mel in the movie. Tippi look younger than het daughter mel as of today. She is a nice looking woman even at her older age. Wow.
@@meadeskelton3350 His sexual envy and sadistic revenge for their ignores and jilts of him. Victimizing them gave him as director complete control of their fates.
She is so beautiful! Back in the day and now. It’s terrible what she went through. She’s a strong woman.
Terrible what she went through ?... he made a pass at her, as every director in Hollywood has done since time immorial
Actually Tippi's crazy debacle that is the movie Roar was truly a more terrible ordeal and at her own doing. Tippi the crazy cat lady.
She really is gorgeous to this day.
And she’s still alive, she’s 92! She will be 93 this Thursday, the 19th. Which means she was about 86 in this clip! Unbelievable!
@@kelvinsmith6854 wow. You’re a 🐷
Tippi sounds like every kindhearted grandma merged into one person. It's beautiful.
I am a fan of this lady and she still quite beautiful
same
*she's
I'm mind blown, I never knew Melanie was her daughter!
You also don't know hot to spell
Michael Anderson lol! Hot
@@mja91352. you obviously should look at the person's name on TH-cam comments. To many on TH-cam, english is a second language. I only pull them up for spelling if they have english sounding names.
"Knew."
That's absolutely defiling & terrible. No woman should have to go through that. She is such a strong lady ❤️I'm glad she's come off a severely traumatising experience stronger & greater than ever!
Told Larry King in an interview some time before this if he had ever laid a hand on her, she said: "oh, nothing like that..." You can chalk this up to the man being dead, and her needing to juice up her book.
What Alfred did was, after doing a couple movies together, he had probably fallen for her. And he waited until the end of the second movie to make a pass. She rebuffed, and he was perhaps upset. We can not know exactly what happened, but she had always been open about it, but with a different slant when writing the book.
So says Tippi the crazy cat lady. She did that cat movie Roar in which she allowed her daughter to be put in harms way and then has the nerve to vilify Hitchcock. OK.
@@Garsons-oq4lh LOL...you mean ROAR the most dangerous movie ever made? as far as her dealings with Hitchcock I have heard stories from other actresses that he had a thing for blonds and may have harrassed them on set, But i like to call this the MOMMIE DEAREST effect, you write the book and do interviews way after the man is long dead and he is not here to defend himself.
Just finished watching The Birds. Perverts all over Hollywood. Shame Shame
No brother ,they were everywhere
Dear tippi.
Thank you this was this reason i gave up my chance to act. I didnt want to be subjected to this kind of terror. I went as far as i could. Untill i was 18. I started to see the dark side..i had no regrets..thx for speaking up for all actresses..bless you
Dakota is a total brat. The way she talked to her mom at an Oscar red carport with with total disrespect.
That blood was real? ...really?
No, it's obvious from the color that it's the fake blood. The idiot shouldn't have said that. It is true, though, that Hitch did use real birds on her for that scene and that it was traumatic for her. It was his way of getting revenge for her rejecting him.
Bob Smith no it was real blood
@@adrianothegoat doesn't look like any blood I ever saw...
@@adrianothegoat It looks real, like blood fresh from a human wound.
JudgeJulieLit oh
The biggest story here is that this lady was NINETY here or very close to it! And looks incredible!!
Definitely not the point of the story.
Hmmm.... but she made another movie with him afterward. "The industry is so terrible I'm Out!"
Proceeds to let her daughter and granddaughter be actresses. Weird.
She was under contract.
@@TroyConvers5000 they would have to sue me.
@@RealEyes.Realize.RealLies But then Hitchcock would have had her blacklisted from Hollywood. Power imbalance.
@@TroyConvers5000 all of Hollywood is perverted. Why would she even want to work in that industry after that? Oh well, to each his own...
What an inappropriate way to end an interview about sexual harassment and assault but it’s not like I should expect tact from inside edition.
One thing I don´t understand... Tippi always said Hitchcock only made his advances near the end of Marnie... so, how come the voiceover from Inside Edition says Hitchcock relatialed with live birds in The Birds? The Birds was made before Marnie
No Marnie came out a year after The Birds
@@assiaelmabrouki5552 and that´s what I said
Inside Edition doesn't exactly hold itself to the highest of journalistic standards. It's all about the hype!
Go Tippi!! She knew her worth & stood up to a grotesque Hollywood Legend 🐦 Tippi is a great Lady & Role Model 🌹 Thank you ❤
There is a pecking order in Hollywood. It ruffled a few feathers no doubt.
