Tippi Hedren was one of the most popular faces of the 1960s in the film industry. But her popularity increased when she became Alfred Hitchcock's muse in the remembered horror film The Birds, released in 1963. The actress starred in the film alongside actor Rod Taylor and thanks to this performance she won her first Globe. Gold.
However, his professional career was not the only thing that made people talk at that time despite leading a very discreet life. Nathalie Hedren Kay, better known as Tippi Hedren, met her first husband, Peter Griffith, at a fashion show in New York City. A relationship that lasted only five years and as a result of which her first daughter, the well-known actress Melanie Griffith, was born.
After a professional career full of lights and shadows, the actress just turned 94 this past January. But the start of the year for Tippi Hedren herself and her family is being more complicated than they expected. And according to journalist Gustavo Egusquiza to El Español's Magas magazine, Antonio Banderas' former mother-in-law has been suffering from dementia for a few months.
The journalist contacted the representative of the veteran actress to conduct an interview for Forbes Women magazine and it was then that the representative himself confirmed the news. ''Her agent confirmed to me that the actress was not available to do interviews because she currently suffers from dementia and she is not able to remember her career. "It is a difficult situation for her and her family and devastating news for her fans around the world," she declared.
The news has fully impacted all the interpreter's followers, but especially her daughter Melanie Griffith, who this past January 19 published a carousel of images of her mother on her social networks on the occasion of her 94th birthday. ''Yesterday mom turned 94 years old!! She's always ready for a party! Happy birthday mom ♥️ Tippi,'' Antonio Banderas' ex-wife wrote.
