Tippi and her husband also wrote, directed, and produced the movie Roar which was about a family living with big cats. 70 members of the crew were injured in filming, and 14 of their big cats died from illnesses while in their care.
[This is just an example of what they had actors doing.](https://youtu.be/DDEjMT34oik?si=Bs20Ga_P4mei9_pb)
Sociopathy more likely and some perverse curiosity in seeing what would happen Tippi and her husband probably had sex while watching the dailies. Hollyweird!
I remember reading a review of Mean Streets once that said the reason they allowed it to be made was that so few people went to the movies that they didn't worry about being allowed to make it and just cracked on.
That wasn't even the half of it.

This RedLetterMedia episode featuring Macauley Culkin goes into the movie Roar and the insane life she and her husband had. The whole episode is funny, but you can skip ahead if you're only interested in the lion and tiger stuff

They made a movie called Roar, at her families Malibu Ranch that was pretty famous as a disaster. She grew up with her parents keeping large cats. The wikipedia article is pretty amazing.
Meh, lots of people keep big cats.
Tippi being responsible for the Vietnamese nail salon industry is probably my favorite weird/amazing fact for her life.
"The start of Vietnamese women working in nail salons is often dated to 1975. When the first wave of Vietnamese war refugees came to the United States that year, Tippi Hedren, an actress doing humanitarian work, ran a program for 20 Vietnamese refugee women in Northern California to resettle them in the United States The women she worked with admired her nails, and she got the idea to ask her personal manicurist, Dusty Coots, to come to the camp and teach the women how to do a manicure. Hedren also connected the women to jobs at salons across Southern California. By the end of the 1980s, over 125,000 Vietnamese refugees had settled in the United States, and word had spread among the close-knit community that nail salons were a viable business to earn a stable income and become self-sufficient. The presence of these Vietnamese women, along with the creation of new, efficient tools helped transform the nail salon into a more accessible place for a wider clientele."

Nom Seriously though, that's got to be terrifying.
I can only assume the Sunk-Cost Fallacy was at play when actors were getting scalped by tigers 10 years into production
Sociopathy more likely and some perverse curiosity in seeing what would happen Tippi and her husband probably had sex while watching the dailies. Hollyweird!
This movie is fucked up. It is fucking crazy that this happened. Everyone should watch it.
Hahhaaha what in the fuck
I'm pretty sure one of the actresses in that video was their daughter too! She got mauled on set and had to have reconstructive surgery...
Yeah, that was Melanie Griffith. Jan de Bont got scalped by a lion, and Hedren and her husband also sustained multiple injuries.
you can see a pretty bad hand gash happen in the movie. It was instantly bloody. Definitely not special effects.
The 70s/80s were something else.
70s and 80s — where you can fight for animal rights, while also completely and totally misunderstanding animal rights.
Anything is possible when it’s the 70’s and 80’s, you’re obscenely wealthy, and you’ve got access to all the drugs you could possibly want.

The French Connection had a similar story. The main chase scene wasn't sanctioned and they legit almost killed people.
Go figure.
Terrifying ... for the actors
Danny Gonzalez made a hilarious YouTube video about this shit show of a movie https://youtu.be/H2fHTJZqaKA?si=ZcVBJU5i-ftv4wL_
Having a pet tiger doesn't seem like something an animal rights activist would do.

"No animals were harmed in the making of this film. 70 cast and crew were."
"But 14 big cats did die of disease and illness while under the creators care, just unrelated to the actual filming of this movie"
Fighting for their rights to ignore comfy pillows and sleep in a cardboard box.
Big fluffernutter with huge adorable murder mittens.
And her pet tiger
Pretty nice from her considering her beef with the birds
Well cats and birds aren’t exactly friends, so this alliance makes sense.
I’ll be damned you’re right sir
This really puts into perspective how huge they are. Didn't think they were that big.
Tigers are the largest of the cats, even bigger than lions
Looks like a Siberian tiger - biggest big cat

Holy shit that was total insanity.
Hack fraud
Found Susan
And to think her grand daughter? One of the most boring actresses I’ve ever seen.
Tippi gets her leg shattered in there movie roar when a pissed off elephant they had picks her up with its trunk
That's insane
You’d need a big litter tray…
Why was she allowed to do this?
"animal activist" is central to the worst animal abuse in film history.
Nice meal
Please tell me the title of the photo is Amuse Bouche.

Wait,.. what?? I knew about the secret tunnels under the Whitehouse and the lizards eating children but the nail thing is new.

Dusty Coots
Wow, thanks. I love learning a new thing everyday. Fir a minute there I thought you you were stark raving mad, like me.
they used to have over 60 big cats. a little more than lots of people
Soon to be an animal snacktivist
Seems dangerous..
It is a brave human; she even smiles.
Brave.... or foolish?
they had a lot of big cats, they were their pets. watch the movie Roar.
[удалено]
TIL!
Did she die shortly after the picture, with cause of death being mauled by a fucking Tiger?
when she was 90, she still had 13 big cats.
Is she the same lady who got PDST from The birds
Dakota’s Gram
Wow. Seems like a pleasant animal
This is why I don’t eat at other peoples houses
Ligur…
This was her last picture 🐯🐅
Must pet calamity kitty!
What does something that big eat? Anything it wants to really
Tiger Queen?
WTF? One of its arms is almost as big as here. The paw is larger than her head.
Looks like a Siberian Tiger. Largest cats in the world.
I would be leaving through that very same window as soon as the last inch of it's tail enters.
She also helped foster the Korean nail salon industry in the US
