'''Nathalie Kay''' "'''Tippi'''" '''Hedren''' (born January 19, 1930) is an American retired actress. Initially a fashion model, appearing on the front covers of ''[[Life (magazine)|Life]]'' and ''[[Glamour (magazine)|Glamour]]'' magazines (among others), she became an actress after being discovered by director [[Alfred Hitchcock]] while appearing on a television commercial in 1961. Hedren achieved great praise for her work in two of his films, including the suspense-thriller ''[[The Birds (film)|The Birds]]'' (1963), for which she won a [[Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year – Actress|Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year]], and the psychological drama ''[[Marnie (film)|Marnie]]'' (1964). She performed in over 80 films and television shows, including [[Charlie Chaplin]]'s final film ''[[A Countess from Hong Kong]]'' (1967), the political satire ''[[Citizen Ruth]]'' (1996), and the existential comedy ''[[I Heart Huckabees]]'' (2004). Among other honors, her contributions to world cinema have been recognized with the [[Jules Verne Award]] and a star on the [[Hollywood Walk of Fame]].
Tippi Hedren is the mother of actress [[Melanie Griffith]]. Active in animal causes, she was sometimes billed as 'Tippi' Hedren in her early acting career.
 
Hedren's strong commitment to animal rescue began in 1969 while she was shooting two films in Africa and was introduced to the plight of African lions. In an attempt to raise awareness for wildlife, she spent over a decade bringing ''[[Roar (film)|Roar]]'' (1981) to the screen. She started her own nonprofit organization, the Roar Foundation, in 1983; it supports the [[Shambala Preserve]], an {{convert|80|acre|ha|adj=on}} wildlife habitat that enables her to continue her work in the care and preservation of lions and tigers. Hedren has also set up relief programs worldwide following earthquakes, hurricanes, famine and war. She was also instrumental in the development of Vietnamese-American [[nail salons]].<ref name="With Polish"/><ref>{{Cite news|last=Morris|first=Regan|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-32544343|title=How manicures saved Vietnam refugees|date=May 3, 2015|publisher=BBC News|access-date=February 17, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Edmondson|first=Michael|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tLipCwAAQBAJ&q=tippi+hedren+nail+salons&pg=PT145|title=Success: Theory and Practice|date=March 10, 2016|publisher=Business Expert Press|isbn=978-1-63157-422-1}}</ref>

Hedren was born of a [[Sweden|Swedish]] father and a [[German-American|German]]-[[Norwegian-American|Norwegian]] mother. Her father gave her the moniker "Tippi" even though her birth name is Nathalie Hedren. "My father thought Nathalie was a little bit much for a brand new baby," Hedren remembered at a 2004 screening of ''The Birds.'' Tippi comes from the [[Swedish language|Swedish]] nickname "Tupsa," or "sweetheart."
 
==Career==
As a teenager, Hedren took part in [[department store]] fashion shows. Her parents relocated to [[California]] while she was still a student in [[high school]]. As soon as she had her 18th birthday, she bought a ticket to [[New York]] and started her professional modeling career. Within a year she made her movie debut as one of the Petty Girls in the musical comedy ''The Petty Girl'' (1950), although in interviews she refers to ''The Birds'' as her first film. While in New York, she met and married her first husband, [[Peter Griffith]], in 1952. <sup>1</sup>
===1950–1960: Modeling===
On reaching her 20th birthday, Hedren bought a ticket to New York City, where she joined the [[Ford Models|Eileen Ford Agency]]. Within a year, she made her unofficial film debut as "Miss Ice Box" in the musical comedy ''[[The Petty Girl]]''. In interviews, she referred to ''The Birds,'' her first credited role, as her first film.<ref>Vroman, Lavender. ''Tippi Hedren airs out her early acting days, wildlife preservation,'' ''[[Antelope Valley Press]],'' p. A6, September 30, 2004.</ref> Although she received several film offers during that time, Hedren had no interest in acting, as she knew it was very difficult to succeed.<ref>Moral ("The Birds"), p. 16.</ref>
 
