Finish with the blonde-Tippi & Hitchcock

It was the year 1962 and Alfred Hitchcock was looking for his next leading lady. He had already made a name for himself in Hollywood with his iconic thrillers, but he was always on the lookout for someone new and exciting. That’s when he came across Tippi Hedren, a young and stunning blonde who had caught his eye. He knew she was perfect for his next film, but little did he know, she would also change his life in a way he never expected.

Tippi was the epitome of ice, with her blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. She had an air of mystery and a coolness about her that Hitchcock found irresistible. He tried to approach her in both professional and personal ways, but she remained distant and uninterested. However, Hitchcock was not one to give up easily, and he knew there was still a sure way to get her attention: to scare her.

He invited Tippi to his office and showed her the script for his next film, ‘The Birds’. As she read through it, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease. This was exactly what Hitchcock was waiting for. He turned off the lights and played eerie bird sounds, while fake birds flew out of hidden panels. Tippi’s reaction was priceless, she screamed and jumped out of her seat, her heart racing with fear.

But for Hitchcock, this was just the beginning. He continued to push Tippi’s limits, making her do multiple takes of the infamous attic scene where birds attack her. He even went as far as throwing real birds at her, causing her to run out of the set in terror. The crew was shocked, but Hitchcock just laughed, loving every minute of it.

Despite the fear and tension on set, there was a strange chemistry between Hitchcock and Tippi. They would often have long conversations, and she would open up to him about her fears and insecurities. She saw a different side of him, a vulnerable and passionate man who was more than just a master of suspense.

As filming continued, Tippi started to develop a fever for Hitchcock. She couldn’t resist his charm and the way he made her feel alive. And Hitchcock, for his part, realized that he had found his leading lady, not just for ‘The Birds’, but for life.

Years later, Tippi would look back on that experience and say, ‘Hitchcock gave me a fever, but I gave him a chill.’ And indeed, their relationship was one of the most talked-about in Hollywood, but for Hitchcock, the coolest thing about his job was not just finishing with a blonde, but finding love in the most unexpected way.
