Tippi Hedren

Veteran actress and fashion model Tippi Hedren was one of the beauties who was discovered by the late Alfred Hitchcock in the early 60s. At the time, she had modeled for a television commercial while the renowned director was watching TV. He offered her leading roles on both Marnie and The Birds. Hedren has said that Marnie was one of her favorite films while working with Hitchcock. After parting ways with Alfred Hitchcock, she appeared opposite Marlon Brando in A Countess from Hong Kong, which was also Charlie Chaplin’s last directed film.

She appeared once on the revamped version of Alfred Hitchcock Presents on an episode called “Man From The South”, playing the role of a waitress. She was also known as the former mother-in-law of actor Antonio Banderas via her daughter Melanie Griffith. Her most recent film appearance was back in 2017 with the film The Ghost and the Whale. She surely made sums of investment money from her salaries as an actress.