She had a highly successful modeling career during the 1950s and early 1960s, appearing on the covers of ''[[Life (magazine)|Life]],'' ''[[The Saturday Evening Post]],'' ''[[McCall's]],'' and ''[[Glamour (magazine)|Glamour]],'' among others. In 1961, after seven years of marriage to the actor Peter Griffith, Hedren divorced and returned to California with her daughter, [[Melanie Griffith|Melanie]], and rented an expensive home in [[Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles|Sherman Oaks]]. She later said, "I thought I could continue my career as it had been in New York. I thought everything would be just fine, and it wasn't. So I thought, 'well, I don't type, what shall I do?{{'"}}<ref name=FT-2012-07-27>{{cite news|last=Millard|first=Rosie|url=http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/14e3358c-d5f1-11e1-a5f3-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2HbGxCPMO |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/P5r2K |archive-date=December 10, 2022 |url-access=subscription|title=Hitchcock's girl|publisher=Pearson PLC|newspaper=[[FT Magazine]]|date=July 27, 2012|access-date=February 1, 2016}}</ref>
==''The Birds'' in retrospect==
At a packed house in [[Lancaster, California|Lancaster]], [[California]]'s [[Antelope Valley]] Independent Film Festival Cinema Series screening of ''The Birds'' on September 28, 2004, Hedren recounted her film career and her big acting break to a spellbound audience for almost an hour. "I said, 'Well, who is this person? Who is interested?'... Nobody would tell me who it was." Of course, it was Alfred Hitchcock, who soon announced that Hedren was his new lead actress.
 
===1961–1966: Transition to acting and Alfred Hitchcock===
She remembered the work (on location at [[Bodega Bay, California|Bodega Bay]]) as being dangerous and taxing. During the filming of the last attack scene, Hedren became exhausted to the point of sitting down on the middle of the set and crying. A week's rest was ordered by a doctor at that time of completing the film. "For a first film, it was a lot of work," Hedren mused. Her performance brought her a Golden Globe as Most Promising Newcomer. <sup>2</sup>
====Discovery (1961)====
On October 13, 1961, she received a call from an agent who told her a producer was interested in working with her. When she was told it was [[Alfred Hitchcock]], who while watching ''[[Today (NBC program)|The Today Show]],'' saw her in a commercial for a diet drink called [[Sego (diet drink)|Sego]], she agreed to sign a seven-year contract. During their first meeting, the two talked about everything except the role for which he was considering her. Hedren was convinced for several weeks it was for his television series, ''[[Alfred Hitchcock Presents]].''<ref>Moral ("Marnie"), p. 16.</ref><ref>McGilligan, pp. 614–15.</ref>
 
Being an unknown actress with little training, Hitchcock put Hedren through an extensive color screen test that lasted two days and cost $25,000, doing scenes from his previous films, such as ''[[Rebecca (1940 film)|Rebecca]],'' ''[[Notorious (1946 film)|Notorious]],'' and ''[[To Catch a Thief]]'' with actor [[Martin Balsam]]. According to Balsam, Hedren was very nervous, but studied every line, did every move she was asked to, and tried to do everything right.<ref name="Spoto09-170">Spoto (2009), p. 170.</ref> Hitchcock asked costume designer [[Edith Head]] to design clothes for Hedren's private life and he personally advised her about wine and food.<ref name="Spoto09-170"/> He also insisted for publicity purposes that her name should be printed only in single quotes, 'Tippi'.<ref name="Spoto09-170"/> The press mostly ignored this directive from the director, who felt that the single quotes added distinction and mystery to her name.<ref>Moral ("The Birds"), p. 166.</ref> Hitchcock was impressed with Hedren. As production designer [[Robert F. Boyle]] explained, "Hitch always liked women who behaved like well-bred ladies. Tippi generated that quality."<ref name="McGilligan615">McGilligan, p. 615.</ref>
==Hedren and Hitchcock==
Hitchcock's plan to mold her image went so far as insisting that her name should be printed only in single quotes -- 'Tippi' -- yet for the most part, journalists ignored the press releases with this curious dictum by the director. Strained by Hitchcock's controlling manner, Hedren declined further work with him after ''Marnie'' in 1964. "It grew to be impossible. He was a very controlling type of person, and I guess I'm not about to be controlled." Ending their professional relationship on a sour note, she remarked "He said, 'Well, I'll ruin your career.' And he did." Producers who wished to hire Hedren for acting roles had to go through Hitchcock, who would inform them that "she isn't available." <sup>3</sup>
 
Afterward, Hedren was invited to lunch with Hitchcock, his wife, [[Alma Reville|Alma]], and [[Lew Wasserman]], head of Universal, at one of Hitchcock's favorite restaurants, [[Chasen's]]. There, she was presented with a golden pin of three birds in flight, adorned by three tiny seed pearls, and was asked by Hitchcock to play the leading role in his upcoming film ''The Birds.'' "I was so stunned. It never occurred to me that I would be given a leading role in a major motion picture. I had great big tears in my eyes," Hedren later recalled.<ref name=FT-2012-07-27/>
==Her career after Hitchcock and Shambala Preserve==
After the two for Hitchcock, she went on to make 40 films between 1967 and 2005. After ''Marnie'', she next appeared in [[Charlie Chaplin]]'s last film, ''[[A Countess from Hong Kong]]'' ([[1967 in film|1967]]). In 1981, she produced her own film, ''[[Roar]],'' a grueling, five-year project starring dozens of African lions. "This was probably one of the most dangerous films that Hollywood has ever seen," remarked the actress. "It's amazing no one was killed." During the production of ''Roar'', both Hedren and her husband at the time, [[Noel Marshall]], were attacked by lions, and [[Jan de Bont]], the director of photography, was scalped.
 