Andrew Williams lol
Well it's nothing to crow about.
I love you
She could not just tell him to buzz off ... .
Ugh.
The birds is my favorite Hitchcock film, I can’t look at him the same :/
"Did Alfred Hitchcock try to have sex with you?"
"Well, um errr, uuhhh." 🙄
Regardless of whether anything happened like she says or not, that is NOT "real blood" on her face in the scene with the birds... come on....! And the "assault" happened later during "Marnie." Not "The Birds." Their association was reasonable during "The Birds" but escalated poorly during "Marnie." Inside Edition is interested in one thing only: sensationalizing everything they can.
Finally, someone sane!!
That was Hitchcock's prime interest.
When I looked at it thought the same thing the blood doesn't look like real blood it's far too bright. And her face didn't look terrified or shocked in that scene. I believe Inside edition is trying to sensationalise it.
@@jessethepersiankitty2377that’s exactly what’s going on
Thank you!! This whole “believe all women” nonsense is going too far. This, is a case in point
If it was so bad during The Birds, why would she work with him the following year in Marnie?
I think it's because apparently he tricked her into a seven year contract without her full consent as it would impact her work
Just remember Alfred is not here to defend himself. We all thought Johnny Depp was guilty.. im not saying she is lying she may be telling the truth but we dont know for sure so dont go calling him an abuser with no proof
Hitch assaulted her? Say it ain't so!
Didn’t her daughter go out with the guy from Miami vice when she was 14 and he was 22?
Just saying...
and this is another one of those times where you should separate the art from the artist...
Is it though? The movie isn’t that great for the opportunity cost to be worth it for me I’m afraid.
Didn't she attend his AFI award ceremony??
yeah
A professional obligation for an actor, which itself promotes their films and continues revenues, royalties and fame for all who participated in creating his films.
She's selling a book. So she has to exaggerate on every little detail. Don't fall for it.
That look on her face at 0:09 looks exactly like Melanie.
She stood up for herself and got her own back through her daughter and granddaughter. It only shows it can be done and you can say no... you do what you have to do! More important things than a career, anyway. True to his word, AH did destroy her prospects but only proved her to be right. He was truly a psycho and she recognised and called him out by telling him that in his face to do what he needs to do. That's how you do it and talk to someone who is insane. He was obsessed and wouldn't stop at nothing to either control or destroy her. Fortunately, she managed to save herself and her dignity and self respect. Not only brave but wise and dignified. She didn't yes to the Weinstein of Hollywood at the time! Well done... RIP
Agreed.
Rip? She's still alive.
I have always loved Tippi. Absolutely gorgeous woman and highly talented actress.
"Talented"? Thanks to Hitchcock, you even think so!
@@mja91352 I always thought she wasn’t a good actress, she couldn’t do anything besides those two famous Hitchcock movies.
Poor tippi I can't believe those were real Birds on that sence! 😢
Imagine having a last name like Hitchcock.
I loved Tippi in The Birds and Marnie. Both excellent films.
That was most definitely fake blood.
Tippi is still beautiful...she may have had a little face work but it looks good. Her daughter Melanie though..not so great. Wish these lovely ladies would for the most part age gracefully. I'd even have a little touch up if I could afford but I'd be darned careful! Both talented actors.
Yes I would rather look like the way Tippi Hedren does rather than what Melanie Griffith has done ... poor Melanie I hope she can find a good cosmetic surgeon who can reverse some of this and bring her face back into balance ... I do believe it can be done if she goes to the right one
She's the only one who claims this. N9ne of the other actresses he worked with have a bad word to say about the great man
I wasn't there so don't know but, yes, that hilarity they added about the birds supposedly bloodying her face up like that makes this smell like bull 💩.
Because they like to keep making movies. "You got to go along, to get along" He wasn't used to being rejected. The NERVE. Although he was clearly never a good looking man.
@lisasisk3713 ingrid Bergmann went so far as to call hitch 'an adorable genius". Was she just going along to get along?
@@Lennonlover06 Yes Ingrid famously tried to sleep with Hitchcock but he couldn't get it up so eventually *she* gave up. Ingrid Bergman wanted what Tippi Hedren did not want and therefore had no problem with Hitchcock.
@@90sHONEY where do you get this from?
50 shades of WRONG!!!!
50 shades of SIN!!!!
