Suzanne Pleshette 1937 - 2008

“Well these women are his fantasy women. I mean, the beautiful, blonde goddess who’s really warm underneath. I don’t know how the hell we ever got in movies-in his movies.”

I’d be hard pressed to choose my favourite Hitchcock film. My choice would vary from day to day, but I can guarantee that The Birds would be one of the contenders for the title. And one of the principal reasons for my affection for The Birds is the presence of Suzanne Pleshette, who played schoolteacher Annie Hayworth in the film.

Gentlemen prefer blondes. I prefer brunettes.

Rest in peace, Mrs. Pleshette.

    Thanks. Unfortunately, I hate it the more I look at it.

    One of my New Year’s resolutions was to have an illustration accompany each post, Roundtables excepted. Hopefully I’ll get better as the year goes on.