====''The Birds'' (1963)====
''Roar'' directly led to the establishment of Hedren's Shambala Preserve, located in [[Acton, California|Acton]], California between the Antelope Valley and the [[Santa Clarita Valley]] just north of [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]]. Shambala, an animal rescue preserve, houses (and has housed) the animals that appeared in ''Roar.'' Hedren lives on the site and conducts monthly tours of Shambala for the public. The preserve also houses many birds, according to Hedren. When asked about this point by an audience member, she replied, "I love birds. No, I like 'em. I do. I hate to tell you that. It spoils the whole story." <sup>4</sup>
[[File:Tippi Hedren and Alfred Hitchcock in "The Birds" teaser.jpg|thumb|left|Hedren with Alfred Hitchcock in a [[Trailer (promotion)|trailer]] for ''[[The Birds (film)|The Birds]]'' (1963)]]
''[[The Birds (film)|The Birds]]'' (1963) was Hedren's screen debut. Hitchcock became her drama coach, and gave her an education in film-making, as she attended many of the production meetings such as script, music, or photography conferences.<ref name="Taylor266">Taylor, p. 266.</ref> Hedren said, "I probably learned in three years what it would have taken me 15 years to learn otherwise."<ref name="MakingOfTB">{{cite news|last=Counts|first=Kyle B.|url=http://www.hitchcockwiki.com/files/articles/TheMakingOfTheBirds|title=THE MAKING OF ALFRED HITCHCOCK'S THE BIRDS|work=HitchcockWiki.com|access-date=July 24, 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120729160322/http://www.hitchcockwiki.com/files/articles/TheMakingOfTheBirds/|archive-date=July 29, 2012|df=mdy-all}}</ref> She learned how to break down a script, to become another character, and to study the relationship of different characters.<ref name="movieline">{{cite news|last=Topel|first=Fred|url=http://movieline.com/2012/08/06/alfred-hitchcock-tippi-hedren-hbo-the-girl-birds-sienna-miller|title=Hitchcock 'Was a Monster': Tippi Hedren and HBO's 'The Girl'|work=Movieline|date=August 6, 2012|access-date=July 24, 2013}}</ref> Hedren portrayed her role of Melanie Daniels as Hitchcock requested. She said, "He gives his actors very little leeway. He'll listen, but he has a very definite plan in mind as to how he wants his characters to act. With me, it was understandable, because I was not an actress of stature. I welcomed his guidance."<ref>McGilligan, p. 621.</ref>
 
During the six months of principal photography, Hedren's schedule was tight, as she was only given one afternoon off a week.<ref name="MakingOfTB"/> At first, she found the shooting "wonderful".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hitchcockwiki.com/wiki/The_Times_(11/Sep/2008)_-_Tippi_Hedren:_Alfred_Hitchcock_tried_to_destroy_my_career|title=Tippi Hedren: Alfred Hitchcock tried to destroy my career|publisher=HitchcockWiki.com|work=The Times|date=September 11, 2008|access-date=July 24, 2013}}</ref> Hitchcock told a reporter, after a few weeks of filming, that she was remarkable, and said, "She's already reaching the lows and highs of terror."<ref name="Spoto09-172">Spoto (2009), p. 172.</ref> Nonetheless, Hedren recalled the week she did the final bird attack scene in a second-floor bedroom as the worst of her life.<ref name="Taylor266"/> Before filming it, she asked Hitchcock about her character's motivations to go upstairs, and his response was, "Because I tell you to."

==Marriages==
 
Tippi Hedren has been married four times:
Universal's executives, who did not back Hitchcock's decision to hire Hedren in the first place, were impressed with her performance and Wasserman described it as "remarkable".<ref>McGilligan, p. 664.</ref> While promoting ''The Birds,'' Hitchcock was full of praise for his new protégée, and compared her to [[Grace Kelly]]. "Tippi has a faster tempo, city glibness, more humor [than Grace Kelly]. She displayed jaunty assuredness, pertness, an attractive throw of the head, and she memorized and read lines extraordinarily well and is sharper in expression."<ref name="Spoto09-172"/> The film was screened out of competition in May at a prestigious invitational showing at the [[1963 Cannes Film Festival]].<ref name="festival-cannes.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.festival-cannes.com/en/archives/ficheFilm/id/3106/year/1963.html|title=Festival de Cannes: The Birds |access-date=February 1, 2016|publisher=festival-cannes.com}}</ref> Hedren's performance was praised in ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]''{{'}}s review: "Aside from the birds, the film belongs to Hedren, who makes an auspicious screen bow.

