Tippi Hedren is celebrating her 96th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress-singer Tippi Hedren (The Birds, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 96th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.
