'''Nathalie Kay 'Tippi' Hedren''' (born [[January 19]], [[1930]])<ref>There is some dispute over Hedren's year of birth, sometimes given as 1928, 1930, 1931, or 1935</ref><ref>[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=1930usfedcen&so=2&gsfn=Nathalie&gsln=Hedren&sx=&year=&yearend=&gskw=&gsco=2%2cUnited+States&gspl=26%2cMinnesota&prox=0&sbo=0&rank=0&db=&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-c Nathalie Hedren was recorded as a newborn in the 1930 Federal Census] </ref><ref>http://web9.wireimage.com/GalleryListing.asp?navtyp=CLB&str=4357&styp=clbi&sfld=&nm=Tippi+Hedren&nbc1=1&sortval=8a Hedren also celebrated her 75th birthday in January 2005]</ref> is an [[United States|American]] actress with a career spanning six decades. She is perhaps best known for her role as Melanie Daniels in [[Alfred Hitchcock]]'s ''[[The Birds (film)|The Birds]]'', and her extensive efforts in animal rescue at [[Shambala Preserve]], an 80-acre wildlife habitat which she founded in 1983. Hedren is the mother of actress [[Melanie Griffith]], and they share credits on six films, notably ''[[Pacific Heights (1990 film)|Pacific Heights]]'' (1990).
'''Terry Gene Bollea''' (born August 11, 1953)<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.aolcdn.com/tmz_documents/1207_hogan_3_wm.pdf|title=Hulk Hogan Divorce Papers|accessdate=2007-12-10|publisher=[[TMZ.com]]|format=PDF}}</ref> better known by his [[ring name]] '''Hulk Hogan''', is an American [[actor]], and semi-retired [[professional wrestling|professional wrestler]]. He starred in the [[VH1]] reality show ''[[Hogan Knows Best]]'' and is the co-host of ''[[American Gladiators (2008 TV series)|American Gladiators]]'' on [[NBC]].


==Biography==
Bollea had mainstream popularity in the mid 1980s through the early 1990s as the all-American, working-class hero character Hulk Hogan in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF—now [[World Wrestling Entertainment]]) and was notable in the mid-to-late 1990s as "Hollywood" Hogan, a villainous [[nWo]] leader, in [[World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW). Following WCW's fold, he made a brief return to the WWE in the early 2000s, revising his heroic character by combining elements of his two most famous personas.
===Early life===
Hedren was born in [[New Ulm, Minnesota]], the daughter of Dorothea Henrietta ([[married and maiden names|née]] Eckhardt) and Bernard Carl Hedren.<ref>[http://www.filmreference.com/film/14/Tippi-Hedren.html Tippi Hedren Biography (1935-)<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Her paternal grandparents were immigrants from [[Sweden]], and her maternal ancestry was German and Norwegian.<ref name="book1">{{cite book|last=Holt|first=Georgia|authorlink=|coauthors=Phyllis Quinn, Sue Russell|title= Star Mothers: The Moms Behind the Celebrities|publisher=Simon and Schuster|date=1988|location=|pages=287|month=|url=|id=ISBN0671645102}}</ref> Her father ran a small general store in the small town of [[Lafayette, Minnesota]] and gave her the moniker "Tippi". "My father thought Nathalie was a little bit much for a brand new baby", Hedren explained at a 2004 screening of [[The Birds (film)|The Birds]]. In the screen test found in the DVD extras, she explains that it is "a Swedish nickname, (short) for Tupsa... meaning 'Little Girl' in a specific Swedish dialect" (not found in dictionary).


As a teenager, Hedren took part in department store fashion shows. Her parents relocated to [[California]] while she was still a high school student. When she reached her 18th birthday, she bought a ticket to New York and began a professional modeling career. Within a year she made her film debut (minus dialogue) as a Petty Girl model in ''The Petty Girl'' (1950) musical comedy, although in interviews she refers to ''[[The Birds (film)|The Birds]]'' (1963) as her first film.<ref>Vroman, Lavender. ''Tippi Hedren airs out her early acting days, wildlife preservation'', ''[[Antelope Valley Press]]'', [[September 30]], [[2004]], page A6.</ref>
Bollea entered the [[WWE Hall of Fame]] in 2005 and is officially a twelve-time [[Pro Wrestling Illustrated#World Heavyweight Titles|world champion]]: a [[List of WWE Champions|six time]] [[WWE Championship|WWF/E Champion]]<ref name="wwetitle"/> and a [[List of WCW World Heavyweight Champions|six time]] [[WCW World Heavyweight Championship|WCW World Heavyweight Champion]]<ref name="wcwtitle"/> as well as a former [[List of World Tag Team Champions (WWE)|one time]] [[World Tag Team Championship (WWE)|Tag Team Champion]] with [[Adam Copeland|Edge]].<ref name="titlehistory">{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/superstars/halloffame/hulkhogan/titlehistory|title=Hulk Hogan's Title History|publisher=WWE|accessdate=2008-04-13}}</ref><ref name="worldtagteam"/> He is also the winner of the [[Royal Rumble]] in [[Royal Rumble (1990)|1990]] and [[Royal Rumble (1991)|1991]].<ref name="titlehistory"/><ref name="rumble"/>


==Childhood==
===Career===
Hedren had a successful modeling career in the 1950s and 1960s. She was discovered by Hitchcock, who was watching ''[[Today (NBC program)|The Today Show]]'' when he saw Hedren in a diet drink commercial. Hitchcock was looking for an actress who possessed something of the sophistication, self-assurance and cool-blonde sex appeal of [[Grace Kelly]], with whom he had made three films. Hedren, expensively groomed and mentored by Hitchcock, appeared in his films ''The Birds'' and ''[[Marnie (film)|Marnie]]'', although it would always be both unfair and unrealistic for an actress to replace Grace Kelly in the minds of both Hitchcock and the public. At the time of the films' releases, she was criticized for being too passive in ''The Birds'' and too expressive in ''[[Marnie (film)|Marnie]]''.<ref name="autogenerated1">[http://www.vh1.com/movies/person/27808/bio.jhtml VH1.com : Person : Tippi Hedren : Biography<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> It took several years before she received respect for her work in both films from [[United States|American]] film critics.
Hogan was born in [[Augusta, Georgia]], the son of Ruth, a homemaker and dance teacher, and Peter Bollea, a construction foreman.<ref>[http://www.filmreference.com/film/94/Hulk-Hogan.html Hulk Hogan Biography (1953-)]</ref> He was raised in [[Tampa, Florida]]. As a boy, he was a pitcher in [[Little League Baseball]]. He began watching professional events at 16 years old. While in high school, he revered [[Dusty Rhodes (wrestler)|Dusty Rhodes]], and he regularly attended cards at the Tampa Sportatorium. It was at one of those wrestling cards where he first saw [[Billy Graham (wrestler)|"Superstar" Billy Graham]] and told his father he wanted to be like Graham.<ref>[[WWE Hall of Fame]] speech</ref> Hogan was also a skilled musician, spending ten years playing [[bass guitar]] in several [[Florida]]-based [[rock and roll|rock]] bands.<ref name=james>{{cite web|url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_g1epc/is_bio/ai_2419200552|title=Hulk Hogan|publisher=St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture|author=Patrick Jones|accessdate=2007-10-25|year=2002}}</ref> Many of the wrestlers who competed in the Florida territory at that time visited the bars where Hogan was performing. He then attended the [[University of South Florida]], of which he later dropped out; he spent most of his time at a local gym, where he met pro wrestler [[Mike Graham]], the son of legendary wrestler and [[National Wrestling Alliance]] president [[Eddie Graham]]. Hogan's physical stature also caught the attention of [[Jack Brisco]] and his brother [[Gerald Brisco|Gerald]]. Together, they convinced Hogan to try wrestling. Having been a wrestling fan since childhood, Hogan agreed, and in 1976, Mike Graham introduced Hogan to [[Yasuhiro Kojima|Hiro Matsuda]], who was among the sport's top trainers. According to Hogan, during their first training session, Matsuda sarcastically asked him, "So you want to be a wrestler?" and purposely broke Hogan's leg.<ref>{{cite book|title=Hollywood Hulk Hogan|author=Hulk Hogan|publisher=Simon and Schuster|pages=25|year=2002|isbn=0743475569}}</ref>


At a packed house in [[Lancaster, California]]'s [[Antelope Valley]] Independent Film Festival Cinema Series screening of ''[[The Birds (film)|The Birds]]'' on [[September 28]], [[2004]], Hedren recalled how she was mysteriously selected for a lead role: "I said, 'Well, who is this person? Who is interested?'... Nobody would tell me who it was." It was Alfred Hitchcock, who soon announced his choice of Hedren for ''The Birds''.
==Wrestling career==
===Early career===
Within a year, Matsuda had prepared him for his professional debut, in which Eddie Graham booked him against [[Brian Blair]] in [[Fort Myers, Florida]] on August 10, 1977.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.oldschool-wrestling.com/geeklog/article.php/20061017223545426|title=Old School Wrestling — Florida results 1977 (August 10)}}</ref> A short time later, Bollea donned a mask and assumed the persona of "The Super Destroyer," a hooded character first played by [[Don Jardine]] and subsequently used by several other wrestlers. A few months later, he joined Louie Tillet's [[Alabama]] territory, where he tag teamed with Ed Leslie (later known as [[Edward Leslie|Brutus Beefcake]]) as Terry and Ed Boulder. These early matches as a tag team with the surname Boulder being used by both men prompted a rumor among wrestling fans unaware of the inner workings of the sport that Hogan and Beefcake were brothers, as few people actually knew their real names outside of immediate friends, family, and of course the various promoters the two worked for. During this time, he appeared on a talk show, where he sat beside [[Lou Ferrigno]], star of the television series ''[[The Incredible Hulk (TV series)|The Incredible Hulk]]''. The host commented how Terry, who stood 6&nbsp;ft 7&nbsp;in and weighed 295&nbsp;pounds with 24&nbsp;inch biceps, actually dwarfed "the Hulk." As a result, Bollea began performing as Terry "The Hulk" Boulder and sometimes wrestled as Sterling Golden.<ref name=james/>


