TIPPI HEDREN | 90

Tippi Hedren’s name still makes noise until today. She is an icon in her own right. At 90 years old, Tippi is still as glamorous as ever. She started in the business as a fashion model. She was only in her 20s at the time, gracing every cover of posh magazines, like Glamour and Life, among others. In 1952, Tippi Hedren met and married the 18-year-old future advertising executive, Peter Griffith.

They were blessed with a child, Melanie Griffith, who is also an actress, on August 9, 1957. After a movie director discovered her, she appeared in a successful television commercial in 1961. She then rose to stardom when she did Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic film The Birds, for which she received a Golden Globe credit. Tippi has yet to announce her official retirement, but she truly deserves a rest after her contributions and success in the industry.
