ALFRED HITCHCOCK'S FETISH ACTRESS DAZZLES AT 88

Tippi Hendren may be 88-years-old, but she still displays the same delicate bred-in-the-bone beauty that caught the eye of the mythical British director Alfred Hitchcock and made her an icon.

She passed on that same radiant presence to her only daughter, actress Melanie Griffith, and to her granddaughter Dakota.

A STAR WAS BORN

In the 60's Alfred Hitchcock saw her in a commercial and had her tracked down. He had her do a screen test, and then paid for her to be groomed, and have acting lessons. He wanted her to be his greatest star.

THE BEGINNING OF A SUCCESSFUL CAREER

Hendren would do a second Hitchcock movie- "Marnie" - opposite 60s heartthrob Sean Connery. In the movie, a tense psychological thriller, Hendren played a disturbed criminal to critical acclaim. During the movie, Hitchcock made advances to her which she rejected, and was told that her career was over.

BEING A MOTHER AND PASSING ON HER LEGACY

Hendren is the mother of famous actress Melanie Griffith, who inherited her delicately feminine presence. Griffith was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in "Working Girl" opposite Sigourney Weaver and Harrison Ford.

Dakota is following in their footsteps, first starring in "50 Shades of Gray," in which she took the main role, and now she is following in her grandmother's footsteps and venturing into horror with "Suspiria."

Hendren is the matriarch of a clan of formidable and beautiful women well worth watching.
