Have a read of this new interview Tippi Hedren gave to The Independent – she speaks about Sienna and The Girl briefly, and has nice things to say about Miss Miller!
Also check out the photo of Tippi at the source link – you might remember that Sienna was seen wearing a replica of this dress when snapped on set last month.
Tippi Hedren – Hitchcock’s caged bird
Tippi Hedren’s career was destroyed by the British director’s obsession. Yet there was an upside, she tells Geoffrey Macnab
To call Tippi Hedren’s attitude toward Alfred Hitchcock ambivalent would be to understate the case in the extreme. The star of The Birds (1963) and Marnie (1964) is due in Croydon next month to introduce an evening of clips and music from Hitch’s films.
She waxes nostalgic about the British director’s favourite composers one moment before describing, in chilling detail, how he sexually harassed her the next.It’s a story that has long since passed into movie lore. Hedren was the glacial blonde who was supposed to take over from Grace Kelly as Hitchcock’s favourite leading lady. He put her under contract and groomed her to be a star but, gradually, became ever more obsessive about her. The portly film-maker in his sixties wanted the actress to sleep with him.

The title comes from how Hitchcock referred to Hedren when – as she puts it – “I was not in favour”. The film promises to be harrowing in the extreme but has still been made with the 82-year-old Hedren’s full blessing. Sienna Miller, she says, came out to see her at Hedren’s Shambala Preserve wildlife sanctuary. The two women got on famously.

The pair hummed songs after sharing a kiss in a love scene of the 1950s drama The Girl, which is being filmed at locations around Cape Town.
Biondi’s modelling portfolio includes a cover shoot for Men’s Health magazine.
Said raven-haired Biondi: “The kissing scene with Sienna was amazing and, from a professional point of view, it was the best kiss ever.
“Sienna is a lovely, humble person, a regular girl and a wonderful actress. Working with her was real easy. We both love [UK band] The Smiths and ended up singing the songs together.”
An HBO and BBC co-production, The Girl chronicles filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock’s obsessive relationship with actress Tippi Hedren, played by Miller.
