EARLY LIFE
Alfred Joseph Hitchcock
Born: 13 August 1899
Leytonstone, Essex, England
Parents: William Hitchcock and Emma Jane Hitchcock
the second son and the youngest of three children

Hitchcock was brought up as a Roman Catholic and was sent to Salesian College and the Jesuit Classic School St Ignatius' College in Stamford Hill, London.
He was fond of cinema and theater. He studied at the School of Engineering and navigation and also studied art history at the University of London.

THE BEGINNING OF HIS CAREER
Hitchcock became intrigued by photography and started working in film production, working as a title card designer for the London branch of what became Paramount Pictures.
In 1920, he received a full-time position designing the titles for silent movies at Islington Studios with its American owner Famous Players-Lasky and their British successor Gainsborough Pictures.

Hitchcock's first few films faced a string of bad luck. His first directing project came in 1922 with the aptly titled Number 13, filmed in London. The production was cancelled because of financial problems.

Hitchcock's luck changed with his first thriller, The Lodger.
Based on a story by Marie Belloc Lowndes and a play Who Is He? co-written by Belloc Lowndes, the film is about the hunt for a "Jack the Ripper" type of serial killer in London.

The first sound picture of Hitchcock's "Blackmail" (1929), based on the play by Charles Bennett was the beginning of his great career.

HOLLYWOOD
David O. Selznick signed Hitchcock to a seven-year contract beginning in March 1939, and the Hitchcocks moved to Hollywood.

The Selznick picture Rebecca (1940) was Hitchcock's first American movie, set in a Hollywood version of England's Cornwall and based on a novel by English novelist Daphne du Maurier. The film won the Academy Award for Best Picture of 1940. The statuette was given to Selznick, as the film's producer. Hitchcock was nominated for the Best Director award, his first of five such nominations, but did not win.

"Psycho" (1960), is almost certainly Hitchcock's best-known film, it was shot on a small budget, with the use of television technology since the major studios refused to so rigid material.

"The Birds" (1963) anticipated popular in the 70s theme clashes with the hostile person and inexplicable forces of nature.
Many viewers who have watched the film, then admitted that for a long time with suspicion looked at birds.

«I'm a writer and, therefore, automatically a suspicious character.»
«Disney has the best casting. If he doesn't like an actor he just tears him up.»
«Blondes make the best victims. They're like virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints.»
«I am a typed director. If I made Cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach.»
«Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.»