Hitchcock put Hedren through a then-costly $25,000 screen test, doing scenes from his previous films, such as ''[[Rebecca (film)|Rebecca]]'', ''[[Notorious (1946 film)|Notorious]]'' and ''[[To Catch a Thief]]'' with actor [[Martin Balsam]]. He signed her to a multi-year exclusive personal contract, something he had earlier done in the 1950s with [[Vera Miles]]. Hitchcock's plan to mold Hedren's public image went so far as to carefully control her style of dressing and grooming. Hitchcock insisted for publicity purposes that her name should be printed only in single quotes -- 'Tippi'. The press mostly ignored this directive from the director, who felt that the single quotes added distinction and mystery to Hedren's name. In interviews, Hitchcock compared his newcomer not only to her predecessor [[Grace Kelly]] but also to what he referred to as such "ladylike", intelligent, and stylish stars of more glamorous eras as [[Irene Dunne]] and [[Jean Arthur]]. Later, Hedren indicated that she didn't want to be known as the next Grace Kelly but rather as the first Tippi Hedren.
In May 1979, Bollea had an early shot at the [[NWA World Heavyweight Championship]], whose holder was at the time generally recognized as the industry's best. In June 1979, Bollea won his first wrestling championship, the [[NWA Southeastern Heavyweight Championship (Northern Division)|NWA Southeast Heavyweight Championship]], recognized in [[Alabama]] and [[Tennessee]] when he defeated [[Ox Baker]].


Hedren made her debut in ''The Birds'' with a wealth of publicity. In a December 1962 ''[[Look (American magazine)|Look]]'' magazine cover story "Hitchcock's New Grace Kelly", Alfred Hitchcock compared her to his star of ''[[To Catch a Thief]]'' and ''[[Rear Window]]'', saying, "'Tippi' has a faster tempo, city glibness, more humor. She displayed jaunty assuredness, pertness, an attractive throw of the head. And she memorized and read lines extraordinarily well and is sharper in expression."
===World Wrestling Federation (1979-1980)===
Later that year, former NWA World Champion [[Terry Funk]] introduced Bollea to [[World Wrestling Entertainment|World Wrestling Federation]] (WWF) chief [[Vincent J. McMahon]], who was impressed with his charisma and physical stature. McMahon gave Bollea the last name Hogan, as he was obsessed with using Irish names.<ref>Fifteen Greatest Superstars of the '80s DVD</ref> At this time, Hogan wrestled [[Bob Backlund]] for the WWF Championship,<ref>{{cite web|title=WWF Show Results 1980|work=Angelfire|url=http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/80.htm|accessdate=2007-02-27|year=1980}}</ref> and he started his first big feud with [[André the Giant]], which culminated in a [[Showdown at Shea#1980|match]] with André at [[Shea Stadium]].<ref>{{cite web|title=WWF Show Results 1980|work=Angelfire|url=http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/80.htm|accessdate=2008-02-27|year=1980|date=August 9}}</ref>


Hedren said of Hitchcock, "He is subtle as a psychiatrist and never gives displaced encouragement." With the release of the film, she got a very tepid reception, the only exceptions being critic Bob Thomas ("Miss Hedren makes an impressive debut") and ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' ("pleasant and ladylike, as Grace Kelly was.") Years after the film's release, she remembered the location work at [[Bodega Bay, California|Bodega Bay]] as dangerous and taxing, commenting, "For a first film, it was a lot of work."
===American Wrestling Association (1981–1983)===
After filming his scene for ''[[Rocky III]]'', against McMahon's wishes, Hogan made his debut in the [[American Wrestling Association]] (AWA), owned by [[Verne Gagne]]. Hogan started his AWA run as a [[Heel (professional wrestling)|heel]], taking on "Luscious" [[John L. Sullivan (wrestler)|Johnny Valiant]] as his manager, but AWA audiences loved the muscular and more charismatic Hogan, and soon the AWA's bookers were compelled to [[List of professional wrestling terms#T|turn]] Hogan [[face (professional wrestling)|face]]. Using "[[Eye of the Tiger]]" as his theme music, Hogan soon became the promotion's top babyface, and throughout 1983, he engaged in a big feud against AWA World Champion [[Nick Bockwinkel]] and his manager [[Bobby Heenan]]. Gagne, however, continued to tease the AWA audience by booking numerous [[Screwjob (professional wrestling)|screwjobs]] meant to keep the championship with Bockwinkel, who was a veteran of the territory and had assumed the mantle of the organization's centerpiece following Gagne's retirement from active competition. Because Hogan was not an "old school" technical wrestler, Gagne would not let him be champion. On several occasions, Hogan defeated Bockwinkel to win the title, only to have the decision later reversed.<ref>[http://www.wrestleinfo.com/Page35.html]</ref> This practice increasingly drew the ire of the fans, so much so that on one occasion, according to Hogan's autobiography and other books, one crowd nearly rioted until Hogan himself calmed the audience down.{{Fact|date=August 2008}} Hogan himself also began to grow frustrated with Verne Gagne's unwillingness to give Hogan a larger share of his merchandise sales. Eventually, Gagne was finally ready to book Hogan to win the AWA title; however, according to Hogan, Gagne wanted a piece of the large money Hogan was making from his frequent trips to Japan, more control over the bookings that Hogan took overseas. Hogan refused flatly, saying he didn't need the AWA title at that point. Also according to Hogan in his autobiography, Verne wanted Hogan to be brought into the family by marriage before handing the AWA title over to him. Hogan, unwilling to give up his life as a bachelor just for the world title of the AWA, continued to turn down the belt. Shortly after these attempts to woo Hogan into giving Gagne more of a share of his profits and booking in Japan and attempts to bring him into the Gagne family, Hogan was lured back to the Northeast by [[Vince McMahon|Vince McMahon Jr.]], who had just recently purchased the WWF from his ailing father.


For the final attack scene in a second-floor bedroom, filmed on a closed set at Universal-International Studios, Hedren had been assured by Hitchcock that mechanical birds would be used. Instead, Hedren endured five solid days of prop men, protected by thick leather gloves, flinging dozens of live gulls, ravens and crows at her (their beaks clamped shut with elastic bands). [[Cary Grant]] visited the set and told Hedren, "I think you're the bravest lady I've ever met." In a state of exhaustion, when one of the birds gouged her cheek and narrowly missed her eye, Hedren sat down on the set and began crying. A physician ordered a week's rest, which Hedren said at the time was riddled with "nightmares filled with flapping wings".
Over twenty years later, just prior to Hulk Hogan's [[WWE Hall of Fame]] induction in 2005, the revived AWA, under the authority of owner Dale Gagne (real last name: Gagner), relented and acknowledged the legitimacy of Hogan's two title wins over Nick Bockwinkel, making him a two-time AWA champion.<ref>[http://www.awastars.com/hogan.html awastars.com] - ''AWA World Champion: HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN!! By Sean Bush''</ref> This resolution, however, has been regarded as apocryphal to most as the resurrected AWA is generally regarded as an entirely different body than the Verne Gagne-owned AWA of old. As recently as the release of the DVD ''[[American Wrestling Association#World Wrestling Entertainment ownership|The Spectacular Legacy of the AWA]]'', interviews between Hogan and the Gagnes show that there is still animosity between both parties, indicating the unlikelihood Hogan's AWA title reign would have been retroactively instated under the original ownership. The WWE also sought legal action against Dale Gagne, due to alleged trademark infringement, which calls Gagne's claims to ownership of the AWA into doubt, and as such may render the resolution moot, as the WWE only recognizes twelve American world titles being attributed to Hulk Hogan, and the AWA World Title is not among that number.


''The Birds'' brought her a Golden Globe as Most Promising Newcomer.<ref>op cit, page A1 and A6.</ref> ''[[Premiere (magazine)|Premiere]]'' magazine chose Hedren's character, Melanie Daniels in ''The Birds'' as one of "The 100 Greatest Characters of All Time".
===New Japan Pro Wrestling (1980–1983)===
A great deal of Hogan's early success was achieved in [[New Japan Pro Wrestling]]. Japanese wrestling fans were in awe of the gargantuan blond American and nicknamed him "Ichiban" (which translates to "Number One"). Hogan first appeared in Japan on May 13, 1980, while he was still with the WWF. He toured the country from time to time over the next few years, facing a wide variety of opponents ranging from [[Tatsumi Fujinami]] to [[Abdullah the Butcher]]. When competing in Japan, Hogan used a vastly different repertoire of wrestling moves, relying on more technical, traditional wrestling holds and maneuvers as opposed to the power-based, brawling style U.S. fans became accustomed to seeing from him. Another difference is that Hogan used a running forearm lariat (called the "Axe Bomber") as his finisher in Japan, as opposed to the running leg drop that has been his traditional finisher in America. On June 2, 1983, Hogan became the first International Wrestling Grand Prix (IWGP) tournament winner, defeating Japanese wrestling icon [[Antonio Inoki]] by knockout in the finals of a 10-man tournament featuring top talent from throughout the world.<ref name="iwgp1983"/> Hogan and Inoki also worked as partners in Japan, winning the prestigious MSG Tag League tournament two years in a row: in 1982 and 1983. Hogan's popularity in Japan was so great, he even recorded an album there—a forerunner to the World Wrestling Federation's "[[1980s wrestling boom#The Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection|Rock 'n' Wrestling]]" of the mid 1980s.


