Tippi Hedren Facts
Attended Suzanne Pleshette's funeral in 2008. They starred together in The Birds (1963).

Participated in panel at University of Illinois on "Hitchcock, Women and Terror, " October 2001.

Alfred Hitchcock saw her in a 1962 commercial aired during the "Today" (1952) show and cast her in The Birds (1963). In the commercial for a diet drink, she is seen walking down a street and a man whistles at her slim, attractive figure, and she turns her head with an acknowledging smile. In the opening scene of The Birds (1963), the same thing happens as she walks toward the bird shop. This was an inside joke by Hitchcock.
