In her new memoir, actress Tippi Hedren alleges that Alfred Hitchcock sexually assaulted her on the sets of some of their films.
In her book, Tippi, Hedren claims that Hitchcock’s obsession with her culminated in sexual assault.
The New York Post is reporting from excerpts of the book, which details Hitchcock’s alleged shift from starmaker to harasser-according to Hedren, he watched her every move, limited her contact with the other actors, and had her handwriting analyzed.
Things got worse on the set of Marnie, as Hedren says the director installed a door that led directly from his office to her dressing room.
On one occasion, Hedren says Hitchcock “Put his hands on me. It was sexual, it was perverse. The harder I fought him, the more aggressive he became.”
Hedren says she didn’t initially go public with any accusations because “Sexual harassment and stalking were terms that didn’t exist” back when she was working with Hitchcock.