Hitchcock was so impressed with Hedren's acting abilities, he decided to offer her the leading role of his next film, ''[[Marnie (film)|Marnie]]'' (1964), a romantic drama and psychological thriller from the novel by [[Winston Graham]], during the filming of ''The Birds.''<ref name="Moral19">Moral ("Marnie"), p. 19.</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=John Hunt|url=http://www.cartog.co.uk/wgraham/novellist/novellist.html|title=Official list of Winston Graham novels at|publisher=Cartog.co.uk|date=March 26, 2012|access-date=October 20, 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120323113650/http://www.cartog.co.uk/wgraham/novellist/novellist.html|archive-date=March 23, 2012|df=mdy-all}}</ref> Hedren was stunned and felt extremely fortunate to be offered to play "such a complicated, sad, tragic woman", and later said, "I consider my acting, while not necessarily being [[method acting]], but one that draws upon my own feelings.

Hedren recalled ''Marnie'' as her favorite of the two films she did with Hitchcock for the challenge of playing an emotionally battered young woman who travels from city to city assuming various guises to rob her employers.<ref name="SCV">{{cite web|author=Leon Worden|url=http://www.scvhistory.com/scvhistory/signal/newsmaker/sg030605.htm|title=SCV NEWSMAKER OF THE WEEK: Tippi Hedren|publisher=Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society|access-date=March 5, 2005}}</ref> During the filming, Hitchcock was quoted as saying about Hedren, "an [[Academy Award]] performance is in the making."<ref>McGilligan, p. 644.</ref> On release, the film was greeted by mixed reviews and indifferent box-office returns, and received no Oscar nominations. ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' wrote, "Hedren returns in a particularly demanding role.

====Allegations of sexual harassment<span class="anchor" id="Sexual harassment"></span>====
 
''Marnie'' was the second and last collaboration between Hedren and Hitchcock. In 1973, she admitted that a major lifestyle difference caused a split in their relationship. "He was too possessive and too demanding. I cannot be possessed by anyone. But, then, that's my own hangup."<ref>{{cite news|last=Christy|first=Marian|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=putVAAAAIBAJ&pg=891,2139232|title=Hitchcock Too Possessive, Demanding|work=[[The Beaver County Times]]|date=July 23, 1973|access-date=July 25, 2013}}</ref> In 1983, author [[Donald Spoto]] published his second book about Hitchcock, ''The Dark Side of Genius,'' for which Hedren agreed to talk for the first time in detail about her relationship with the director.<ref name="inquirer"/>
The book was controversial, as several of Hitchcock's friends claimed the Hitchcock portrayed in the book was not the man they knew.<ref>McGilligan, p. 747.</ref> For years after its release, Hedren was not keen to talk about it in interviews, but thought the chapter devoted to her story was "accurate as to just what he was".<ref>{{cite news|first=James|last=Brady|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Q5MiAAAAIBAJ&pg=3072,2833625|title=In step with Tippi Hedren|newspaper=[[The Item]]|date=March 13, 1994|access-date=July 23, 2013}}</ref> Hedren later explained her long silence before telling her story, "It was embarrassing and insulting—there were a lot of reasons why I didn't want to tell the story. I didn't want it to be taken advantage of, twisted, turned, and made into an even uglier situation than it was."<ref name="inquirer"/>
 
[[File:Tippi Hedren & Rod Taylor The Birds Still.jpg|thumb|upright|left|Hedren with [[Rod Taylor]] in ''The Birds'' (1963)]]
According to Spoto's book, Hitchcock brought in two members of his crew during the filming of ''The Birds'' and asked them to keep careful watch on the activities of Hedren, "when she left the set—where she went, who she visited, how she spent her free time".<ref name="Spoto83-456">Spoto (1983), p. 456.</ref> He then advised her on what she should eat, whom she should see, and how she should live. He told the cast and crew they were not allowed to talk to her. Hedren's co-star in ''The Birds,'' [[Rod Taylor]], later remembered, "Hitch was becoming very domineering and covetous of 'Tippi', and it was very difficult for her. No one was permitted to come physically close to her during the production. 'Don't touch the girl after I call "Cut!{{"'}} he said to me repeatedly."<ref name="Spoto09-172"/> Hitchcock also attempted, on one occasion, to grab and violently kiss Hedren in the back of a car as they drove onto the set.<ref name="Spoto09-172"/><ref>Spoto (2009), pp. 174–75.</ref> Hedren told his assistant, [[Peggy Robertson]], and the studio chief, Lew Wasserman, that she was becoming very unhappy about the whole situation. "But he was Alfred Hitchcock, the great and famous director, and I was Tippi Hedren, an inexperienced actress who had no clout."<ref name="Spoto09-173"/> She decided she could not quit her contract because she was afraid to be blacklisted and unable to find work.<ref name="Spoto09-174">Spoto (2009), p. 174.</ref> Hedren's own daughter, [[Melanie Griffith]], remembered that while Hedren was doing ''The Birds,'' she thought Hitchcock was taking her mother away from her. "Suddenly, I wasn't allowed even to visit my mom at the studio."<ref name="Spoto09-173">Spoto (2009), p. 173.</ref>
 