''[[Marnie (film)|Marnie]]'' (1964), a [[psychological thriller]] from the novel by [[Winston Graham]], was Hedren's second Hitchcock assignment, co-starring with [[Sean Connery]]. She recalls ''Marnie'' as the favorite of her two films for Hitchcock because of the central character, an emotionally battered young woman who travels from city to city assuming various guises in order to rob her employers.<ref>{{cite web | author = Leon Worden|url= http://www.scvhistory.com/scvhistory/signal/newsmaker/sg030605.htm | title= SCV NEWSMAKER OF THE WEEK: Tippi Hedren | publisher= [[Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society]] | accessdate=2005-03-05}}</ref> On release, the film was greeted by mixed reviews and indifferent box-office; over the years, however, it has significantly grown in stature among Hitchcock fans.
===World Wrestling Federation (1983–1993)===
====Birth of Hulkamania====
After purchasing the World Wrestling Federation from his father in 1982, Vincent K. McMahon had plans to expand the territory into a nationwide promotion, and he handpicked Hulk Hogan to be the company's showpiece attraction due to his charisma and name recognition. Hogan made his return to the WWF at a television taping in [[St. Louis, Missouri]] on December 27, 1983 defeating Bill Dixon.<ref>{{cite web|title=WWF Show Results 1983|work=Angelfire|url=http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/83.htm|accessdate=2008-02-27|year=1983|date=December 27}}</ref> Initially, Hogan was a heel, allied with veteran wrestler-turned-manager [[Freddie Blassie|"Classy" Freddie Blassie]]; however, this was short-lived.


Although Hitchcock continued to have Hedren in mind for several other films after ''Marnie'', the actress declined any further work with him. Other directors who wanted to hire her had to go through Hitchcock, who would inform them she was unavailable. "It grew to be impossible. He was a very controlling type of person, and I guess I'm not about to be controlled", said Hedren, who bought out her contract. Ending their professional relationship on a sour note, she recalled, "He said, 'Well, I'll ruin your career.' And he did."<ref>op cit, page A6.</ref> Hedren then recorded a couple of songs, "If You were a Carpenter" and "My life without you," which were released in 1966,<ref>[http://www.sunpk.com/art/cdart/pages/058tippi.htm Tippi Hedren Sings If You Were A Carpenter<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> and guest-starred in a couple of television shows.
On January 7, 1984 edition of ''[[WWWF Championship Wrestling|Championship Wrestling]]'', Hogan saved [[Bob Backlund]] from a three-way assault.<ref>{{cite web|title=WWF Show Results 1984|work=Angelfire|url=http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/84.htm|accessdate=2008-02-27|year=1984|date=January 7}}</ref> Hogan's turn was explained simply by Backlund: "He's changed his ways. He's a great man. He's told me he's not gonna have Blassie around". The storyline shortcut was necessary because less than three weeks later on January 23, Hogan won his first [[WWE Championship|WWF Championship]], pinning The [[Iron Sheik]] (who had Blassie in his [[cornerman|corner]]) in [[Madison Square Garden]].<ref name=james/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/wwechampionship/304454120|title=Hulk Hogan's first WWE Championship reign|publisher=WWE|accessdate=2008-04-12}}</ref> The storyline accompanying the victory was that Hogan was a "last minute" replacement for the Sheik's original opponent Bob Backlund,<ref name="WWEBio" /> and became the champion by way of being the first man to escape the camel clutch (the Iron Sheik's signature move).<ref name="MSG - Hogan vs Sheik">{{cite web|title=WWF Show Results 1984|work=Angelfire|url=http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/84.htm|accessdate=2008-02-27|year=1984|date=January 23}}</ref>


[[Charles Chaplin]] cast her as the sophisticated, brittle, cheated-upon wife of [[Marlon Brando]] in his shipboard comedy ''[[A Countess from Hong Kong]]'' (1967). She made more than 40 films between 1967 and 2006, including ''[[Pacific Heights (1990 film)|Pacific Heights]]'', ''[[Citizen Ruth]]'' and ''[[I Heart Huckabees]]''. More recently, she has appeared in episodes of ''[[The 4400]]'' and ''[[Fashion House]]'' and the forthcoming thriller ''Rodeo Girl'' (2007).
Immediately after the title win, commentator [[Gorilla Monsoon]] officially proclaimed "Hulkamania is here!" Hogan frequently referred to his fans as "Hulkamaniacs" in his interviews and introduced his three "demandments": [[training]], saying [[prayer]]s, and eating [[vitamin]]s. Eventually, a fourth demandment ([[self-confidence|believing in oneself]]) was added following his feud with [[John Tenta|Earthquake]] in the 1990s. Hogan's ring gear developed a characteristic yellow-and-red color scheme; his ring entrances involved him [[ritual]]istically ripping his shirt off his body, [[posedown|flexing]], and listening for audience cheers in an exaggerated manner. The majority of Hogan's matches during this time involved him wrestling heels who had been [[List of professional wrestling terms#B|booked]] as [[heel (professional wrestling)#heel types|unstoppable monsters]], using a format which became near-routine: Hogan would deliver steady offense, but eventually lose momentum, seemingly nearing defeat. He would then experience a sudden [[second wind]], fighting back while "feeding" off the energy of the audience, becoming impervious to attack—a process described as "hulking up". His signature maneuvers, the [[professional wrestling attacks#Big boot|big boot]] and [[leg drop#Running leg drop|Atomic Leg Drop]], would follow and ensure him a victory.


===Influence===
Over the next year, Hulk Hogan became the face of pro wrestling as McMahon pushed the WWF into a [[popular culture|pop culture]] enterprise with the [[1980s wrestling boom#The Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection|The Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection]] on [[MTV]], drawing record houses, [[pay-per-view]] buyrates, and television ratings in the process.

Hedren's influence on actors and films has surfaced in recent years: A [[Louis Vuitton]] ad campaign in 2006 paid tribute to Hedren and Hitchcock with a modern-day interpretation of the deserted railway station opening sequence of ''[[Marnie (film)|Marnie]]''.

In the process, Hogan was portrayed as a real-life [[superhero]] while reaching out to young fans. The consummate role model, he was named the most requested celebrity of the 1980s for the [[Make-a-Wish Foundation]] children's charity. As a result, Hogan transformed the business into a sports entertainment spectacle that appealed to prime-time audiences of all ages and backgrounds. Never before had the industry seen anything like Hulkamania, as Hulk Hogan [[action figure]]s and T-shirts began turning up in malls across the nation. Moreover, Hogan was featured on the covers of ''[[Sports Illustrated]]'', ''[[TV Guide]]'', and ''[[People (magazine)|People]]'' magazines, while also appearing on ''[[The Tonight Show]]'' and having his own [[CBS]] [[Saturday morning cartoon]] titled ''[[Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling]]''. Hogan went on to headline eight of the first nine WrestleMania events, and he also co-hosted ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' on March 30, 1985 during this lucrative run. Hogan also owned another money-making machine in the early 1990s; AT&T reported that his [[premium-rate telephone number|900 number]] information line was the single biggest 900 number in the industry from 1991 to 1993. Hogan operated the 900 number through his stint in WWF and then recreated it when he joined [[World Championship Wrestling]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.reference.com/search?q=900%20number|title=Hulk Hogan Divorce Papers|accessdate=2007-12-10|publisher=[[TMZ.com]]}}</ref> <!--is Divorce papers the right title for this-->

In 1981, Hedren produced ''[[Roar (film)|Roar]],'' an 11-year project that ended up costing $17 million and starring dozens of African lions.<ref name="autogenerated1" /> "This was probably one of the most dangerous films that Hollywood has ever seen", remarked the actress. "It's amazing no one was killed." During the production of ''Roar'', Hedren, her husband at the time, [[Noel Marshall]], and daughter Melanie were attacked by lions; [[Jan de Bont]], the director of photography, was scalped. She later co-wrote the book ''Cats of Shambala'' (1985) about the experience.

''Roar'' made only $2 million worldwide. Hedren ended her marriage to Marshall a year later in 1982. The film directly led to the 1983 establishment of the [[non-profit]] Roar Foundation and Hedren's [[Shambala Preserve]], located at the edge of the [[Mojave Desert]] in [[Acton, California]] between the Antelope Valley and the [[Santa Clarita Valley]] 40 miles northeast of [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]]. Shambala currently houses some 70 animals, including African lions, [[Siberian tiger|Siberian]] and [[Bengal tiger]]s, [[leopard]]s, [[serval]]s, [[mountain lion]]s and [[bobcat]]s. Hedren lives on the Shambala site and conducts monthly tours of the preserve for the public.

Hedren took in and cared for Togare, a lion that belonged to [[Anton LaVey]], after he was told by San Francisco officials that he couldn't keep a fully grown lion as a house pet. More recently, Shambala became the new home for [[Michael Jackson]]’s two Bengal tigers after he decided to close his zoo at his [[Neverland Valley Ranch]] in [[Los Olivos, California]].

