Alfred Joseph Hitchcock was born in Leytonstone, Essex, England. He was
the son of Emma Jane (Whelan; 1863 - 1942) and East End greengrocer
William Hitchcock (1862 - 1914). His parents were both of half English
and half Irish ancestry. He had two older siblings, William Hitchcock
(born 1890) and Eileen Hitchcock (born 1892). Raised as a strict
Catholic and attending Saint Ignatius College, a school run by Jesuits,
Hitch had very much of a regular upbringing. His first job outside of
the family business was in 1915 as an estimator for the Henley
Telegraph and Cable Company. His interest in movies began at around
this time, frequently visiting the cinema and reading US trade
journals.
Hitchcock entering the film industry in 1919 as a title card designer.
It was there that he met Alma Reville, though they never
really spoke to each other. It was only after the director for Always Tell Your Wife (1923)
fell ill and Hitchcock was named director to complete the film that he
and Reville began to collaborate. Hitchcock had his first real crack at
directing a film, start to finish, in 1923 when he was hired to direct
the film Number 13 (1922), though the
production wasn't completed due to the studio's closure (he later remade it as a sound film). Hitchcock
didn't give up then. He directed
The Pleasure Garden (1925), a
British/German production, which was very popular. Hitchcock made his
first trademark film in 1927,
The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927)
. In the same year, on the 2nd of December, Hitchcock married Alma
Reville. They had one child,
Patricia Hitchcock who was born on July 7th, 1928. His success followed when he made a number of films in Britain such as The Lady Vanishes (1938)
and Jamaica Inn (1939), some of which
also gained him fame in the USA.
In 1940, the Hitchcock family moved to Hollywood, where the producer
David O. Selznick had hired him to direct an adaptation of 'Daphne du Maurier''s Rebecca (1940).
After Saboteur (1942), as his fame as a director grew, film companies began
to refer to his films as 'Alfred Hitchcock's', for example
Alfred Hitcock's Psycho (1960), Alfred Hitchcock's
Family Plot (1976), Alfred
Hitchcock's Frenzy (1972).
Hitchcock was a master of pure cinema who almost never failed to reconcile aesthetics with the demands of the box-office.
During the
making of Frenzy (1972), Hitchcock's wife
Alma suffered a paralyzing stroke which made her unable to walk very
well. On March 7, 1979, Hitchcock was awarded the AFI Life
Achievement Award, where he said: "I beg permission
to mention by name only four people who have given me the most
affection, appreciation, and encouragement, and constant collaboration.
The first of the four is a film editor, the second is a scriptwriter,
the third is the mother of my daughter Pat, and the fourth is as fine a
cook as ever performed miracles in a domestic kitchen and their names
are Alma Reville." By this time, he was ill with angina and his
kidneys had already started to fail. He had started to write a screenplay
with Ernest Lehman called The Short Night but he fired Lehman and
hired young writer David Freeman to rewrite the script. Due to
Hitchcock's failing health the film was never made, but Freeman
published the script after Hitchcock's death. In late 1979, Hitchcock
was knighted, making him Sir Alfred Hitchcock. On the 29th April 1980,
9:17AM, he died peacefully in his sleep due to renal failure. His
funeral was held in the Church of Good Shepherd in Beverly Hills.
Father Thomas Sullivan led the service with over 600 people attended
the service, among them were
Mel Brooks (director of
High Anxiety (1977), a comedy
tribute to Hitchcock and his films),
Louis Jourdan,
Karl Malden,
Tippi Hedren,
Janet Leigh and

- Neville Brand joined the Illinois National Guard in 1939, bent on a career in the
military. His National Guard unit was activated into federal service shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. It was while he was in the army that he made his acting
debut, in Army training films, and this experience apparently changed
the direction of his life. Once a civilian again, he used his GI Bill
education assistance to study drama with the American Theater Wing and
then appeared in several Broadway plays. His film debut was in
Port of New York (1949). Among
his earliest films was the Oscar-winning
Stalag 17 (1953). His heavy features
and gravelly voice made Brand a natural tough guy (and he wasn't just a
"movie" tough guy--he was among the most highly decorated American
soldiers in World War II, fighting in the European Theater against the
Germans). "With this kisser, I knew early in the game I wasn't going to
make the world forget Clark Gable,"
he once told a reporter. He played Al Capone
in
The George Raft Story (1961),
The Scarface Mob (1959),
and TV's
The Untouchables (1959).
Among his other memorable roles are the sympathetic guard in
Birdman of Alcatraz (1962)
and the representative of rioting convicts in
Riot in Cell Block 11 (1954).
Perhaps his best-known role was that of the soft-hearted, loud-mouthed,
none-too-bright but very effective Texas Ranger Reese Bennett of
Backtrack! (1969),
Three Guns for Texas (1968),
and TV's Laredo (1965). - Director