During the filming of ''Marnie,'' Hedren found Hitchcock's behavior toward her increasingly difficult to bear as filming progressed. "Everyone – I mean everyone – knew he was obsessed with me. He always wanted a glass of wine or champagne, with me alone, at the end of the day. He was really isolating me from everyone."<ref name="Spoto09-183">Spoto (2009), p. 183.</ref> Hedren's co-star in ''Marnie,'' [[Diane Baker]], later recalled, "She was never allowed to gather around with the rest of us, and he demanded that every conversation between her and Hitch be held in private... Nothing could have been more horrible for me than to arrive on that movie set and to see her being treated the way she was."<ref>Spoto (2009), p. 182.</ref>
 
Hitchcock revealed to Hedren one day he had a recurring dream where she came up to him and said, "Hitch, I love you – I'll always love you." When she heard this, Hedren replied "But it was a dream. Just a dream," and excused herself from his presence.<ref name="Spoto83-472">Spoto (1983), p. 472.</ref> She believed Hitchcock had no consideration for her feelings and remembered she was humiliated after he asked her to touch him, just before shooting a scene. "He made sure no one else could hear, and his tone and glance made it clear exactly what he meant."<ref name="Spoto09-183"/> Hedren asked Hitchcock's permission one day to travel to New York to appear on ''[[The Tonight Show]]'', where she was supposed to be presented an award as the "Most Promising New Star". Hitchcock refused, according to his biographer, because he claimed the break would affect her performance.<ref name="McGilligan646">McGilligan, p. 646.</ref> During that meeting, he apparently "made an overt sexual proposition" that Hedren "could neither ignore nor answer casually, as she could his previous gestures".<ref name="Spoto83-475">Spoto (1983), p. 475.</ref> In Spoto's third book about Hitchcock, ''Spellbound by Beauty'' (2008), Hedren revealed that Hitchcock actually made offensive demands on her. "He stared at me and simply said, as if it was the most natural thing in the world, that from this time on, he expected me to make myself sexually available and accessible to him – however and whenever and wherever he wanted."<ref name="Spoto, p 187">Spoto (2009), p. 187.</ref> Hitchcock's demands led to a "horrible, horrible fight", according to Hedren. "He made these demands on me, and no way could I acquiesce to them."<ref name=FT-2012-07-27/>
 
[[File:Hitchcock Hedren Marnie Publicity Photo.jpg|thumb|upright|Hedren with [[Alfred Hitchcock]] in a publicity photograph for ''Marnie'' (1964)]]
Hedren then told him ''Marnie'' would be their last film together and later recalled how Hitchcock told her he would destroy her career. "I said I wanted to get out of my contract. He said: 'You can't. You have your daughter to support, and your parents are getting older.' I said: 'Nobody would want me to be in this situation, I want to get out.' And he said: 'I'll ruin your career.' I said: 'Do what you have to do.' And he did ruin my career. He kept me under contract, paid me to do nothing for close on two years." Hedren felt so humiliated, she called the director a "fat pig" in front of people on the set.<ref name="McGilligan646"/> Hitchcock made only a comment about it to his biographer, [[John Russell Taylor]]: "She did what no one is permitted to do. She referred to my weight." The two communicated only through a third party for the rest of the film.<ref name="Taylor272">Taylor, p. 272.</ref> According to ''Marnie'''s screenwriter, [[Jay Presson Allen]], Hitchcock was "mad" for Hedren.<ref name="Spoto 180">Spoto (2009), p. 180.</ref> She felt unhappy for both and described the situation as "an old man's ''[[wikt:cri de coeur|cri de coeur]]''", adding that Hitchcock had a "[[Pygmalion effect|Pygmalion complex]] about Tippi".<ref name="Moral100">Moral ("Marnie"), p. 100.</ref> She advised Hedren to finish the film and then get on with her life and be happy. Hedren's hairdresser, Virginia Darcy, even told Hitchcock he should not be possessive with Hedren. "Tippi felt rightly that she was not his property, but he'd say, 'You are, I have a contract.{{'"}}<ref name="Moral100"/> Although Hitchcock thought he might mend fences with Hedren and make another film with her, she refused to reconsider her decision.<ref name="McGilligan685">McGilligan, p. 685.</ref> Hedren's contract terms gave Hitchcock the final say as to any work she could take on and he used that power to turn down several film roles on her behalf. She was particularly disappointed when French director [[François Truffaut]] told her he had wanted her for one of them.<ref name="Spoto, p 187"/> In 1966, Hitchcock finally sold her contract to [[Universal Studios]] after Hedren appeared in two of their TV shows, ''[[Kraft Suspense Theatre]]'' (1965) and ''[[Run for Your Life (TV series)|Run for Your Life]]'' (id.).<ref>Moral ("Marnie"), p. 265.</ref> The studio ultimately released her from her contract after she refused to appear on a television Western for them.<ref>{{cite news|last=Hicklin|first=Aaron|url=http://www.out.com/entertainment/2011/03/18/ladies-we-love-tippi-hedren|title=Ladies We Love: Tippi Hedren|newspaper=[[Out (magazine)|Out]]|date=March 18, 2013|access-date=July 25, 2013}}</ref>
 
