ON FILM: Tippi Hedren and "Marnie"

In a conversation recorded August 10, 2012, at the Plaza Classic Film Festival, actress Tippi Hedren reflects on the making of Alfred Hitchcock's 1964 thriller, "Marnie."  Hedren was chosen over Grace Kelly to play the  lead on the film, and Hitchcock's unnatural obsession with Hedren eventually led to her break with the director, who said he would ruin her if she broke her contract with him.  Aired March 9, 2013.
