TIPPI HEDREN | 92

Tippi Hedren is an accomplished fashion model during her twenties, appearing on the front covers of Glamour and Life magazines, among others. Her introduction into acting came after she was discovered by a movie director after appearing in a television commercial in 1961. She received global recognition for her role in The Birds, for which she won a Golden Globe, as well as for the drama Marnie which was shot one year later in 1964. Hedren was mired in controversy when she lost money through her lawyer, but we believe the situation has been resolved and that the actress is now enjoying her life as she remains active in showbiz.

Aside from being an award-winning actress, Hedren is also known for her commitment to animal rescue. She started her own non-profit organization called the Roar Foundation after shooting two films in Africa and learned the situation of African lions. Harden also supports the Shambala Preserve, which is a wildlife habitat for tigers and lions.
