Biography

The meeting with Hitchcock

One morning of October 1961, Alfred Hitchcock and Alma Reville, his wife, look at a named emission Today Show : one sees there a tempting blonde who crosses the screen. This emission for a drink of mode, interests Hitchcock only for one thing, the blonde. At once, it gives the order to find it and the afternoon even Friday October 13rd, Nathalie “Tippi” Hedren goes to the studios Universal to meet the agents of Hitchcock, without the name of this one not being marked. At the time of their first interview, he speaks to him about very safe about cinema. “Tippi” thinks that it will appear only in its weekly televised series “ Alfred Hitchcock Presents ”. But it will quickly become obvious that the projects of the Master for it are not also modest.

Hitchcock offers to “Tippi” three days of tests. Whereas it forever played the comedy, it makes him take again the main roles of Rebecca , the Hand with the collet , Connected the . Martin Balsam, the detective of Psychosis , gives him the counterpart in several scenes of improvisation. Hitchcock is delighted. He thinks of having found his news Grace Kelly, and convinces the persons in charge of the Universal studios to give to this perfect unknown factor the main role of the film the Birds . The work of continuous appropriation. Hitchcock makes draw by Edith Head, the guard wraps private and professional its creature. It imposes that the first name of Tippi is framed apostrophes on both sides of that it is associated for him. While covering it with gifts, it advises it on its way of getting dressed, of being capped, of eating and even makes it supervise apart from the plate. The Pygmalion model its star, with the approval of its own wife Alma Reville. And even if it is shown curiously obsessional, it is controlled, for the moment.

“Tippi” Hedren takes part at all the stages of production of the film the Birds . Hitchcock thus spends the most possible time with its high-speed motorboat. Turning takes place in 1962, between the Universal studios and the small village of Bodega Bay. The engineering problems culminate at the time of the famous scene of the attic where it is necessary to be solved to use truths birds. Five days during, the technicians throw gulls and corbels on the young woman until one of them wounds accidentally. “Tippi” had the open eyelid and had to be transported urgently at the hospital. One week of rest is necessary so that it goes back from there. But the spectacle continues. The promotion of film brings the two tourtereaux ones until the Cannes festival where the Birds is presented except competition. In the tread, “Tippi” takes down the Golden Globe better female revelation . It supports all the remainder. Even the headstock with the effigy of its character sent by the Master to his daughter Melanie Griffith in a small box of pine. She still believes in the career that its mentor makes him gleam.

Degradation of the relation

Following turning, No spring for Marnie , will be one of most difficult of all the career of “Tippi” and undoubtedly more traumatisant. Not only the film but also the continuation of the work of the scenario writer will be deeply marked by the events. Told in detail in the famous biography of Donald Spoto, the various attacks of the scenario writer on his star will found a heavy atmosphere. Hitchcock starts by making prohibit the plate with the visitors and makes carry the every day of the champagne in the cabin of Tippi Hedren. Then one day he tells with the actress one of his dreams: “You were in the stay of my house of Santa Cruz, and there was a gleam, a rainbow, around you. You came close to me and said to me: “ Hitch, I love you. I will always love you… ” don't you include/understand (with low voice) which you are all that I ever dreamed to have? If there were not Alma…”

Hedren pushes back these advances of a " But it was a Hitch dream, only a dream ". Hitchcock in démord not: it tries to convince Universal which the service of the actress would deserve to launch a campaign for the Oscars, entrusts to more and more people, and engages of the comparses for épier the actress, to try to include/understand why this one pushes back it. To determine its personality, it sends to a graphologist a sample of its signature! If the cinema of Hitchcock were often the expression of the phantasms of the director, it seems that for the first time, art is not enough any more to contain its desires.

Vis-a-vis that, Hedren, which must marry and marry its agent little time afterwards, has evil to withstand the pressure. The team however tries to juggle as well as possible to avoid the open conflicts. Until the point of no return one afternoon when Hitchcock made in the cabin of the actress of the sexual advances which it pushes back violently. As from this moment, it is the hatred which seizes Hitchcock, threatening Hedren to lower its wages, to ruin it, break the career that it had created to him (what it will do of a certain kind). Environment becomes terrible. Hitchcock is addressed more directly to the actress (only it calls " this girl-là"), and uses intermediaries. It is since, according to certain sources, Hitchcock would have completely ignored film.
