According to the star, he who died in 1980 mocked Hedren, who was also an actress. “Hitchcock ruined her career because she didn't want to sleep with him and he terrorized her. He was never held accountable, “Johnson said.
She called it unacceptable that people use their power to humiliate those who are more vulnerable. “It's very difficult to talk about it because she is my grandmother. You would not want someone to exploit your grandmother, “- said the actress.
In 2016, it was reported that Tippy Hedren in her memoirs accused Alfred Hitchcock of sexual harassment. In her autobiography, the artist describes her relationship with the director in the mid-60s during the filming of Marnie, when, according to her, Hitchcock suddenly grabbed her and began to touch her. “It was sexual harassment, perverse and ugly, and I was more shocked than ever,” said the actress. She added that the filmmaker also threatened to ruin her career if she cut contact with him.
After Marnie, the actress refused to continue working with the director and practically stopped acting.
