Tippi Hedren comes to Torrance
Known to many as the lady who was chased by birds in Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds," actress Tippi Hedren is also a lifelong conservationist and big-cat rescuer.
I know this because I met her once a few years ago when she brought a sick tiger to a vet in Lawndale.
She called me a few days later to thank me for the article I wrote, something I crowed all over
the office about for days. (Get it? Crowed?)
Well, Tippi (I can call her that) will be in Torrance on Monday to meet with the South Bay Bird Society.
The event will take place at7:30 p.m. Monday at the Salvation Army, 4223 Emerald, Streeet.

About the Bloggers
Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
