hitchcock was a perv (join the club)

oh, you didn't know hitchcock was a perv?

there's a new hitchcock biography out called “Spellbound by Beauty” by Donald Spoto and it "surveys Alfred Hitchcock’s fraught relations with those ice-blond leading ladies he favored" (thank you ny times book review)

there is one especially weird thing w/ tippi hedren from the birds, where it says:

about Hitchcock’s attempt to force her into making herself sexually available to him, threatening to ruin her career if she would not oblige. (She didn’t.)

I mean, we all knew hitchcock was a freak! but a perv on top of that? hayyyyy

o hai there S&M hitchcock
