Tippi Hedren: Hollywood Legend Turns 95
Grace, class, and an independent spirit define Tippi Hedren. Hollywood’s screen legend has captivated audiences for decades. But behind her fame lies a story of struggle, sacrifice, and courage that few fully understand.
A Star Is Born
Born Nathalie Kay on January 19, 1930, in New Ulm, Minnesota, Tippi — as her father nicknamed her — showed early flair for modeling. With Swedish, German, and Norwegian roots, she loved department store fashion shows. By the 1950s, she graced magazine covers including Life and Glamour.
Despite her modeling success, acting was uncharted territory. In October 1961, an agent called with a mysterious offer. Alfred Hitchcock wanted her to sign a seven-year contract.
“I didn’t know whether to laugh, cry, or run,” Tippi recalled. She thought she might appear in Alfred Hitchcock Presents, but Hitchcock had bigger plans.