Several documentaries have focused on Shambala Preserve, including the 30-minute ''Lions: Kings of the Serengeti'' (1995), narrated by Melanie Griffith, and [[Animal Planet]]'s ''Life with Big Cats'' (1998), which won the Genesis Award for best documentary in 1999. The animals at the preserve served as the initial inspiration for the life's work of artist [[A. E. London]], who started her career working for Hedren.

===Personal life===
====Four more reigns (1989–1993)====
Hedren met and married actor/producer [[Peter Griffith]] in 1952. The marriage lasted until 1961, and produced one daughter, actress [[Melanie Griffith]], in 1957. She married her then-agent [[Noel Marshall]], who later produced three of her films, in 1964; they divorced in 1982. She married businessman Luis Barrenechea in 1985 but divorced him 10 years later. In 2002, she married veterinarian Dr. Martin Dinnes. In a recent ''LA Times'' article, Ms. Hedren was described as being a pivotal figure in the modern development of Vietnamese owned nail salons in the US. She was apparently drawn to the plight of Vietnamese refugees from the Vietnam War and in 1975, helped 20 Vietnamese immigrants by having her manicurist teach them the skills of the trade. This single event in history has been cited as the genesis of the modern proliferation of Vietnamese owned nail salons in the US.<ref>[http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-nails5-2008may05,0,3901012.story A mix of luck, polish - Los Angeles Times<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

Hogan's second run lasted a year, during which time he starred in the movie ''[[No Holds Barred]]''. The film was the inspiration of a feud with Hogan's co-star [[Tom Lister, Jr.]], who appeared at wrestling events as his movie character, Zeus. Zeus was a [[heel (professional wrestling)#heel types|monster heel]] who was "jealous" over Hogan's higher billing and wanted revenge. Hogan, however, was easily able to defeat Zeus in a series of matches across the country during late 1989, beginning with a tag team match at [[SummerSlam (1989)|SummerSlam 1989]], in which Hogan and [[Edward Leslie|Brutus Beefcake]] topped Zeus and Savage.<ref name="OWW"/><ref name="hulkbrutus">{{cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/h/hulkbrutus.html|title=Mega-Maniacs Profile|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|accessdate=2008-04-13}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/summerslam/history/1989/results/|title=SummerSlam 1989 official results|publisher=WWE|accessdate=2008-04-13|date=August 28, 1989}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/summerslam/history/1989/mainevent/|title=Hulk Hogan & Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake w/ Elizabeth vs. "Macho Man" Randy Savage & Zeus w/ Sensational Sherri|publisher=WWE|accessdate=2008-04-13|date=August 28, 1989}}</ref> Hogan and Beefcake defeated Zeus and Savage in a rematch at the [[No Holds Barred#The match|No Holds Barred PPV]] to end the feud.<ref name="hulkbrutus"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wwf/miscppvs1980s.html#nhb|title=No Holds Barred: The Match/The Movie results|publisher=Wrestling Supercards and Tournaments|accessdate=2008-04-13|date=December 27, 1989}}</ref>

Hogan soon became embroiled in a heated feud with the 468-pound [[John Tenta|Earthquake]], who gained infamy by crushing Hogan's ribs in a sneak attack on ''[[Bruce Prichard#Brother Love show|The Brother Love Show]]'' in May 1990. On television, announcers explained that Hogan's injuries and his WrestleMania VI loss to The Ultimate Warrior both took such a huge toll on his fighting spirit that he wanted to retire. Viewers were asked to write letters to Hogan and send postcards asking for his return (they got a postcard-sized picture in return, autographed by Hogan, as a "thank-you"). Hogan returned by [[SummerSlam (1990)|SummerSlam 1990]] and for several months, dominated Earthquake in a series of matches across the country.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/summerslam/history/1990/results/|title=SummerSlam 1990 official results|publisher=WWE|accessdate=2008-04-13|date=August 27, 1990}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/summerslam/history/1990/mainevent/|title=Hulk Hogan w/ Big Bossman vs. Earthquake w/ Jimmy Hart and Dino Bravo|publisher=WWE|accessdate=2008-04-13|date=August 27, 1990}}</ref> His defeat of this overwhelmingly large foe caused Hogan to add a fourth demandment: believing in yourself.

Hogan would continue his feud on the house show circuit with Yokozuna until August 1993. After that, Hogan would sit out the rest of his contract which expired later that year.

In 1994, a [[steroid]]s scandal threatened the WWF, and Hogan testified in court that he had used steroids over a period of 12 years "to get big" and had also introduced WWF Chairman Vince McMahon to steroids during the filming of ''No Holds Barred''. Both men also had [[Pennsylvania]] doctor George Zahorian send steroids to WWF's corporate office via [[FedEx]]. Hogan, however, never accused McMahon of distributing steroids himself, but Hogan also testified that steroid use was rampant in the WWF. His testimony may have kept McMahon out of prison, but it hurt both Hogan and the WWF's public image.

===World Championship Wrestling (1994–2000)===
====Early run (1994–1996)====
After Hogan left the WWF in the summer of 1993, he decided to take a few months off from wrestling to concentrate on movies, television, and his family. In June 1994, Hogan signed with [[Ted Turner]]'s [[World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW) and began appearing on television the next month. Hogan won the [[WCW World Heavyweight Championship]] in his debut match, defeating [[Ric Flair]] in a 'dream' match at [[Bash at the Beach#1994|Bash at the Beach]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/wcwchampionship/30445411021|title=Hulk Hogan's first WCW Championship reign|publisher=WWE|accessdate=2008-04-14}}</ref> After overcoming the likes of Flair,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/havoc.html#94|title=Halloween Havoc 1994 results|publisher=Wrestling Supercards and Tournaments|accessdate=2008-04-14|date=October 23, 1994}}</ref> [[Edward Leslie|The Butcher]] (former partner Brutus Beefcake),<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/starrcad.html#94|title=Starrcade 1994: Triple Threat results|publisher=Wrestling Supercards and Tournaments|accessdate=2008-04-14|date=December 27, 1994}}</ref> [[Big Van Vader|Vader]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/s-brawl.html#94|title=SuperBrawl V results|publisher=Wrestling Supercards and Tournaments|accessdate=2008-04-14|date=February 19, 1995}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/uncensor.html#95|title=Uncensored 1995 results|publisher=Wrestling Supercards and Tournaments|accessdate=2008-04-14|date=March 19, 1995}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/starrcad.html#95|title=Bash at the Beach 1995 results|publisher=Wrestling Supercards and Tournaments|accessdate=2008-04-14|date=July 16, 1995|}}</ref> and the [[Dungeon of Doom]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/fall.html#95|title=Fall Brawl 1995: WarGames results|publisher=Wrestling Supercards and Tournaments|accessdate=2008-04-14|date=September 17, 1995}}</ref> for the next eighteen months, Hogan [[List of professional wrestling terms#D|dropped]] the belt to [[Paul Wight|The Giant]] at [[Halloween Havoc#1995|Halloween Havoc 1995]] via DQ.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/havoc.html#95|title=Halloween Havoc 1995 results|publisher=Wrestling Supercards and Tournaments|accessdate=2008-04-14|date=October 29, 1995}}</ref> Following the controversial loss (which was due to a "contract clause"), the WCW title became vacant.

In early 1996, Hogan feuded with The Giant<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/s-brawl.html#VI|title=SuperBrawl VI results|publisher=Wrestling Supercards and Tournaments|accessdate=2008-04-14|date=February 11, 1996}}</ref> and with the [[Alliance to End Hulkamania]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/uncensor.html#96|title=Uncensored 1996 results|publisher=Wrestling Supercards and Tournaments|accessdate=2008-04-14|date=March 24, 1996}}</ref> After coming out victorious from his feuds, Hogan began to only appear occasionally on WCW programming. It was also around this time, WCW fans began to grow tired of seeing Hogan's "red-and-yellow good guy" persona they had seen for ten years in the WWF.<ref name="OWW"/> This led to one of the most talked about moments in wrestling history in the summer of 1996.<ref name="acceleratorbio"/> During a six man tag team match at [[Bash at the Beach (1996)|Bash at the Beach]], Hulk Hogan interfered on behalf of [[The Outsiders (professional wrestling)|The Outsiders]] ([[Kevin Nash]] and [[Scott Hall]]), attacking babyface [[Randy Savage]]. This action caused Hogan to [[List of professional wrestling terms#T|turn]] [[heel (professional wrestling)|heel]] for the first time in over ten years.<ref name="OWW"/><ref name="acceleratorbio"/><ref name="beach96">{{cite web|url=http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/wcw96.htm|title=WCW Show Results 1996|publisher=Angelfire|accessdate=2008-04-14|date=July 7, 1996}}</ref> After the match, Hogan delivered a now-infamous [[Promo (professional wrestling)|promo]], accosting the fans and WCW for underappreciating his talent and drawing power. This culminated with Hogan's announcement of the formation of a "New World Order of Wrestling"<ref name="beach96"/> This statement gave the trio it's iconic name: The new World order (nWo).

