Tippi Hedren’s Elegant Pre-Hollywood Photography by Genevieve Naylor

Before Tippi Hedren became widely recognized as the iconic Hitchcock blonde, she enjoyed a thriving modeling career in New York City during the 1950s. In 1954, she collaborated with Genevieve Naylor, a pioneering female photojournalist and fashion photographer, resulting in a series of elegant and memorable images. The shoot captured Hedren in various settings, including the famous Pennsylvania Station, where she epitomized the sophisticated city traveler with a classic 1950s suit. Other notable images include a candid shot of Hedren feeding a parrot, demonstrating her natural grace long before working with birds on Hitchcock's film sets. Behind-the-scenes moments were also captured, such as Hedren applying makeup in Naylor’s New York studio, providing a rare glimpse into the daily life of a top model of the era. The collection features both day dresses and evening wear frequently published in prominent magazines like Glamour and McCall’s. Genevieve Naylor, who had been a wartime photographer in Brazil, later freelanced for major publications including Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, and even served as Eleanor Roosevelt’s personal photographer. This photographic series not only highlights Hedren’s early career but also showcases Naylor’s exceptional talent and influence in fashion photography during the 1950s.

The Trouble with Harry’s grammar

Alfred Hitchcock’s comedy-thriller The Trouble with Harry (1955), amidst all its talk of murder and romance, has a fun little exchange of sociolinguistic interest between John Forsythe (‘Sam Marlowe’) and Edmund Gwenn (‘Capt. Albert Wiles’):

Marlowe’s correction is notable for being relatively polite. Those who correct others’ speech uninvited often do so in a rude and judgemental way. Marlowe corrects Wiles gently and off-handedly, as though automatically correcting a child. Indeed, Wiles doesn’t even notice and reacts as if Marlowe had merely echoed him. For good measure he adds another nonstandard usage: past tense say for said.

That Miles doesn’t pick up on the prescriptive nudge also chimes with what happens when children have their speech corrected – they tend to repeat what they said rather than immediately adopt the ‘proper’ form. Abby Kaplan, in her excellent book about language myths, Women Talk More than Men, reviews the research and concludes:

Some parents tend to repeat or expand on their children’s utterances, but it is unclear whether children actually use this kind of feedback to correct their own speech. Since there are societies in which this kind of interaction is rare, it is unlikely that repetitions and expansions are absolutely necessary for language acquisition.

Of course, Captain Wiles has already fully acquired his language: it’s just that the variety or dialect he uses differs in some respects from standardized English, prompting Marlowe’s useless intervention.

The script for The Trouble with Harry was written by John Michael Hayes. I don’t know if the same exchange appears in the source novel by Jack Trevor Story, but Hitchcock obviously liked it. He featured another linguistic allusion, to Alfred Korzybski and his General Semantics, in The Birds:

Hitchcock’s interest in usage also manifests in a letter he wrote to Ernest Lehman, writer of North by Northwest, in which he wondered, in a parenthetical aside, if his use of while should be whilst. I covered the whilst, amongst, amidst issue in a previous post.

Handcuffs, dog bites and avian warfare: how personal grudges sullied Alfred Hitchcock’s reputation

The director liked to create tension on-set to draw out stronger performances. But have stories about his psychological tricks been inflated in the retelling?

Alfred Hitchcock – „Die Vögel“ (1962)

Die Natur schlägt zurück. Ich glaube, auf den Konsens können wir uns irgendwie einigen. So lautet auch die bequeme Lesart dieses Films von Alfred Hitchcock. Das ist ein Horror, als würden wir hier in 119 Minuten dem ökologischen Gleichgewicht beim Umkippen zusehen können. Doch für mich ist diese Geschichte viel weniger eine Parabel als eine echte Zumutung. Und weil es vermutlich immer noch Menschen gibt, die diesen Film noch nicht gesehen haben, schreibe ich mir das hier nochmal von der Seele. (ARTE, Wh.)

Die Vögel - Film in voller Länge | ARTE

Was mit einem Streich beginnt, endet mit mörderischen Angriffen von Vögeln auf die Menschen in Bodega Bay. Hitchcocks Horrorfilm wurde 1963 in Cannes uraufgeführt. Die abstrakte Perspektive der apokalyptischen Erzählung ist ein Ausnahmefall in seinem filmischen Schaffen. Bemerkenswert sind das einzigartige Sounddesign neben weiteren Spezialeffekten.
