Hollywood Actors That Don't Get Cast Anymore

Tippi Hedren

Hedren began as a fashion model but was quickly picked up by Alfred Hitchcock to star in two of his films, The Birds, and Marnie. Hitchcock made numerous sexual advances on Hedren, which were never reciprocated. Hitchcock was furious about Hedren turning him down, and he promised her that she would never work in Hollywood ever again. Hitchcock froze her contract for two years until he eventually sold it. Hedren returned to her career many years after the incident, but the whole experience soured her idea of Hollywood, and she dropped acting to campaign for animal rights.
