(FILES) This file photo taken on May 4, 2011 shows actress Tippi Hedren at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Tribute to Sophia Loren, in Beverly Hills, California. American actress Tippi Hedren alleges in a new autobiography that Alfred Hitchcock sexually assaulted and intimidated her while they were working together in the 1960s, according to reports. Hedren has accused the director of sexual harassment on a number of previous occasions, notably in interviews around the 2012 release of the HBO movie "The Girl," which depicts his alleged obsession with her. But the publication of "Tippi: A Memoir" on November 1, 2016 will mark the first time she has written about her treatment herself. / AFP PHOTO / VALERIE MACON
