#4 I read Rantburg because it's the only place on the Internet where I can get real news and both sides of the story. Oh, and for the snark. Definitely for the snark! The ladies are just icing on the cake.

#6 Yes, JohnQC, Tippi Hedren was in The Birds and she was looking really hot too. It was kind of a stupid movie but the scenery was very nice and Tippi was the most outstanding feature.

#7 Stupid movie was made stupid. The book was a clarion call for the west to unite against Commie Rattery.

#8 From Wikipedia:

Hedren was told mechanical birds would be used for the terrifying and brutal attic scene. Instead, live birds were hurled at her by prop men for a week. When one nearly gouged her eye she became hysterical, collapsed and spent a week haunted by "nightmares filled with flapping birds". After visiting the set Cary Grant praised her as "one very brave lady".

Doesn't it seem a bit mindless for a major Hollywood production to be hurling birds at a beautiful movie star's face?

Maybe she was (is?) a conservative?
