This week, I've seen Tippie Hedren in two Alfred Hitchcock films: "The Birds" (1963) and "Marnie" (1964). 

Hedren has very much of a "style," in that she plays a matronly young woman in these movies, seeming older than her youth and beauty would imply. There's something about her very un-Audrey Hepburn-like in that she doesn't radiate vigor, or steal scenes by her mere presence. 

Honestly, I don't love her acting, either, although she got through both of these roles without any catastrophic flaws.

Is anyone else here a Hedren fan? And if so, what did you like that you saw her in?
