She has always been a classy lady. Hard to believe she is the mother of Melanie Griffith.
In all seriousness, this is an amazing story, and really could be made into a movie itself ....the plight of the Vietnamese, the backdrop of war, the influence of an American movie star, a few family drama stories intertwined, the American dream....and so on.
A great screenwriter could make this into a very good movie. Tippi could earn some money to help with her animal sanctuary, history can be taught, and it would be a dramatic and entertaining movie with the right script.
In my opinion, Tippi Hedren has been and will always be a very classy lady. This story makes me respect her even more.
