"In this absorbing and surprising memoir, one of the biggest names of classic Hollywood—the star of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds and Marnie—tells her story, including never-before-revealed experiences on the set of some of the biggest cult films of all time.
For decades, Tippi Hedren’s luminous beauty radiated from the silver screen, enchanting moviegoers and cementing her position among Hollywood’s elite—beauty and star power that continue to endure. For too long Hedren’s story has been told by others through whispered gossip and tabloid headlines. Now, Hedren sets the record straight, recalling how a young and virtuous Lutheran girl from small-town Minnesota became a worldwide legend—as one of the most famous Hitchcock girls, as an unwavering animal activist, and as the matriarch of a powerful Hollywood dynasty that includes her movie star daughter Melanie Griffith, and rising star Dakota Johnson, her granddaughter.
For the first time, Hedren digs deep into her complicated relationship with the man who discovered her talent, director Alfred Hitchcock, the benefactor who would become a repulsive and controlling director who contractually controlled her every move. She speaks openly about the dark pain she endured working with him on their most famous collaborations, The Birds and Marnie, and finding the courage she needed to break away.
Hedren’s incandescent spirit shines through as she talks about working with the great Charlie Chaplin, sharing the screen with some of the most esteemed actors in Hollywood, her experiences on some of the most intriguing and troubling film sets—including filming Roar, one of the most dangerous movies ever made—and the struggles of being a single mother—balancing her dedication to her work and her devotion to her daughter—and her commitment to helping animals.
Tippi is a rare and fascinating look at a private woman’s remarkable life no celebrity aficionado can miss."
"Fearing for the safety of reckless Australian bush trekkers and his animal friends, the Magical Scarecrow without a name ventures into the great unknown."
"From world-renowned scientist Jane Goodall, as seen in the National Geographic documentary Jane, comes a provocative look into the ways we can positively impact the world by changing our eating habits.
"One of those rare, truly great books that can change the world." -John Robbins, author of The Food Revolution
The renowned scientist who fundamentally changed the way we view primates and our relationship with the animal kingdom now turns her attention to an incredibly important and deeply personal issue-taking a stand for a more sustainable world.
In Harvest for Hope, Jane Goodall sounds a clarion call to Western society, urging us to take a hard look at the food we produce and consume-and showing us how easy it is to create positive change. Offering her hopeful, but stirring vision, Goodall argues that each individual can make a difference. She provides simple strategies each of us can employ to foster a sustainable society.
Brilliant, empowering, and irrepressibly optimistic, Harvest for Hope is a crucial book for our age. If we follow Goodall's sound advice, we just might save ourselves before it's too late."
