Re: [Avid-L2] Dede Allen interview on Fresh Air tomorrow

On a similar note, you might enjoy hearing today's NPR interview with
Tippi Hedron (still kickin) star of "The Birds".

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=126241831

She comments on being thrust into the feature film world by Hitchcock,
the master manipulator. While grooming her to be his next "Grace
Kelly", he took total advantage of her.

At one point, after having live ravens hurled at her for 5 days, she had
a nervous breakdown on set. I'll never look at those scenes of her in
the attic the same way again.

Unlike Dede, Tippi's career was derailed when she dared to challenge
Hitchcock's authority.
