Tippi Hedren: ‘Hitchcock Was a Dangerous Deviant’

Actress Tippi Hedren has exposed her “The Birds” and “Marnie” director Alfred Hitchcock as a “dangerous deviant” who “ruined” her career in a shocking new HBO panel discussion held to promote upcoming biopic “The Girl.”

The actress, who is portrayed by Sienna Miller in the new film, held nothing back as she recalled the time she spent with the movie mogul behind some of Hollywood’s top thrillers.

Hedren told film executives and fans, “We are dealing with a brain here that was an unusual genius, and evil, and deviant, almost to the point of dangerous, because of the effect that he could have on people that were totally unsuspecting.”

“The Girl” supports Hedren’s claims that Hitchcock attempted to steal a kiss from his leading lady on the set of “The Birds,” and then put her in harm’s way by insisting she work with live birds for several days.

The actress said, “He ruined my career but he didn’t ruin my life. If this had happened today I would be a very rich woman.”

and before Star Trek he shot an instantly failed TV series where he was Alexander the Great. The geniuses who dreamed this up were trying to cash in on the “sword & sandal” range. (Yeah think Shatner as Steve Reeves, then laugh! Of course Shatner did act in his own voice!)

I have this video in my “So Bad Its Good” video collection.

and its bad ! Also it had Adam West I think as Hepheastion (One of Alexander's Companions).

Captain Kirk & Batman bringing Hellenistic civilization to the Eastern World. It can't get any better then that!

Wonder if she supported Bill Clinton back in the days of Lewinsky et al.
