Tippi Hedren / Shambala

BACKSTORY (January 19, 1930—Present): I met actress Tippi Hedren for the first time in October 1995 at her sanctuary for big cats and other animals, Shambala. She was just as gracious as could be, and full of passion for saving the animals who had been abused by circuses and the idiots who thought that they would make great house pets...and found out otherwise. Hedren is also known for her starring roles in two Alfred Hitchcock movies, "The Birds" (1963) and my very favorite, "Marnie" (1964).
