ALFRED HITCHCOCK: TWO SIDES OF THE STORY

Suddenly Alfred Hitchcock, who died in 1980, is SO hot that two movies about him are about to be released. The first one by HBO is called “The Girl” and it airs October 20. This one sounds juicier – it chronicles Hitchcock’s obsession with his star of “The BirdsTippi Hedren, and her struggle to fight off his advances. English actress Sienna Miller plays Tippi and Toby Jones plays the rather repulsive director. (Top photo)
The second movie, a feature film, is called “Hitchcock” and it documents the struggle the director had getting “Psycho” to the screen. Both films take place in the 60’s. Anthony Hopkins is Hitchcock and Scarlett Johansson is Janet Leigh in this movie, set for release on November 23.

Melanie Griffith and her mother Tippi Hedren have always been close, and they did some Christmas shopping in Aspen. Did you know Melanie was named after her mother’s character in “The Birds?” If we were Tippi, we’d just buy everyone on her list that new limited edition Barbie “Birds” doll. Do you suppose Tippi gets any money from that doll?
