Alfred Hitchcock
- Hitchcock thrilled audiences during his long, distinguished career as a director. Often referred to as the 'Master of Suspense' very few have been able to match his legacy of producing over 60 films including Dial M for Murder (1954), Vertigo (1958), Psycho (1960) and The Birds (1963). As his signature, Hitchcock made a cameo appearance in all his Hollywood movies
- Producer David O. Selznick lured Hitchcock to move to Hollywood from Britain in 1939 for its incomparable technical facilities and studios resources
- One of his earliest memories is being locked in a cell at the request of his father. He was only in there for a few minutes but it was enough to give him a lifelong fear of the police and influence the themes found in his films
Born Alfred Joseph Hitchcock on August 13, 1899 in London, England
Died April 29, 1980 in Los Angeles, CA

Hitchcock, whose career spanned more than 50 years and included such horror and suspense film classics as "Psycho," "Spellbound," "North by Northwest," "The 39 Steps," and "The Man Who Knew Too Much," had been ill for more than a year with arthritis and kidney disease. His condition deteriorated last weekend, and he died at 9:17 a.m. Tuesday.
Hitchcock was reportedly working on a script for his 54th movie for which shooting was to begin this summer in his native England. His last film, "Family Plot," was released in 1976.
SIR ALFRED (he was knighted last December by Queen Elizabeth) began his career as a 19-year-old designer with a London film company in 1919 and by the mid-1930s was regarded as one of the best film directors in Europe. He came to the U.S. to work for David O. Selznick in 1939, and his first of 32 American films "Rebecca" - won the 1940 Academy Award for best movie.
Hitchcock himself never won an Oscar, though he was nominated as best director four times - for "Rebecca," "Lifeboat" (1944), "Spellbound" (1945) and "Rear Window" (1954).
