There is a plate: https://www.toutiao.com/i6494956104693318157/ In 1963, Alfred Hitchcock watched Tippi Hedren's audition footage and told her: "The Birds is coming. That was the best I ever An ambitious work is bigger, better, and more terrifying than any previous film. We want you to be the heroine." 1 Tibby Headley was born in Minnesota, USA on January 19, 1931. Scandinavian descent. In 1952, she married her first husband Peter Griffith, and their marriage ended in 1961. Headley raised her daughter Melanie alone Griffith, will also become an actor in the future). Before making the movie, Hedley was just a graphic model in New York, and sometimes he also shot commercials, but the encounter with the Hitchcock couple completely changed her destiny. The thing is like this. In 1957, Alfred Hitchcock’s wife, Irma, saw an advertisement starred by Hitchcock on TV. She felt that her smile was beautiful and recommended her to her husband, Hitchcock. Kirk remembered the girl. At that time, he already had the idea of filming "The Birds", but due to too many filming plans, he was still on the shelf for the time being. Until one day Hitchcock saw a piece of news in the newspaper: There was a bird attack on humans in Santa Cruz. A large group of seagulls lost their way in the fog, flying around, rushing to street lights, and breaking glass. . Hitchcock suddenly remembered this story, so he began to plan "The Birds", the location was chosen in Podgar Bay. Elma thinks that Tibby Headley can become another rising star in Hitchcock's film and arranges a luncheon. In October 1961, 31-year-old Headley met Hitchcock, one of the most popular directors in Hollywood at the time. Soon, Hitchcock filmed an audition segment for Hedley at his home in Belle Air, Los Angeles. Headley is a typical blonde girl with exquisite features and noble temperament. Although her acting skills are mediocre and her figure is slightly taller, it does not hinder Hitchcock's plan to train her as the "next Grace Kelly". Perhaps what Hedley was most satisfied with was that Hedley had room for sculpting and shaping at will. He admired Headley and told reporters bluntly: "Tibby Headley is extraordinary!" 2 The filming experience of "The Birds" was quite bad. Once again, the "Blonde" became an important part of the film and the filming process. Double "victim". Most of the shots of birds attacking people in the film used mechanical birds, but at the end of the film, when the heroine was attacked by a flock of birds in the attic, the fake birds were replaced with real birds. Hitchcock did not tell Hedley that Hedley came to the set to know the truth. During this difficult week, Hedley was closed in a closed studio, tied to the birds, and these hungry, grumpy birds pecking at her frantically. Hitchcock asked the staff to throw cages of birds on her again. Headley was pecked by a bird and injured her eyelid. She was on the verge of collapse and was immediately taken to the hospital where she was diagnosed with anxiety. Hitchcock had to stop filming for a week. Many years later, when Hedley recalled this incident, he still had a grudge: "I trust Hitchcock, and he also made me feel confident. But when the birds started pecking at me, the shooting became a nightmare. He was before Didn’t tell me this at all, I might be pecked blind! I am very young and I did exactly what the director said. I shouldn't have experienced all of this in the first place. "Hedley also disclosed other painful past to reporters. During the filming of "The Birds", Hitchcock would ask the driver to take her home by the way. He pounced on Hedley in the car and asked Hedley to "touch me." Sometimes he would show up in the locker room and touch her body, which made her feel very uncomfortable. "I could only obey him at the time, because I knew that if I refused, he would let the bird really attack me when shooting. as punishment. After "The Flock of Birds" was finished, Hitchcock gave Melanie, who was six at the time, a small gift. It was a doll made according to her mother's model in "The Flock of Birds." The gift is quite commemorative. The box containing the doll is not a common paper box, but a wooden box. Hedley is extremely indignant about this. She thinks this box represents a coffin, and Hitchcock is not at ease. 3 The heroine of "Big Thief", Hitchcock Kirk originally liked Grace Kelly, but she, the princess of Monaco, was inconvenient to steal things on the screen. It is said that after filming "The Birds", Hitchcock and Headley did not want to cooperate with each other anymore, but in the end the heroine It still fell on Hedley. This may be because the success of "The Birds" made Hedley's fame so much that Hitchcock really couldn't find a more suitable blonde girl for this role. Hedley's appearance order in "Big Thieves" People talked about it. At the beginning of the film, her face was not seen, only black hair. When she returned to the hotel to wash her hair, we were surprised to find that the water was getting darker. Hedley showed her golden hair. The contradiction that was buried from the beginning of "The Birds" finally broke out when the filming of "Big Thieves" finally broke out. This incident is said to have started with a leave. Headley is going to New York to attend the "Rising Stars" awards party and ask for leave from the crew. When Hitchcock was sternly rejected. Hedley was quite dissatisfied with this, and seemed to mock Hitchcock’s body shape secretly (Hitch once said "She mentioned my weight”). This hit Hitch’s pain point, he hates others for talking about his size. In short, after this incident, their relationship has completely deteriorated. The two no longer talk directly, seeing each other as air. Hope. When Ou Kirk talked about Hedley, he no longer called her by her name, but called her "the girl." Hedley mentioned this matter very gracefully: "I take full responsibility for the breakdown of our cooperative relationship, this It was my unilateral decision. Hitchcock’s biography "The Dark Side of Genius" reveals a lot of their grievances and hatred. It is said that Hitchcock had made a sexual request to Hedley very directly, but Hedley rejected it very directly. Hitchcock So full of frustration, Hedley was also banned because of love and hatred. Once the scenery was boundless, Hedley was never able to get an important role. In 2012, a feature film "The Girl" (The Girl) was broadcast on HBO. Out, it is to talk about her unhappy past with Hitchcock from the perspective of Headley. The film portrays Hitchcock as a sexual assailant and a sadist. What nasty thing happened between Hitchcock and Headley , True or false, can not be completely trusted, but Melanie's evaluation of Hitchcock when she grows up can be seen: "He is a shameless bastard! You can say this is what I said! "Speaking of this, Headley's response was: "This is a painful experience that I don't want to remember anymore. I feel sorry for Mr. Hitchcock. "
4 Except for "The Flock of Birds" and "The Amazing Thief", most viewers know very little about Tibby Headley. In fact, after the breakdown of the relationship between Headley and Hitchcock, he still played many roles. In 1981 "Roar" (Roar), Headley served as producer and starring at the same time, which became a turning point in her career. She began to actively participate in animal protection activities, and at the same time enthusiastically devote herself to humanitarian and environmental protection. After getting married for the third time in 1985, she devoted a lot of energy to philanthropy and became an international disaster reduction coordinator of the international non-governmental organization "Poverty Relief". Haidley has been to many countries and regions in the world, participated in disaster relief work such as earthquakes, hurricanes, famines, and wars, and won the "Humanitarian Award." At the same time, she did not give up her acting career, often appearing in movies, theaters and television. In 1994, Headley was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Beauvais Film Festival in France, and received the same award in Spain in 1995. In 1999, he was awarded the title of "Woman of Vision" by the Film and Television Women's Organization in Washington, DC, and was later awarded the Presidential Medal in the film category by Hofstra University in the United States. In people's minds, Hedley is always the delicate and elegant stunner in "The Birds" and "Big Thieves", and is Hitchcock's "blonde". But none of the many films she starred in can stand the test of time. It is difficult for posterity to judge whether Hitchcock made Tibby Headley or killed the newly rising star with his own hands.
