Famed movie actress Tippi Hedren - as part of the Turner Classic Movies film series, Road to Hollywood—will be coming to the Michigan Theater on Tuesday, April 9 at 7:30 p.m. Hedren will speak about the film and her career with TCM's Ben Mankiewicz after a screening of "Marnie," directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

The series is free to attend; get your tickets online at www.tcm.com/roadtohollywood starting at 10 a.m. Tuesday, March 26.

Starring Sean Connery and Hedren, "Marnie" (1964) tells the story of a man who marries a woman named Marnie - even though she is a habitual thief with psychological problems - and tries to help her confront and resolve her issues.

Road to Hollywood is TCM's classic film series, visiting 10 cities around the country. Ann Arbor is the 8th stop.

My one-on-one interview with Ms. Hedren fell through, unfortunately, but I'll attend the event and report on what she had to say to the crowd.

Jenn--There was that movie recently about the hell she went through filming The Birds--ask her about that!

Good suggestion! I watched that movie on TV as a kid, when I wasn't supposed to, and it freaked me out - especially that phone booth scene. "Marnie" has a disturbingly misogynist kink to it. That should provide plenty to talk about, too...

Looks like I'll probably get the chance to talk to Ms. Hedren a few hours before her appearance at the screening. As a longtime fan of Hitchcock movies, I've got some questions already in mind - but if anyone out there has any burning questions to add to my list, go ahead and suggest them here in the comment section!

Tickets were available a little early this morning. Two tix per person. I've got mine. See you there!

I'm guessing you can get as many tickets as you need via the site listed above, beginning Tuesday at 10 a.m.

is it one ticket per caller? I'd like to see if I could get two tickets and bring a friend.