Hogan then developed a rivalry with former friend (and recent nWo recruit) Randy Savage, who had just cost Hogan the title match at SuperBrawl by hitting him with a spray can.<ref name="acceleratorbio"/> The [[heat (professional wrestling)|heat]] culminated in a steel cage match at [[Uncensored#1998|Uncensored 1998]], which ended in a no contest.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/uncensor.html#98|title=Uncensored 1998 results|publisher=Wrestling Supercards and Tournaments|accessdate=2008-04-14|date=March 15, 1998}}</ref> Savage took the World Championship from Sting at [[Spring Stampede#1998|Spring Stampede 1998]], while Hogan teamed with Kevin Nash to take on [[Roddy Piper]] and The Giant in the first-ever [[Professional wrestling match types#(Object) on a Pole match|Bat match]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/stampede.html#98|title=Spring Stampede 1998 results|publisher=Wrestling Supercards and Tournaments|accessdate=2008-04-14|date=April 19, 1998}}</ref> Marking the breakup of the original nWo, Hogan betrayed Nash by hitting him with the bat and then challenged Savage the following night for his championship.<ref name="nwooriginal"/> In the [[Professional wrestling match types#No disqualification match|no disqualification match]] for Savage's newly won title, Nash entered the ring and [[powerbomb]]ed Hogan as retribution for the attack the previous night, and Bret Hart turned heel by jumping in to attack Savage and preserve the victory for Hogan, who regained his fourth WCW World Heavyweight Championship.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ddtdigest.com/updates/1998043m.htm|title=WCW Monday Nitro, Monday, 04/20/98|publisher=DDT Digest|accessdate=2008-04-16|date=April 20, 1998}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/wcwchampionship/30445411024|title=Hulk Hogan's fourth WCW Championship reign|publisher=WWE|accessdate=2008-04-16}}</ref> Hogan defended the title until July of that year, when WCW [[List of professional wrestling terms#B|booked]] him in a match against newcomer and then [[WWE United States Championship|WCW United States Champion]] [[Bill Goldberg]], who had yet to lose a match in the company.

After some time off from WCW, a still "retired" Hogan returned on the January 4, 1999 edition of ''Nitro'' to challenge Kevin Nash for the WCW title. He controversially regained his fifth WCW World Heavyweight Championship in what was later dubbed [[the Fingerpoke of Doom]].<ref name="OWW"/><ref name="acceleratorbio"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ddtdigest.com/updates/1999011m.htm|title=WCW Monday Nitro - Monday, 01/04/99|publisher=DDT Digest|accessdate=2008-04-16|date=January 4, 1999}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/wcwchampionship/30445411037|title=Hulk Hogan's fifth WCW Championship reign|publisher=WWE|accessdate=2008-04-16}}</ref> This reformed the divided nWo branches—nWo Hollywood and nWo Wolfpac—which began feuding with Bill Goldberg and [[Four Horsemen (professional wrestling)|The Four Horsemen]].

Thanks to interference from Nash, who had lost the title to Savage, Hogan defeated Savage to win his sixth and final WCW World Heavyweight Championship.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ddtdigest.com/updates/1999072m.htm|title=WCW Monday Nitro - Monday, 07/12/99|publisher=DDT Digest|accessdate=2008-04-16|date=July 12, 1999}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/wcwchampionship/304454110315|title=Hulk Hogan's sixth WCW Championship reign|publisher=WWE|accessdate=2008-04-16}}</ref>

On August 9, 1999, he started the night dressed in the typical black and white, but after a backstage scene with his [[Nick Hogan|son]], Hogan came out dressed in the traditional red and yellow for his main-event 6-man tag team match. Injuries and frustrations were mounting up however, and he was absent from television from October 1999 to February 2000. In his book ''Hollywood Hulk Hogan'', Bollea said that he was asked to take time off by newly hired head of creative [[List of professional wrestling slang#B|booker]] [[Vince Russo]] and was not told when he would be brought back at the time. Despite some reservations, he agreed to do so. On October 24 at [[Halloween Havoc#1999|Halloween Havoc]], Hogan was to face Sting for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship (which he had lost to Sting at [[Fall Brawl#1999|Fall Brawl]] the previous month, when Sting beat Hogan by cheating and had turned heel in the process).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/fall.html#99|title=Fall Brawl 1999 results|publisher=Wrestling Supercards and Tournaments|accessdate=2008-04-16|date=September 12, 1999}}</ref> Hogan, however, came to the ring in street clothes, laid down for the pin, and left the ring.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/havoc.html#99|title=Halloween Havoc 1999 results|publisher=Wrestling Supercards and Tournaments|accessdate=2008-04-16|date=October 24, 1999}}</ref>

Soon after his return in February 2000, at [[Bash at the Beach#2000|Bash at the Beach]], Hogan was involved in a controversial, [[Legit (professional wrestling)|real-life]] incident with Vince Russo. Hogan was scheduled to wrestle [[Jeff Jarrett]] for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4155/is_20000716/ai_n13870868|title=No more Hulkamania?

Unbeknownst to Hogan, Russo told Jarrett to lie down in the middle of the ring and asked Hogan to pin him straight away. A visibly confused Hogan complied with a foot on Jarrett's chest after getting on the microphone and telling Russo, "''Is this your idea, Russo...? That's why this company is in the damn shape it's in, because of bullshit like this!''" Russo responded by coming out and saying that "''From day one, that I've been in WCW, I've done nothing... nothing... but deal with the bullshit of the politics behind that curtain''." Since Hogan refused to [[job (professional wrestling)|job]] to Jarrett, a new WCW World Heavyweight Championship was created, setting the stage for a title match between [[Booker Huffman|Booker T]] and Jeff Jarrett later that night.<ref name="acceleratorbio"/> Whether or not the whole incident was a [[shoot (professional wrestling)|shoot]] or a [[List of professional wrestling terms#W|work]] is still a hot debate. As a result, Hogan filed a [[defamation|defamation of character]] lawsuit against Russo soon after,<ref name=lawsuit>{{cite book|title=Eric Bischoff: Controversy Creates Cash|author=Eric Bischoff|publisher=Simon and Schuster|year=2006|isbn= 141652729X|pages=p.344-346}}</ref> which was eventually dismissed in 2002.

===X Wrestling Federation (2000–2001)===
From July 2000 to November 2001, Hogan was out of the public eye. He had been dealing with self-doubt and [[depression (mood)|depression]] following the [[Vince Russo]] incident, wondering if what Russo had said about him was true.{{Fact|date=August 2008}} In the months following the eventual demise of WCW in March 2001, Hogan underwent surgery on his knees in order for him to wrestle again. As a test, Hogan worked a match in [[Orlando, Florida]] for the [[X Wrestling Federation]] promotion run by his longtime handler [[Jimmy Hart]]. Hogan defeated [[Curt Hennig]] in this match and felt healthy enough to accept an offer to return to the WWF in February 2002.<ref name="OWW"/>

At [[No Way Out (2002)|No Way Out]] in 2002, Hogan returned to the company that had made him a [[Popular culture|pop culture]] icon.<ref name="WWEBio" /> Returning as leader of the original nWo with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, the three got into a confrontation with [[Dwayne Johnson|The Rock]]<ref name="nowayout02"/> and cost [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]] a chance at becoming the [[Undisputed Championship#World Wrestling Entertainment|WWF Undisputed Champion]] against [[Chris Jericho]] in the main event.<ref name="nowayout02">{{cite web|url=http://www.gerweck.net/nowayout02.htm|title=No Way Out 2002 review|publisher=Gerweck.net|accessdate=2008-04-16|date=February 17, 2002}}</ref> The nWo feuded with both Austin and The Rock, and Hogan accepted The Rock's challenge to a match at [[WrestleMania X8]]. At the event, Hogan asked Hall and Nash not to interfere, wanting to defeat The Rock by himself. Despite the fact that Hogan was supposed to be the heel in the match, the crowd favored Hogan throughout it; this effectively turned him [[face (professional wrestling)|face]]. The Rock [[List of professional wrestling terms#C|cleanly]] won the contest<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/history/wm18/results/|title=WrestleMania X8 official results|publisher=WWE|accessdate=2008-04-16|date=March 17, 2002}}</ref> but befriended Hogan at the end of the bout and helped him fight off Hall and Nash, who were upset by Hogan's conciliatory attitude.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gerweck.net/wrestlemania18.htm|title=WrestleMania 18 review|publisher=Gerweck.net|accessdate=2008-04-16|date=March 17, 2002}}</ref> After the match, Hogan was a definite face again, siding with The Rock, though he continued wearing black and white tights for a few weeks after WrestleMania X8 until he resumed wearing his signature red and yellow tights. During this period, the "Hulk Rules" logo of the '80s was redone with the text "Hulk ''Still'' Rules." Hulk wore the original "Hulk Rules" attire 12 years earlier, when he headlined [[WrestleMania 6]] at the same arena, in the SkyDome. For a time, he was still known as "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, notably keeping the Hollywood Hogan style blond mustache with black beard while wearing Hulkamania-like red and yellow tights. At [[WWE Backlash#2002|Backlash]], he defeated [[Triple H]] for his sixth and final WWF "Undisputed" Championship.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/backlash/history/backlash2002/results/|title=Backlash 2002 official results|publisher=WWE|accessdate=2008-04-16|date=April 21, 2002}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/backlash/history/backlash2002/mainevent/|title=Hulk Hogan defeats Triple H to become new WWE Undisputed Champion|publisher=WWE|accessdate=2008-04-16|date=April 21, 2002}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/wwechampionship/30445414114|title=Hulk Hogan's sixth WWE Championship reign|publisher=WWE|accessdate=2008-04-16}}</ref> He lost the belt to [[The Undertaker]] at [[WWE Judgment Day#2002|Judgment Day]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/judgmentday/history/judgmentday2002/results/|title=Judgment Day 2002 official results|publisher=WWE|accessdate=2008-04-16|date=May 19, 2002}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/judgmentday/history/judgmentday2002/mainevent/|title=Undertaker vs. Hulk Hogan for the WWE Championship|publisher=WWE|accessdate=2008-04-16|date=May 19, 2002}}</ref>

