Tippi Hedren | Born 1930

Tippi Hedren was once one of Hollywood’s most glamorous personalities. Initially, she forged a successful career in modeling throughout the 1950s, having graced the covers of Life and Glamour magazines. By the 1960s, she had transitioned her career into acting after being discovered by the legendary director Alfred Hitchcock. Despite her lack of experience at the time, she quickly mastered the art of acting. Among her most notable acting credits include The Birds, A Countess from Hong Kong, and Marnie.

Aside from modeling and acting, Hedren made a name as an activist for animal rights. She began to be active in this area in 1969 and eventually led to her raising awareness for wildlife. Today, at age 92, she still advocates for animal rights while occasionally appearing in some films and television shows. She has only one child, Melanie, who has achieved considerable success in acting. Her granddaughter, Dakota Johnson, has also achieved similar success.