[[File:Tippi Hedren and The Girl.JPG|thumb|upright|left|Hedren in front of ''[[The Girl (2012 HBO film)|The Girl]]''{{'}}s poster in 2012]]
In 2012, ''[[The Girl (2012 TV film)|The Girl]]'', an HBO/BBC film about Hedren and Hitchcock's relationship, based on Donald Spoto's 2008 book ''Spellbound by Beauty: Alfred Hitchcock and His Leading Ladies'', was released. When she was first told about the project, Hedren said she had mixed feelings about it, "To be still alive and have a film made about you is an awesome and incredibly frightening experience."<ref name="HBO Hedren Interview">{{cite news|title=Interview with Tippi Hedren|url=http://www.hbo.com/movies/the-girl/interview/tippi-hedren.html|access-date=February 1, 2016|work=[[HBO]]}}</ref> Hedren and Hitchcock were respectively portrayed by [[Sienna Miller]] and [[Toby Jones]].
Although she was thrilled with the choice of Miller, Hedren was worried she would not be portrayed "as strong a character as I was – and still am. I had to be extremely strong to fight off Mr. Hitchcock." She described the moment she saw the film as "probably one of the most involved, emotionally tense 90 minutes that I have ever lived".<ref name="HBO Hedren Interview"/> Upon the film's release, Hedren said although she believed the film accurately portrays Hitchcock's behavior towards her, the time constraints of a 90-minute film prevented telling the entire story of her career with him. "It wasn't a constant barrage of harassment. If it had been constantly the way we have had to do it in this film, I would have been long gone." She recalled there were times she described as "absolutely delightful and wonderful", and insisted that "Hitchcock had a charm about him. He was very funny at times.

===Career setbacks (1967–1973)===
[[File:Tippi Hedren in "A Countess from Hong Kong" (1967) (alternate).png|thumb|Hedren in ''[[A Countess from Hong Kong]]'' (1967)]]
Hedren's first feature film appearance after ''Marnie'' was in the 1967 film ''[[A Countess from Hong Kong]]'', starring [[Marlon Brando]] and [[Sophia Loren]]. She was told by writer-director [[Charlie Chaplin]] that he was offering her a major supporting role as Brando's estranged wife but had to accept the role without reading the script.<ref name="Paul, p 85">Paul, p. 85.</ref> However, when she arrived in England, where the filming took place, she finally received the script and realized that her part was little more than a [[Cameo appearance|cameo]]. She asked Chaplin why he had lied to her. "Every actor in the world was asking if they could do this film, to just do a walk-on, without even being paid for it. When I said, 'Why didn't you just tell me that it was a cameo? I would have done this film anyway?' He said, 'I didn't think you would come,' which was very sweet. He was a very clever man."<ref name="Paul, p 85"/>
 
Hedren asked Chaplin to expand the role, and although he tried to accommodate her, he could not, as the story mostly takes place on a ship, which Hedren's character boards near the end of the film.<ref>Epstein, Jerry. ''Remembering Charlie'', Doubleday, 1989; {{ISBN|0385262825}}, p. 257.</ref> In the end, she remained in the film and later said that it was both amusing and strange to work with Chaplin.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/friday_review/story/0,,281738,00.html|work=The Guardian|location=London|title=The blonde queen of King Alfred|first=Anita|last=Chaudhuri|date=August 6, 1999|access-date=April 17, 2013}}</ref> She found him to be a very serious man and loved his approach to directing. She later said, "I wish someone would have been allowed to do a documentary. The way he directed was unlike anyone I ever saw. He acted out all the parts himself. He did Sophia's part, then Marlon's part, then mine, and then he'd say, 'Okay, now you can do it.' Which would be impossible, to mimic the master. It was incredible. None of us believed it. Marlon hated it."<ref>Milton, Joyce. ''Tramp: The Life of Charlie Chaplin'', Da Capo Press Inc, 1998; {{ISBN|978-0306808319}}, p. 529.</ref>
 