====Mr. America (2003)====
Later, he had a run as the masked Mr. America. The persona was supposed to be Hulk Hogan in [[Deception|disguise]], wearing a mask. He used Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme music and used all of Hogan's signature gestures, moves, and phrases. He was the subject of a storyline that took place after Hollywood Hulk Hogan was forced by Vince McMahon to sit out the rest of his contract.<ref name="OWW"/> After Hogan won at [[WrestleMania XIX]], McMahon, in storyline, was frustrated with him and wanted Hulkamania to die.<ref name="OWW"/> A WWE pre-debut [[List of professional wrestling terms#P|push]] took place with mysterious Mr. America promos airing for weeks during ''SmackDown!''.<ref name="OWW"/> There was also on-screen discussion on ''SmackDown!'' between then General Manager [[Stephanie McMahon]] and other players concerning her hiring Mr. America "sight unseen."<ref name="OWW"/> On May 1, Mr. America debuted on ''SmackDown!'' on a ''[[Piper's Pit]]'' segment. McMahon appeared and claimed that Mr. America was Hulk Hogan in disguise; Mr. America shot back by saying, "I am not Hulk Hogan, brother!" (lampooning Hogan's use of "brother" in his promos).<ref name="OWW"/> The [[Feud (professional wrestling)|feud]] continued through the month of May, with a singles match between Mr. America and Hogan's old rival Roddy Piper at [[WWE Judgment Day#2003|Judgment Day]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/judgmentday/history/judgmentday2003/results/|title=Judgment Day 2003 official results|publisher=WWE|accessdate=2008-04-16|date=May 18, 2003}}</ref> McMahon tried desperately to prove that Mr. America was indeed Hulk Hogan but failed at all attempts. Mr. America even passed a [[Polygraph|lie detector]] test.<ref name="acceleratorbio"/>

Mr. America's last WWE appearance was on the June 26 edition of ''SmackDown!'' when [[Paul Wight|The Big Show]] and [[The World's Greatest Tag Team]] ([[Shelton Benjamin]] and [[Charlie Haas]]) defeated the team of Brock Lesnar, [[Kurt Angle]], and Mr. America in a six-man tag team match when Show pinned Mr. America.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/smackdown/030626.html|title=SmackDown! results - June 26, 2003|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|accessdate=2008-04-16|date=June 26, 2003}}</ref> After the show went off the air, Mr. America unmasked to show the fans that he was indeed Hulk Hogan, putting his finger to his lips telling the fans to keep quiet about his secret.

This was also adding fuel to the fire over the rights to use the Hulk Hogan name because of Marvel's ownership of the [[Hulk (comics)|Incredible Hulk]] character. Because of these problems, WWE was forced to edit out all references to the "Hulk Hogan" name, including pictures which featured Hogan wearing memorabilia that said "Hulk" (a majority of them) and started to refer to Hogan under the "Hollywood Hogan" name he used in WCW. It was later revealed that Hogan was unhappy with the payoffs for his matches after his comeback under the Mr. America gimmick.<ref name=mramerica/> Vince decided to terminate Hogan's contract, and Hogan left WWE in 2003.<ref name=mramerica/>

===New Japan, TNA, and WWE Hall of Fame (2003–2005)===
A few months afterwards, Hulk Hogan worked a match for [[New Japan Pro Wrestling]], beating [[Masahiro Chono]] at the ''Ultimate Crush II'' event, an event that featured both pro wrestling and [[mixed martial arts]] matches.

According to various reports, Hulk Hogan was approached by [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]] in 2003 regarding appearing at a planned event titled [[TNA Bound for Glory|Bound for Glory]], a three hour pay per view event in October meant to be the annual alternative. Hogan willingly took a guitar shot from Jarrett during a press conference in Japan to hype the storyline, but withdrew from negotiations citing knee problems that would require surgery and prevent him from participating. "I was getting ready to go to TNA, was hoping of working with Jarrett and those guys, and giving McMahon a run for his money one more time," said Hulk Hogan on the Main Event radio show in December 2006. The footage of Jarrett breaking a guitar over Hogan's head was thereafter frequently used by TNA.

In 2005, weeks before [[WrestleMania 21]], it was announced on all WWE programming that Hogan would be inducted into the [[WWE Hall of Fame|Hall of Fame]]. On April 2, Hogan was inducted by actor and friend [[Sylvester Stallone]].<ref>{{cite web|url= http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4188/is_20050322/ai_n13453252|title=Stallone set to induct Hulk Hogan into hall| publisher=Deseret News (Salt Lake City)|accessdate=2007-10-25|date=March 22, 2005}}</ref> Hogan was applauded for several minutes before he was able to make a speech. When he paused during his speech, the crowd chanted "One More Match! One More Match!" The fans also chanted "Austin, Hogan" (referring to a Steve Austin vs. Hulk Hogan match); Hogan responded "that may be a good match someday". At WrestleMania 21 on April 3, the "American Patriot" Hogan came out to rescue [[Nick Dinsmore|Eugene]], who was being attacked by [[Mark Copani|Muhammad Hassan]] and [[Shawn Daivari|Khosrow Daivari]]. Some of the build-up to Hogan's induction into the Hall of Fame and preparation for this angle were shown on the first season of ''[[Hogan Knows Best]]''.

The next night on ''Raw'', Hassan and Daivari came out to confront and assault fan favorite [[Shawn Michaels]]. The following week, Michaels approached ''Raw'' General Manager [[Eric Bischoff]] demanding a handicap match with Hassan and Daivari. Bischoff refused but told Michaels if he found a partner he would be granted a tag team match. Michaels then made a plea for Hulk Hogan to come back and team with him. On the April 18 episode of ''Raw'', Hassan again led an attack on Michaels until Hogan appeared, and saved Michaels and accepted his offer. At [[Backlash (2005)|Backlash 2005]], Hassan and Daivari lost to Hogan and Michaels.<ref name="Backlash 2005 - Hogan retrospective">{{cite news|first=Scott|last=Zerr|title=Hogan thrilled to be retro|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2005/05/01/1021236.html|publisher=SLAM!

Hogan then appeared on July 4 edition of ''Raw'' as the special guest of [[Carly Colón|Carlito]] on his talk-show segment ''Carlito's Cabana''. After being asked questions by Carlito concerning his daughter [[Brooke Hogan]], Hogan proceeded to attack Carlito. This was then followed up by an appearance of [[Kurt Angle]], who made comments about Brooke, which further upset Hogan. Hogan was eventually double teamed by Carlito and Angle but was saved by Shawn Michaels. Later that night, Michaels and Hogan defeated Carlito and Kurt Angle in a tag match. During the post match celebration, Michaels delivered [[Superkick|Sweet Chin Music]] to Hogan and walked off.<ref name="RAW - July 4, 2005 results">{{cite news|title= Heartbreaker|url= http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/archive/07042005/| publisher=WWE|date=July 4, 2005|accessdate=2007-10-22}}</ref> The following week on ''Raw'', Michaels appeared on ''[[Piper's Pit]]'' and challenged Hogan to face him one-on-one for the first time.<ref name="RAW - July 11, 2005 results">{{cite news|title=HBK challenges Hogan for SummerSlam|url=http://www.wwe.com/content/media/video/tvshows/raw/200507/11hbkchallenge| publisher=WWE|date=July 11, 2005|accessdate=2007-10-22}}</ref> Hogan appeared on ''Raw'' one week later and accepted the challenge.<ref name="RAW - July 18, 2005 results">{{cite news|title=Cena overcomes the odds|url= http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/archive/07182005/| publisher=WWE|date=July 18, 2005|accessdate=2007-10-22}}{{Dead link|date=September 2008}}</ref> The match took place at [[SummerSlam (2005)|SummerSlam]].

Even after Michaels hit his Sweet Chin Music, Hogan still kicked out and mounted some offense against Michaels, finally hitting him with the legdrop and scoring the victory. Michaels extended his hand to him, telling him that he "had to find out for himself," and Hogan and Michaels shook hands.

In December 2007 on the 15th Anniversary edition of ''Monday Night Raw'', Hogan came back for a one night appearance coming to the aid of [[Dylan Postl|Hornswoggle]] against [[The Great Khali]]. During his in-ring speech, Hogan said to never say never about another match and alluded to his longtime rival [[Randy Savage]] using his signature catchphrase of "Oh Yeah!".

Hogan plays an old guy in a bar in ''[[Colma The Musical|Colma: The Musical]]'' (2006) in which he sings and dances about being single. Hogan also starred in a pair of [[television movie]]s, originally intended as a [[television pilot|pilot]] for an ongoing series for TNT, produced by Eric Bischoff. The movies, ''Shadow Warriors: Assault on Devil's Island'' and ''Shadow Warriors: Hunt for The Death Merchant'', starred Hogan alongside [[Carl Weathers]] and [[Shannon Tweed]] as a freelance mercenary team. In 1995, he appeared on [[Trinity Broadcasting Network|TBN]]'s ''Kids Against Crime''.

Hogan made [[cameo appearance]]s in ''[[Muppets from Space]]'', ''[[Gremlins 2: The New Batch]]'' (the theatrical cut), and ''[[Spy Hard]]'' as himself. Hogan was offered the role of [[Zeus]] in ''Little Hercules in 3D'' on an episode of ''[[Hogan Knows Best]]'' and was shown during the filming of the movie. He also had a cameo at the end of the movie ''[[Little Monsters]]''. Hogan also made two appearances on ''[[The A-Team]]'' (in 1985 and 1986), and along with [[Roddy Piper]], Hogan lent his voice for a few episodes of the stop-motion animation skit show, ''[[Robot Chicken]]''. He guest-starred in a two-part episode of ''[[Suddenly Susan]]'' in 1999. In 2001, Hogan guest-starred on an episode of ''[[Walker, Texas Ranger]]'', playing a reformed criminal now operating a Christian Community Center and helping Walker steer teenagers away from gangs.

