About Tippi Hedren:
Golden Globe winner, Tippi Hedren just celebrated her 80th birthday, she has never been out of work since Hitchcock placed her under contract for THE BIRDS.
She received the Best Actress Award from the Independent Film Festival for "Tea With Grandma" and was up for EMMY Consideration for both 4400 and most recently her role of Karen Rosenthal in CSI.
Tippi just received a lifetime achievement award for her work from Genesis this weekend that was presented by her daughter, Melanie Griffith, and son-in-law, Antonio Banderas. She is the founder and president of Shambala.
She is also scheduled to appear again before Congress for the Bill to oppose domestic breeding of exotic felines for personal possession.
Not only will this save lives, but we hope it will cut down the growing rate of canned hunts and is currently appearing co-authoring another Bill set to go before Congress.
Tippi was also inducted into the Smithsonian Institutes first permanent Entertainment History Exhibit in 2009 as a Legendary Lady of Stage and Screen.