❤️🙏 Tippi
Never knew those were real birds! Yikes! Like one of my worst fears! Being attacked and pecked to death
She's a jerk. Alfred Hitchcock was the greatest director!!
Mr. Hitchcock is no longer alive to defend himself. How long does it take a person to forgive??
SHE'S a jerk???? Wtf she's been talking about this for years. Don't let someone's talent blind you from their flaws.
What people will say for a dollar 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
She's so sweet. And sadly correct. It is a scary thing to he the object of a man's eye who have personalities like his. If only he could see her family's amazing success now. He didn't ruin her or her career. She didn't let him.
A bit ironic. Considering she’s a walking sex symbol on screen.
who is her husband and how has she lived as far as income...with only 2 movies ever made?
Seen that the worse Big bird attacker on this movie was Alfred Hitchcock🤤
😍
Terrible, but doesn't change my respect for Hitchcock as a director.
Poor woman ♀️ had to suffer abuse💔😭
This is so sad. I won't be able to watch the movie "Marnie" and the "The Birds" the same way after hearing about this. Good on her for speaking out about this! I hope she healed from this.
Why? She does a great job in them and is proud of her work
She just has big cats to feed.
That's fake, theirs no way she got attack by real birds, those were fake birds
Some of them were, some not,. She did get her eyelid slashed by a crow while filming this and then collapsed through exhaustion.
As if all TV shows and movies aren't fake. It's called role playing. People forget that.
@@boleyn123 She could have gotten conjunctivitis and/or blinded.
@@williamcooper8806 Tell that to the occasional actors, stunt doubles and crew hurt or killed taking risks to make a film.
she let her daughter work with him years later though
🤣🤣🤣
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL AND CLASSY WOMAN. . GOD BLESS HER AND BRIGITTE BARDOT FOR GIVING UP THEIR CAREERS AND PERVERTED MEN TO DEVOTE THEIR LIVES TO ANIMALS !!@
Agreed.
What a strong, interesting and intelligent woman. I wouldn't want anything to do with Hitchcock either!
There’s actually a good movie out there called The Girl starring Toby Jones as Hitch
You were so beautiful, Tippi, and your beauty still shines through!
Rubbish. That was not Hedren's Blood
quick question then ... why did she agree to play in Marnie? Hitchcock was also director of Marnie
Exactly
Probably contract obligations.
This is a little over the top, a little too dramatic, real birds, real blood.
She sounds a little bit psycho ...
The Birds one million better than Filthy Shades of Whatever...!!!So Tipi said NO...!!!
No, they used fake blood for the birds, but she also got scratched. They told her they were going to use fake birds, but she realized they never were. There wasn't a "substitution." Listen to Tippi and ignore the announcer. He was handsy but didn't have actual sex with his stars, he was celibate from his late 20s, which is probably why he was sex-obsessed.
This tabloid TV show was mostly untrue slander... Hitchcock had a respected reputation for sixty years.
Melanie Griffith looks like The Joker... what the hell happened to her? They don't have any good plastic surgeons in Hollywood?
She got older. That happens in nature. Children grow up then get old. Mind blowing, I know.
@@roach7017 , plastic surgeries messed up her face, "getting older" or not! Period. Her mom, Tippi, "got older" before her and still has a more "natural" look and beauty.
@@vava8545 you know it's a hard "." when you spell it out. FACT!
Omg I had no idea so sad 😞
Oh man how horrible
These chicks have not had good experiences with animals. Hopefully Dakota does better.
All respect ❤
I’m so sorry that happened to her. He needs to be in jail. She should be compensated for this. Smh 🤦♀️ wow
Alfred died like, 40 years ago.
Hitchcock plocked Tippi Hedren out of nowhere. She wouldn't of made it if it wasn't for Hitchcock. Shes not even that good of an actress.
Doesn't give him ownership for her body.
Well his last name was Hitchcock.
She was up right ; she was strong; she was sure of herself. As she demonstrated against other (living) lions 💫
I can't believe he did that to her
@@nicholas4727 No, logical; as postmortem he had no more film magnate power to quash her acting career.
She's still beautiful ❤️ And I had no idea Melanie was her daughter and that Dakota was her granddaughter! In the end .... she won 😌 He told her he'd ruin her career, yet Her legacy lives on! Love it!
The irony is Hitch's films had very little sex in them, however Tippi's granddaughter was in literally the worst sex film ever...yes worse than Showgirls! .
