“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.”

If she is suggesting that she would sue because the Director tried to "steal a kiss." it is more likely that she would be laughed out of Court than made a "rich woman." Her case would not be helped by the fact that he sought realism by using live birds.

I am sorry to see this nonsense. I thought that she was once a very competent actress.

No, but PETA might have sued on behalf of the birds, as Hitchcock had their wings sewed to Tippi's skirt.

Like many women of that age, she could be using the term “steal a kiss” instead of going into detail and getting graphic about what the activity actually was.

Actually her case would be helped a lot by the fact that he used live birds, live birds scratch people, poop, and get injured or killed. The danger to both her and the birds would get him crushed in today’s Hollywood.