===Host roles===
Hogan hosts the comeback series of ''[[American Gladiators (2008 TV series)|American Gladiators]]'', which has been picked up for a midseason run on [[NBC]] in 2008.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.sportsfeatures.com/index.php?section=pp&action=show&id=43247|title=Wrestling Legend Hulk Hogan To Host The Return Of Popular Competition Series "American Gladiators" Coming To NBC Midseason|accessdate=2007-10-03|date=October 3, 2007|publisher=Sports Features Communications}}</ref> He also is going to host and judge the reality show, [[Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.reuters.com/article/televisionNews/idUSN0533898420080606|title=Former celebrities compete in CMT wrestling show|accessdate=2008-06-06|date=June 5, 2008|publisher=Reuters}}</ref>

===Music and music video===
Hogan released a music CD, '''Hulk Rules''', as Hulk Hogan and [[The Wrestling Boot Band]]. Also, [[Green Jellÿ]] released a single, a duet with Hogan, performing [[Gary Glitter]]'s classic song "[[I'm the Leader of the Gang (I Am)]]". He has also made cameos in several music videos. The music video for [[Dolly Parton]]'s wrestling-themed love song "Headlock on my Heart" features Hogan as "Starlight Starbright". In the music video "Pressure" by Belly ft. [[Ginuwine]], Hogan and his daughter [[Brooke Hogan|Brooke]] both made brief cameo appearances.

==Endorsements and business ventures==
Hulk Hogan's ''Pastamania'' was a [[restaurant]] in the [[Mall of America]] in [[Bloomington, Minnesota]]. It was created and financed by Hogan. It opened on the [[Labor Day]] weekend of 1995 and was later heavily hyped on [[World Championship Wrestling]]'s live flagship show ''[[WCW Monday Nitro]]'', which actually premiered that September from the mall. The restaurant, which remained in operation for less than a year, featured such dishes as "Hulk-U's" and "Hulk-A-Roos."

In an interview on both the ''Tonight Show'' and ''[[Late Night with Conan O'Brien]]'', Hogan claimed that the [[George Foreman Grill]] was originally offered to him, but he failed to respond in time. George Foreman was called and he chose to endorse the grill instead of a blender. This claim was validated on an episode of ''[[Hogan Knows Best]]'', in which his wife Linda and the family are worried about Hogan's wrestling career and plead with him to take up a career in marketing.<ref>"[[Hogan Knows Best#Season Two|Twilight of A God]]". ''[[Hogan Knows Best]]. May 7, 2006. No. 8, season 2.</ref> Hulk explains about turning down the Foreman grill, and his choice to invest in a shake-mixer instead, saying that whenever he thinks about investing in something "big", he thinks about what happened with the grill and the shake-mixer. However, he has since endorsed a similar product known as "The Hulk Hogan Ultimate Grill". He also has an energy drink, Hogan Energy, distributed by Socko Energy. It was featured in an episode of ''Hogan Knows Best''.

During an interview with ''[[The Sun]]'', Hogan claimed to be planning his own federation to compete against Vince McMahon.<ref name=desperate>{{cite web|url= http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/wrestling/article256127.ece|title=I will defeat desperate Vince|publisher=The Sun|author=Simon Rothstein|accessdate=2007-10-21|date=August 16, 2007}}</ref> Hogan says he has raised $40 million of the $80–$100 million goal and his venture is something that will eventually revolutionize the sport of professional wrestling.<ref name=desperate/>

Hogan recently transferred all trademarks referring to himself to his liability company named "Hogan Holdings Limited". The trademarks include Hulk Hogan, "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, Hulkster, Hogan Knows Grillin, Hulkamania.com, and Hulkapedia.com.<ref name="Moniz">{{cite web|url=http://www.wrestle-complex.com/headlines/judgement_day_08_hulk_hogan_news_ravens_trade.shtml|author=Moniz, Shawn|title=Hogan Transfers Trademarks To Liability Company|publisher=Wrestle-Complex.com|accessdate=2007-11-01|date=November 1, 2007}}</ref>

His name and likeness are also applied to a line of microwavable cheeseburgers and chicken sandwiches sold at [[Walmart]] called "Hulkster Burgers".

His net worth, according to divorce papers made public on September 5, 2008, is estimated to be $26.7 - $32 million.

==Personal life==
On December 18, 1983, Bollea married Linda Claridge (born August 24, 1959). They have a daughter [[Brooke Hogan|Brooke]] (born May 5, 1988) and a son [[Nick Hogan|Nick]] (born July 27, 1990). Bollea made his personal life the centerpiece of the television show ''[[Hogan Knows Best]]'', which includes his two children and his wife.

Bollea's 17 year old son Nick was indicted as an adult on four criminal charges on November 7, 2007. These charges stemmed from an August car accident, which injured John Graziano to the point where he will be in a nursing home the rest of his life. Police have a receipt that shows Bollea purchased beer at an [[Albertsons LLC|Albertsons]], including two cases of [[Miller Lite]] beer, two cases of [[Corona (beer)|Corona]] beer, one case of [[Miller Chill]] beer, and five bags of ice.<ref>[http://www.tbo.com/news/nationworld/MGBPCTGEJ9F.html Racing Evidence Mounts In Crash]</ref> Nick pleaded [[nolo contendere|no contest]] and was sentenced to eight months in jail on May 9, 2008, a sentence which promptly took effect.<ref>[http://search.aol.com/aol/redir?src=websearch&requestId=5f494c3b03279260&clickedItemRank=1&userQuery=nick+bollea%2C+no+contest%2C+eight+months&clickedItemDest=309459919160485110433416866257211588151&clickedItemMark=1220384124778&clickedItemURN=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.people.com%2Fpeople%2Farticle%2F0%2C%2C20198974%2C00.html&title=%3Cb%3ENick+Bollea%3C%2Fb%3E+Gets+%3Cb%3EEight+Months%3C%2Fb%3E+Jail+for+Injury+Accident+-+Crime+%3Cb%3E...%3C%2Fb%3E&moduleId=matchingsites.M.xml&clickedItemPageRanking=1&clickedItemPage=1&clickedItemDescription=web]</ref>

On November 20, 2007, Bollea's wife Linda filed for divorce in [[Pinellas County, Florida]].<ref name=tmzdiv>[http://www.tmz.com/2007/11/23/hulk-and-wife-headed-for-divorce-court/ Hulk and Wife Headed for Divorce Court]. November 23, 2007 ''[[TMZ.com]]''. Accessed 2007-11-23.</ref> Hulk told ''[[St. Petersburg Times]]'' he was not even aware of the filing when the paper called for a comment. The Graziano family's lawyer believes the divorce might be an attempt to divide the family's assets from a planned civil suit against the Bolleas regarding their son, Nick.<ref>{{cite news | last = Rothstein | first = Simon | title = Lawyer: Hulk divorce is a ruse | date = November 28, 2007 | publisher = [[The Sun]] | url = http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/wrestling/article519080.ece | accessdate = 2007-12-03}}</ref>

Linda Bollea was seen with her new 19 year-old boyfriend, whose name is Charlie Hill. They were seen together at the beach and Linda has been buying him gifts and clothes since they started dating. Charlie Hill went to the same high school as her kids, a year ahead of Nick and a year below Brooke.<ref>[http://www.hellarious.com/2008/08/linda-hogan-boyfriend-pictures/ Linda seen with new boyfriend] Hellarious.com Retrieved on August 25, 2008</ref>

Bollea was honored as the 2008 king of the [[Krewe of Bacchus]], a [[New Orleans, Louisiana|New Orleans]] carnival organization.<ref name="autogenerated1">http://www.nola.com/ap/stories/index.ssf?/base/news-36/1197999012220380.xml&storylist=topstories</ref> As Bacchus XL, he joined the ranks of [[Charlton Heston]], [[Jackie Gleason]], and [[Bob Hope]]. Hogan visited the [[Children's Hospital of New Orleans]] and rode in the parade where he threw [[doubloon]]s with his likeness. Hogan received the honor in part because meeting Hogan is one of the most requested "wishes" of the terminally ill children benefited by the Make-A-Wish Foundation.<ref name="autogenerated1" />

Bollea is currently living with his daughter Brooke who currently stars in the [[VH1]] reality series ''[[Brooke Knows Best]]''.<ref>[http://www.wwe.com/inside/industrynews/7733256 WWE: Inside WWE > Industry News > Brooke Hogan issues apology regarding her father Hulk]</ref>

===Theme songs and entrance music===
{{seealso|Music in professional wrestling}}
*Hogan's earliest entrance music was [[Survivor (band)|Survivor's]] "''[[Eye of the Tiger]]''", the chart-topping song from ''[[Rocky III]]''. It was replaced by the theme song to Hogan's animated series ''Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling'' (which was an edited version of [[Bonnie Tyler]]'s song "''Ravishing''" from her [[Secret Dreams and Forbidden Fire]] album)
*It was later replaced by his best-known entrance theme, "''Real American''" performed by [[Rick Derringer]]. It was originally written and used as an entrance theme for the tag team of the [[U.S. Express]] prior to Hogan's use. The accompanying [[music video]] for "''Real American''" featured clips from Hulk Hogan's various WWF matches, Hogan riding his motorcycle, defeating his [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] enemy [[Nikolai Volkoff]], destroying an image of then-hated Colonel [[Muammar al-Gaddafi]], and [[stock footage]] of various forms of crashing (i.e. buildings and airplanes) intersecting between footage of Hogan playing guitar in front of various American landscapes and the American flag. It was critiqued positively on an episode of ''[[Beavis and Butt-head]]''.
*However, as the WWF owned "Real American", Hogan could not use it when he made the jump to [[World Championship Wrestling]], instead he used the song "''American Made''", from the ''[[The Wrestling Boot Band|Hulk Rules]]'' album until he joined the [[New World Order (professional wrestling)|nWo]] and began using their theme, and later the [[New World Order (professional wrestling)#nWo Wolfpac|Wolfpac]] theme. Hogan returned to using "American Made" when he left the nWo in 2000, until his WCW departure. During his time in the nWo, he also used "''[[Voodoo Child (Slight Return)]]''" by [[The Jimi Hendrix Experience]], and then used it again for his "Hollywood Hulk Hogan"; run in WWE.
*Towards the end of his 2003 WWE run, when he wore a mask and was known by the name Mr. America, he once again made his entrance to "''Real American''". Upon his return in 2005 for the [[WWE Hall of Fame]] induction, [[WrestleMania 21]] and subsequent appearances he also uses "Real American".