[[File:Tippi Hedren in "The Harrad Experiment" (1973).png|thumb|upright|left|Hedren in ''[[The Harrad Experiment]]'' (1973)]]
After the release of ''A Countess from Hong Kong'', Hedren's career was described as "spectacular" by the press. She told a reporter at the time, "I don't want to wait myself out of this business, but working for Hitch and Charlie has been very special to me, and now I'm going to wait for something special to come along."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=f0pJAAAAIBAJ&pg=532,4478455&hl=fr|title=Tippi Acts for Hitchcock and Chaplin|newspaper=[[The Vindicator]]|date=May 11, 1966|access-date=February 10, 2016}}</ref> In 1968, she signed on to do the [[American Civil War]] drama ''Five Against Kansas'' with [[Farley Granger]] and [[Jeffrey Hunter]], but the project was never realized.<ref>Green, Paul. ''Jeffrey Hunter: The Film, Television, Radio and Stage Performances'', McFarland & Co Inc, 2014; {{ISBN|978-0786478682}}, p. 124.</ref> In 1968, Hedren returned to film as a socialite who helps her boyfriend (played by [[George Armstrong (actor)|George Armstrong]]) catch a killer, in ''Tiger by the Tail''. From 1970 to 1971, she guest-starred twice on ''[[The Courtship of Eddie's Father (TV series)|The Courtship of Eddie's Father]]''. She agreed to take part in ''[[Satan's Harvest]]'' (1970) and ''Mister Kingstreet's War'' (1973)—which were shot back-to-back despite the discrepancy in their release dates—for the sole reason that they were being filmed in Africa.<ref name="SCV"/>
 
In 1973, Hedren played a teacher at an experimental sex school in ''[[The Harrad Experiment]]'', which starred [[James Whitmore]] and [[Don Johnson]]—the latter who would later marry her daughter, [[Melanie Griffith]]. Hedren felt that the film "deals with vital themes—themes like the decline in importance of ideas like possession and jealousy and, by inference, marriage. I have four teenaged children and I think this picture says some valuable things to them."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=QvgeAAAAIBAJ&pg=5178,5181325&hl=fr|title='Harrad' Isn't Just 'Another Dirty Movie'|newspaper=[[Sarasota Journal]]|date=April 21, 1972|access-date=February 2, 2016}}</ref> She confessed at the time that she was occasionally depressed because she was not doing any major films, and told a magazine, "My husband just cancelled all the [[trade magazine]]s because he felt I should cut off the source of my discontent.

===Later career (1982–present)===
After ''Roar'', Hedren accepted any low-budget television or cinema role that could help bring funds to her foundation to provide protection, shelter, care, and maintenance for the animals at the [[Shambala Preserve]]. In 1982, she co-starred with [[Leslie Nielsen]] in ''[[Foxfire Light]]''. She appeared in several television series, including ''[[Hart to Hart]]'' in 1983 and the late-night horror series ''[[Tales from the Darkside]]'' in 1984. In the 1985 pilot episode of ''[[The New Alfred Hitchcock Presents]]'', she made a brief appearance as a waitress in a bar who berates a customer, played by her daughter Melanie Griffith. In 1990, she had a nonspeaking, minor part as a wealthy widow romanced by [[Michael Keaton]] in the film ''[[Pacific Heights (1990 film)|Pacific Heights]]'' (1990), which also starred her daughter.<ref name="imdb">{{IMDb name|1335}}</ref> That same year, she had a role on ''[[The Bold and the Beautiful]]'', a daytime soap opera she said she was "proud to have in my resume".<ref>{{cite news|title=My particular role was neither bold nor beautiful – Tippi Hedren|url=http://emmyonline.com/my-particular-role-was-neither-bold-nor-beautiful-tippi-hedren|access-date=February 11, 2016|work=[[Emmy Award]]}}</ref>

In 1994, Hedren appeared in the made-for-cable sequel, ''[[The Birds II: Land's End]]'', in a role different from the one she had played in the original. She was, however, disappointed that she did not get a starring role and admitted before the film's release, "I wish that it was more than a cameo.

From 1994 to 1996, Hedren had a guest-starring role in ''[[Dream On (TV series)|Dream On]]''. The sitcom gave her "the opportunity to do comedy. I'd never done comedy before and it was just wonderful for me to be able to do that.

It was a unique kind of film to do also, because it had no dialogue in it. It was very, very different."<ref name="Paul, p 85"/> That same year, she guest-starred in a special episode titled "Psychodrama" of the television series ''[[Chicago Hope]]'', that paid tribute to the Hitchcock movies.

