This day in history: The Master of Suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, died on this day in 1980. He directed over 50 feature films over six decades, films such as Psycho, The Birds, Rear Window, Dial M for Murder etc. Hitchcock was inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960, but he never won an Oscar. Did you know: One of his favorite movies was the 1977 Burt Reynolds movie Smokey and the Bandit. He was afraid of the police, and fried eggs. Alfred Hitchcock liked using blonde actresses in his movies: “Blondes make the best victims. They’re like virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints.”
