Jodie Foster Does Her Best Tippie Hedren
Here's Jodie Foster in The Birds shot by Norman Jean Roy from Vanity Fair's great Hitchcock homage in the Hollywood Issue. AFTER THE JUMP, a few more of my favorites...
Marion Cotillard in Psycho shot by Mark Seliger, Seth Rogen in North By Northwest and Emile Hirsch and James McAvoy in Strangers on a Train both shot by Art Streiber.
Finally, Tang Wei, Josh Brolin, Casey Affleck, Eva Marie Saint, Ben Foster, Omar Metwally, and Julie Christie in Lifeboat shot by Mark Seliger.

Can somebody PLEASE tell me how to stop this popunder gambling thing that comes up on every page?
Andy -- I've sent three or more messages to contact, but no response, and it keeps appearing! Do I have to stop all popups because of your site?

I agree! The flash advertising has caused my browser to crash on several occasions. The ad server doesn't load and the page freezes up. (and I have pop-ups turned off) Please fix!

These pictures are amazing, I want to frame them all.

Try turning your pop-up blocker on.

Jodie Foster is a great screen actress, but Tippie Hedren had one of the most beautiful faces the cinema ever presented (that's with all due respect to Liz Taylor, Vivien Leigh, Madelaine Carroll, Fredi Washington, Frances Farmer, Ava Gardner, Dorothy Dandridge, Sophia Loren, Catherine Deneuve, Julie Christie & Garbo). I love beauty! That inner beauty of the mind & soul stuff is nice too. Tippie's daughter aint bad lookin' either.

geez, use firefox you doofuses.

Jodie might be a great actress, but that's a really unflattering photo of her. She looks like she storing nuts in her cheeks for winter.

OK guys -- read!!! I don't WANT to have to turn off popups just for this site, and Clay has his turned on and it freezes.
I had the same thing happening on Firefox, though that seems to have stopped now.

oops! I meant Scott B. Sorry!

This isn't a browser specific issue (I'm not on IE). It has to do with lags coming from the ad server that freeze the progress of the loading of the page. It's intermittent, but happens enough it's worth mentioning.

oops, jodie looks more like stockard channing.

It's so odd to see these way-too-young-for-the-shot actors trying to fill in for the real thing. For me that's what makes these actual moments so classic - actors with faces of qualities and texture AND age/life. Pretty boys and girls with perfect skin and 2% body fat just don't look real...

Love the Strangers on a Train one but Seth Rogan in place of Cary Grant? I don't think Cary had the gut hanging out....should have been Clooney.

I love the idea of McAvoy and Hirsch in Strangers on a Train. Even better would be The Rope.

You should see the Naomi Watts pic of her as Marnie. Its a real knock-out.

I will not be buying this issue of Vanity Fair. Ever since Michael Roberts became the creative director the magazine has moved in this really hokey-gay-Entertainment Weekly direction. Remember last year's awful Film Noir shoot, or the Tyra Banks Breakfast at Tiffany's shoot, or Nicole Kidman dressed up a s a sexy sailor...WTF? Everything is old Hollywood refry...this magazine officially sucks..So good until about 2003.

My anti-spyware software is warning me of attempted hacking attempts when I load pages on this site now. Reading fluff isn't worth identity theft, so I'm avoiding this site for the time being.

The whole thing's a bit redundant isn't it?

Tales of Tippi Hedren (I don’t think there’s an e in her first name) I saw her inner beauty many years ago at Gumps in San Francisco I just happened to catch her gaze after I suddenly recognized her. I smiled at her, I didn’t approach her I didn’t ask for anything, I simply smiled (I have all my own teeth and they are not green) She gave me a dirty look like I had just shit on her best shoes. An employee at the store said, “she does that to nearly everyone, she hates fans and all common people.”

I don't know about Tippi's attitude when encountering fans in person, but I was lucky enough to get into a sold-out screening of The Birds last year in Seattle with a preceeding hour-long interview and Q&A with Ms. Hedren and found her charming and forthcoming (especially about Hitch's major infatuation/obsession with her with that contributed to the end of his marriage).

I got to meet Tippi last fall at fundraiser hosted by Hell in a Handbag Productions. She was charming, polite, sweet as all get out, and DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. Maybe she just didn't like Gump's.
Posted by: Mona | Feb 7, 2008 2:16:32 PM
Uh, Hitchcock's marriage was only ended by his death.

Mmmmm.....Ben Foster and Casey Affleck.....mmmmmm.......