In 2012, Hedren and her daughter guest-starred together on an episode of ''[[Raising Hope]]''. That same year, she appeared in ''[[Free Samples]]'', an indie film where she had a supporting role as an old movie star. In 2013, she made an appearance as herself in the fourth-season finale of ''[[Cougar Town]]''.
 
Hedren published her autobiography, ''Tippi: A Memoir'', co-written with Lindsay Harrison, in 2016 through [[William Morrow and Company]], as she felt it was "about time I stop letting everyone else tell my story and finally tell it myself".<ref>Hedren (2016), p. 5.</ref> In 2018, at age 88, Hedren became the new face of [[Gucci]]'s timepieces and jewelry and starred as a mysterious fortune teller in the brand's commercial ad, ''The Fortune Teller''.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Brookins|first1=Laurie|title=Hitchcock Heroine Tippi Hedren on Her Jewelry Collection and Her Latest Role With Gucci|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/hitchcock-heroine-tippi-hedren-her-jewelry-collection-her-latest-role-gucci-1115058|access-date=May 27, 2018|work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|date=May 25, 2018}}</ref>

In 1981, Hedren produced ''Roar'', an 11-year project that ended up costing $17 million and starred dozens of African lions. "This was probably one of the most dangerous films that Hollywood has ever seen", remarked the actress. "It's amazing no one was killed." During the production of ''Roar'', Hedren, her husband at the time, Noel Marshall, and daughter Melanie were attacked by lions;<ref name="DangerousMinds Article"/> [[Jan de Bont]], the director of photography, was scalped. Hedren later co-wrote ''Cats of Shambala'' (1985) about the experience. ''Roar'' made only $2 million worldwide. Hedren ended her marriage to Marshall a year later in 1982. The film directly led to the 1983 establishment of the nonprofit The Roar Foundation and Hedren's Shambala Preserve, located at the edge of the Mojave Desert in [[Acton, California]], between the Antelope Valley and the Santa Clarita Valley, {{convert|40|mi|km}} northeast of Los Angeles. Shambala houses some 70 animals. Hedren lives on the Shambala site and conducts monthly tours of the preserve for the public. In a 2015 interview with magazine ''[[Ability (magazine)|Ability]]'', Hedren emphasized that there is no human contact with the animals and that all of the cats are spayed and neutered, since they are being raised in captivity.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://abilitymagazine.com/Tippi-Hedren.html|title=Tippi Hedren — Birds, Tigers, Lions, Oh My!|date=June 1, 2015|website=ABILITYMagazine.com|publisher=ABILITY Magazine|access-date=August 4, 2015}}</ref> Hedren was the founding president of the [[American Sanctuary Association]], a post she still holds.

Hedren was instrumental in helping a desperate [[Kiều Chinh|Nguyen Thi Chinh]] to enter the US after the fall of the South Vietnam government in 1975. Hedren arranged for an air ticket and a visa for Chinh and then invited her to stay in her house.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Hastings |first1=Max |title=Vietnam |date=2018 |page=630}}</ref>
 
Hedren suffered from severe and persistent headaches for a long time, which rendered her unable to accept several projects, including a television series produced by and starring [[Betty White]]. After she got a titanium plate put in her neck, she improved and then agreed, with the blessing of her doctor, to take the part of a dying woman in the 2006 soap opera ''[[Fashion House]]''. While she was rehearsing a scene, a gallon of water fell from the ceiling onto her head. The headaches returned after the incident and persisted. Hedren filed a suit to receive recompense following her inability to work. Hedren's lawyer, Joseph Allen, made a mistake in his discussions with the defendants that allowed them to block him from filing suit. Hedren sued Allen for malpractice. In 2013, ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' reported that Hedren had been awarded a $1.5 million settlement, including $213,400 for past lost earnings and $440,308 for future lost earnings, against her former lawyer.<ref>{{cite news|last=Gardner|first=Eriq|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/tippi-hedren-gets-15-million-665991|title= Tippi Hedren Gets $1.5 Million After a Gallon of Water Falls onref name= Her Head|newspaper=The Hollywood Reporter|date=December 16, 2013|access-date=February 8, 2014}}</ref> Hedren was hurt by the report since she had not collected the award. She gave an interview to explain that her former lawyer does not have the money to pay her, and discussed how the report put her in a difficult situation since her foundation was in dire need of funds. She explained that she has to raise $75,000 monthly just to keep it going. "Chances are I won't ever even see the money, and that's what hurts so badly, that in all of this pain and suffering that publication ran with a swift and not researched story, which told people around the world who have been so gracious and thoughtful about sending donations, that I no longer needed them."<ref>{{cite news|last=Lightfoot Garrett|first=Tommy|date=December 20, 2013|title=EXCLUSIVE!
