The Girl

Acclaimed director Alfred Hitchcock's knack for crafting psychological thrillers led him to cast Tippi Hedren, an unknown fashion model, in his 1963 film, The Birds. Brought to Universal Studios by Hitchcock's visionary instincts, the actress dove headfirst into a challenging and nerve-wracking production, as her character navigated through a series of terrifying encounters with birds. However, what Hedren didn't anticipate was that the most unsettling aspect of this experience would come from none other than the director himself—and the complex dynamics that unfolded behind the scenes during the making of this iconic film.
