In this absorbing and surprising memoir, one of the biggest names of classic Hollywoodthe star of Alfred Hitchcocks The Birds and Marnietells her story, including never-before-revealed experiences on the set of some of the biggest cult films of all time . . . now with a foreword by Melanie Griffith

For decades, Tippi Hedrens luminous beauty radiated from the silver screen, enchanting moviegoers and cementing her position among Hollywoods elitebeauty and star power that continue to endure. For too long Hedrens story has been told by others through whispered gossip and tabloid headlines. Now, Hedren sets the record straight, recalling how a young and virtuous Lutheran girl from small-town Minnesota became a worldwide legendas one of the most famous Hitchcock girls, as an unwavering animal activist, and as the matriarch of a powerful Hollywood dynasty that includes her movie star daughter Melanie Griffith, and rising star Dakota Johnson, her granddaughter.

She speaks openly about the dark pain she endured working with him on their most famous collaborations, The Birds and Marnie, and finding the courage she needed to break away.

Hedrens incandescent spirit shines through as she talks about working with the great Charlie Chaplin, sharing the screen with some of the most esteemed actors in Hollywood, her experiences on some of the most intriguing and troubling film setsincluding filming Roar, one of the most dangerous movies ever madeand the struggles of being a single motherbalancing her dedication to her work and her devotion to her daughterand her commitment to helping animals.
