Meet Tippi Hedren, legendary American actress and animal activist.
Acting wasn’t her first line of work. Hedren started out as a successful fashion model who appeared in magazines while in her 20s. In 1961, her appearance in a television commercial caught the eye of British film director and producer, Alfred Hitchcock.
“I was having a wonderful time doing television commercials, Hedren says. “I never ever dreamed that I would become an actress. Never. I didn’t see myself as an actress. It just happened,” she says.
