Sexual Harasser - Alfred Hitchcock

[piccicatopolka]

Interview <snips> with Tippi Hedren (Melanie Griffith's mom), now a glowing 82, was a model in her early 30s when Hitchcock hired her for "The Birds." Although there were times of "delight and joy" as Hitchcock personally coached her on her acting, there were other times when he treated her horribly. After "Psycho," she said, actress Vera Miles refused to ever work with the director again. Hedren also said Suzanne Pleshette told her during "The Birds" filming, "It isn't always like this." Hedren says she knows "Vertigo" star Kim Novak, but the actress has "never said a word about anything wrong."

Be honest, how else was Hitchcock gonna get laid?!

This really is nothing new.

Many big directors and producers used their power to bed some of Hollywood's biggest stars back in the days when the studios ruled the roost.

In the article she says that if there were laws in place like they have now that she'd be a rich woman. I guess her middle name is SUE!

Fame is fleeting for women.

The artcile seemed to be a virus or something. I suggest nobody click on it.

Directors and producers fuck starlets all of the time, it's one reason why they got into the business in the first place. Any young woman who isn't famous due to nepotism most likely fucked her way into the biz. This is nothing new.

And it was the times. Women use to be a man's property - love and marriage didn't go together until women got to start making their own decisions.

Just because a law changes doesn't mean the culture changes. People in power have to want to change.
