THE DARK SIDE: HitchcockLONDON: He was the name behind many successful films, but behind the scenes Alfred Hitchcock was a man who took a perverted pleasure in torturing his female stars - physically and emotionally.
According to Alfred Hitchcock and his leading ladies, Hitchcock lusted after his leading ladies and cruelty he showed them ruined his career.
During filming of The Birds, Hitchcock had banned the crew from talking to Tippi, then in her 30s. Tippi did her best to discourage Hitchock���s advances but, when the pair were reunited for ���Marnie���, the director���s obsession grew worse.
Despite the warning signs, even Tippi wasn't prepared for what he did next. "He stared at me and simply said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, that from this time on, he expected me to make myself sexually available and accessible to him - however and whenever and wherever he wanted," the Daily Express quoted Tippi, as saying.
"That was the moment, after almost three years of trying to cope, when I finally had enough - that was the limit, that was the end," she recalls.
