He was very possessive and controlling with his leading females. They all were gorgeous blonde women. He especially treated Tippi Herden horrible throughout the film, The Birds. She claims he was a very abusive and controlling man. She wanted out of her contract, but he would say to her that he is going to ruin her career if she did. In an astonishing story she tells how he made her film in close quarters with real birds. “ In one horrific sequence, the filmmaker withholds from Hedren that real birds, not mechanical ones, will be used in a scene in which she 'll be attacked at close quarters. Then he subjects her to five days of shooting, take after take, leaving her injured and distraught” (Stephens 1). She still has scars from that horrific week today on her face. But of course, this is only a sided agreement and Alfred Hitchcock can 't defend himself
