Airing in October on HBO, THE GIRL is a behind-the-scenes, warts-and-all look at events surrounding the filming of ALFRED HITCHCOCK’S iconic thrillers THE BIRDS and MARNIE starring icy blonde bombshell TIPPI HEDREN. One of a string of fair-haired leading ladies that the corpulent filmmaker obsessed over and (allegedly) lusted after, HEDREN allows the film to detail how HITCHCOCK managed to be every bit as creepy in real life as his films were on screen. Directed by JULIAN JARROLD, the cast features SIENNA MILLER and TOBY JONES as the beleaguered actress and her unctuous director.

Attending last week’s Television Critics Association press conference to promote the upcoming film, HEDREN talked about the up-side of  being one of what is known to film buffs as the famous “Hitchcock Blondes”. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO)
