Tippi Hedren, Born in 1930 – The Birds

Who says that a person must choose just one profession and stick with it? Tippi Hedren is a perfect example to show that a woman can do anything she wants, and be great at it as well! What is even more interesting is the fact that she accomplished such great things in an era very different from ours as opportunities were visibly limited.

The icon started as a pin-up who graced the covers of countless fashion magazines like ‘Glamor’ and ‘Life.’ Her success as a fashion model led her to the silver screen, and even dedicated time off her busy schedule to serve as an animal rights activist.
