BIOGRAPHY:

Hedren owes her acting career to Alfred Hitchcock (I) who discovered the blonde model doing a commercial on the "Today" (1952) show. He cast her in The Birds (1963) and then Marnie (1964). She followed the Grace Kelly (I) mold for playing frigid females with a vulnerable core.


TRIVIA:

• Attended 'Suzanne Pleshette' (qv)'s funeral in 2008. They starred together in _The Birds (1963)_ (qv).
• Ex-stepmother of 'Tracy Griffith (I)' (qv).
• Friend of 'Linda Blair' (qv), 'Rod Taylor (I)' (qv) and 'Diane McBain' (qv).
• Is left-handed.
• Is a vegetarian.
• She named one of her housecats after 'Sean Connery' (qv), her co-star in _Marnie (1964)_ (qv).
• 'Alfred Hitchcock (I)' (qv) saw her in a 1962 commercial aired during the _"Today" (1952)_ (qv) show and cast her in _The Birds (1963)_ (qv). In the commercial for a diet drink, she is seen walking down a street and a man whistles at her slim, attractive figure, and she turns her head with an acknowledging smile. In the opening scene of _The Birds (1963)_ (qv), the same thing happens as she walks toward the bird shop. This was an inside joke by Hitchcock.
• Her store owner father, Bernard, was Swedish and her school teacher mother, Dorathea, was German-Norwegian.
