Actors Who Cut Off Mentors Who Helped Launch Their Careers

Alfred Hitchcock discovered actress Tippi Hedren and gave her the starring role in ‘The Birds,’ effectively launching her career. However, their working relationship soon became unhealthy due to Hitchcock’s controlling behavior and alleged obsession with her. After filming ‘Marnie,’ Hedren decided she couldn’t work with him anymore. This created a difficult situation because Hitchcock owned her contract and wouldn’t allow her to pursue other acting opportunities.
