Tippi Hedren – 9Now 92

Originally a fashion model, Tippi did not plan to enter the film industry until she was approached by Alfred Hitchcock. She started acting in the ’60s, appearing in films such as Marnie and The Birds. Her career enabled her to amass around $20 million fortune.

Her personal life, however, is not all sunshine and blue skies. Hedren suffered from severe headaches, which affected her ability to work and only after she had a titanium plate placed in her neck, she slowly came back to acting. Tippi was married three times and engaged once. Today, she spends her time petitioning for animal rights.
