All through the early years of his career, M. Night Shyamalan was flattered with (and dogged by) comparisons to the great Alfred Hitchcock. The comparisons were reasonable, but never quite right.

Jamie Lee Curtis thinks the #MeToo movement would have "really upset" her mom, Janet Leigh. The 62-year-old actress believes the late 'Psycho' actress - who died in 2004 - would never have complained about any negative behaviour on set when she was younger because she was "just grateful" to work and simply accepted unwanted male behaviour was just part of the job. Jamie was in conversation with Melanie Griffith, whose mother Tippi Hedren starred in 'The Birds' and 'Marnie', for Interview magazine when she was asked how her mom found working with director Alfred Hitchcock.