Didn’t her daughter marry Don Johnson when she was 14 and he was in his early 20s? Just saying
It's difficult to believe such allegations when they come to light at the same time as a spicy memoir.
martini1179 Tippi has made these same allegations for decades.
everybody in the comments taking for granted what she says without any proof about a person who cannot defend himself
Lies, lies, lies!!! Asked in an interview with Larry King, just before this time, if he had ever laid a hand on her: "oh, no, nothing like that!" So, which the hell is it? Or did you just need to sell some books? Bloody hell...
Harvey Weinstein was not the first & will not be the last , it’s appalling
Tippi im so sorry for what happened back there it must have been terrible for you.
sorry, i don't buy it.
Nice story, but if the birds actually attacked you and it was all real blood. Why would you then agree to be in Marnie a movie that came out after the Birds. Nice try to spice up your book though.
1: She was scheduled/contracted to appear in Marnie and it's still a job at the end of the day. 2: Directors and producers were able to get away with just about anything, look into the behind the scenes of the wizard of Oz and all the horror stories that came out that movie alone. Actors were pretty much just play things to most directors FYI that era who had way more power and control which is why you also have stories of guys like Kubrick physically and mentally tormenting they're own cast. All that wouldn't change till John Landis took it too far in the twilight zone movie.
@@plshelpmeawkdough Don´t forget there is not one single producer in Hollywood who made his cast and crew suffer as much as that Lady Tippi Hedren did as a producer of ROAR ! Hedren says Hitchcock was a monster because he threw birds at her...well Hedren produced ROAR! and there were around 70 horrible attacks on cast and crew, her daughter was bitten in the face by a lion, her husband almost killed, the DP hurt horribly by one of the lions. She herself had been bitten by a lion in the head and brutally attacked by an elephant. And she went on and on exposing her family and crew to her big cats. But Mr. Hitchcock is a monster because one of the Birds scratched her cheek??? Hedren has to be judged according to her own standards. And as a producer of ROAR ! she was responsible for much more horrible animal attacks than the ones in The Birds.
@@michaelhuck one whataboutism about another person's horrid deeds doesn't take away from another's horrible mistreatment of others lmfaooo
It is hard to believe her story when Mr. Hitchcock is not around to tell us the whole story. She might be right about him but could also be she is trying to resurrect herself from the coffins of her publicity. No one knows for sure.
Rear Window for real.
"Me Too" the movie upcoming.
He actualy always looked prety sick to me...!!
What does ' sick ' look like
@@twomindz79 a lot like a woman who would accuse a man of something that hundreds of more beautiful women who worked for him never did. I smell a liar.
@@williamcooper8806 In truth, not "hundreds" (list them); nor "more beautiful."
@@JudgeJulieLit for sure Tippi Hedren is pretty much Top on the list.
I think those Vera Miles & Grace Kelly slept with him.. Grace Kelly didn't have a problem sleeping with anyone!!! She was known for that And I don't hold it against her , I'm just saying. Just like Jennifer Lawrence slept with Harvey Weinstein to get her roles, Grace Kelly did the same thing...... That's fine. The problem is they always want the one that won't put out.
So Dakota's granma refuse to be sexually assaulted by Hollywood and Dakota kick starts her career with a sexually perverse movie as a sex symbol. Such wicked satire.
Dakota is their good karma. She is a brilliant actress.
Remember everyone, believe all women, every time.
From the movie they made about him, I always thought he was impotent.
I'm convinced that Hitchcock was latently bisexual. It is secretly slipped in many of his movies.
cats rule!
More beautiful than her daughters!
Probably. They all have to. All the "stars". Men and Women. Period. Or maybe, he wasn't obsessed with Ingrid Bergman. Were You There??? NO!
Not sure what to believe.Hitch was probably a bit of a perv but she was over 30 and no blushing wall flower.I think she could have easily handled the situation with a sense of humor.He was twice her age and so corpulent that any sexual exertion would have killed him.She could have easily dismantled his ridiculous advances with reparti and quick wit.We dont know we werent there but I strongly doubt he was physically abusive.Mentally abusive? Yes I can see him punishing her out of spite.
I’m not saying I don’t believe her but I’m not saying I do.
Medium Mike well make up your mind....hollywood is so full of perverts
Of course, she starred in the Hitchcock's movie "Marnie" which came out in 1964......after the "Birds" was made. So, obviously, he didn't destroy her career after the "Birds". So, what gives? Hitchcock isn't here to defend himself.
