Happy 96th Birthday, Tippi Hedren! An icon of classical Hollywood elegance and quiet intensity. Forever unforgettable as Melanie Daniels in The Birds (1963) and Marnie Edgar in Marnie (1964), Hedren brought to Hitchcock’s cinema a rare combination of composure, vulnerability, and inner resolve. Her screen presence reshaped the image of the modern heroine, cool on the surface, turbulent beneath. Wishing a joyful birthday to a living legend! | History of Cinema