Nathalie Kay 'Tippi' Hedren (born January 19, 1930)[1][2][3] is an American actress with a career spanning six decades. She is perhaps best known for her role as Melanie Daniels in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, and her extensive efforts in animal rescue at Shambala Preserve, an 80-acre wildlife habitat which she founded in 1983. Hedren is the mother of actress Melanie Griffith, and they share credits on six films, notably Pacific Heights (1990).

Biography

Early life

Hedren was born in New Ulm, Minnesota, the daughter of Dorothea Henrietta (née Eckhardt) and Bernard Carl Hedren.[4] Her paternal grandparents were immigrants from Sweden, and her maternal ancestry was German and Norwegian.[5] Her father ran a small general store in the small town of Lafayette, Minnesota and gave her the moniker "Tippi". "My father thought Nathalie was a little bit much for a brand new baby", Hedren explained at a 2004 screening of The Birds. In the screen test found in the DVD extras, she explains that it is "a Swedish nickname, (short) for Tupsa... meaning 'Little Girl' in a specific Swedish dialect" (not found in dictionary).

As a teenager, Hedren took part in department store fashion shows. Her parents relocated to California while she was still a high school student. When she reached her 18th birthday, she bought a ticket to New York and began a professional modeling career. Within a year she made her film debut (minus dialogue) as a Petty Girl model in The Petty Girl (1950) musical comedy, although in interviews she refers to The Birds (1963) as her first film.[6]

Career

Hedren had a successful modeling career in the 1950s and 1960s. She was discovered by Hitchcock, who was watching The Today Show when he saw Hedren in a diet drink commercial. Hitchcock was looking for an actress who possessed something of the sophistication, self-assurance and cool-blonde sex appeal of Grace Kelly, with whom he had made three films. Hedren, expensively groomed and mentored by Hitchcock, appeared in his films The Birds and Marnie, although it would always be both unfair and unrealistic for an actress to replace Grace Kelly in the minds of both Hitchcock and the public. At the time of the films' releases, she was criticized for being too passive in The Birds and too expressive in Marnie.[7] It took several years before she received respect for her work in both films from American film critics.

At a packed house in Lancaster, California's Antelope Valley Independent Film Festival Cinema Series screening of The Birds on September 28, 2004, Hedren recalled how she was mysteriously selected for a lead role: "I said, 'Well, who is this person? Who is interested?'... Nobody would tell me who it was." It was Alfred Hitchcock, who soon announced his choice of Hedren for The Birds.

Hitchcock put Hedren through a then-costly $25,000 screen test, doing scenes from his previous films, such as Rebecca, Notorious and To Catch a Thief with actor Martin Balsam. He signed her to a multi-year exclusive personal contract, something he had earlier done in the 1950s with Vera Miles. Hitchcock's plan to mold Hedren's public image went so far as to carefully control her style of dressing and grooming. Hitchcock insisted for publicity purposes that her name should be printed only in single quotes -- 'Tippi'. The press mostly ignored this directive from the director, who felt that the single quotes added distinction and mystery to Hedren's name. In interviews, Hitchcock compared his newcomer not only to her predecessor Grace Kelly but also to what he referred to as such "ladylike", intelligent, and stylish stars of more glamorous eras as Irene Dunne and Jean Arthur. Later, Hedren indicated that she didn't want to be known as the next Grace Kelly but rather as the first Tippi Hedren.

Hedren made her debut in The Birds with a wealth of publicity. In a December 1962 Look magazine cover story "Hitchcock's New Grace Kelly", Alfred Hitchcock compared her to his star of To Catch a Thief and Rear Window, saying, "'Tippi' has a faster tempo, city glibness, more humor. She displayed jaunty assuredness, pertness, an attractive throw of the head. And she memorized and read lines extraordinarily well and is sharper in expression."

Hedren said of Hitchcock, "He is subtle as a psychiatrist and never gives displaced encouragement." With the release of the film, she got a very tepid reception, the only exceptions being critic Bob Thomas ("Miss Hedren makes an impressive debut") and Time ("pleasant and ladylike, as Grace Kelly was.") Years after the film's release, she remembered the location work at Bodega Bay as dangerous and taxing, commenting, "For a first film, it was a lot of work."

For the final attack scene in a second-floor bedroom, filmed on a closed set at Universal-International Studios, Hedren had been assured by Hitchcock that mechanical birds would be used. Instead, Hedren endured five solid days of prop men, protected by thick leather gloves, flinging dozens of live gulls, ravens and crows at her (their beaks clamped shut with elastic bands). Cary Grant visited the set and told Hedren, "I think you're the bravest lady I've ever met." In a state of exhaustion, when one of the birds gouged her cheek and narrowly missed her eye, Hedren sat down on the set and began crying. A physician ordered a week's rest, which Hedren said at the time was riddled with "nightmares filled with flapping wings".

The Birds brought her a Golden Globe as Most Promising Newcomer.[8] Premiere magazine chose Hedren's character, Melanie Daniels in The Birds as one of "The 100 Greatest Characters of All Time".

Marnie (1964), a psychological thriller from the novel by Winston Graham, was Hedren's second Hitchcock assignment, co-starring with Sean Connery. She recalls Marnie as the favorite of her two films for Hitchcock because of the central character, an emotionally battered young woman who travels from city to city assuming various guises in order to rob her employers.[9] On release, the film was greeted by mixed reviews and indifferent box-office; over the years, however, it has significantly grown in stature among Hitchcock fans.

Although Hitchcock continued to have Hedren in mind for several other films after Marnie, the actress declined any further work with him. Other directors who wanted to hire her had to go through Hitchcock, who would inform them she was unavailable. "It grew to be impossible. He was a very controlling type of person, and I guess I'm not about to be controlled", said Hedren, who bought out her contract. Ending their professional relationship on a sour note, she recalled, "He said, 'Well, I'll ruin your career.' And he did."[10] Hedren then recorded a couple of songs, "If You were a Carpenter" and "My life without you," which were released in 1966,[11] and guest-starred in a couple of television shows.

Charles Chaplin cast her as the sophisticated, brittle, cheated-upon wife of Marlon Brando in his shipboard comedy A Countess from Hong Kong (1967). She made more than 40 films between 1967 and 2006, including Pacific Heights, Citizen Ruth and I Heart Huckabees. More recently, she has appeared in episodes of The 4400 and Fashion House and the forthcoming thriller Rodeo Girl (2007).

Influence

Hedren's influence on actors and films has surfaced in recent years: A Louis Vuitton ad campaign in 2006 paid tribute to Hedren and Hitchcock with a modern-day interpretation of the deserted railway station opening sequence of Marnie. Her 1963 publicity picture from The Birds was the cover for Jean-Pierre Dufreigne's book Hitchcock Style (2004).[12] In interviews, Naomi Watts has stated that her character interpretation in Mulholland Drive (2001) was influenced by the look and performances of Hedren and Kim Novak in Hitchcock films.[13] Watts and Hedren later acted in I Heart Huckabees (2004) but didn't share any scenes together. Watts is expected to star in the remake of The Birds (1963)[14] and has dressed up as Hedren's title character from Marnie for a photo shoot for March 2008 issue of Vanity Fair magazine.[15] In the same Vanity Fair issue, Jodie Foster dressed up as Hedren's character, Melanie Daniels from The Birds (1963).[16] Michael O'Donoghue, one of the writers of the original Saturday Night Live (1975), praised its star Jane Curtin when he said she had "an icy Tippi Hedren quality" about her.[17] Bridget Fonda, who played Hedren's daughter in the straight-to-cable film Break Up (1998), told her she had watched Marnie "a million times".

Shambala Preserve

May 2006: Shambala benefit stage production of The Birds in Hollywood, California. (L-R) Shambala supporter Don Norte, Veronica Cartwright, playwright David Cerda, Tippi Hedren and Shambala supporter Kevin Norte.

In 1981, Hedren produced Roar, an 11-year project that ended up costing $17 million and starring dozens of African lions.[7] "This was probably one of the most dangerous films that Hollywood has ever seen", remarked the actress. "It's amazing no one was killed." During the production of Roar, Hedren, her husband at the time, Noel Marshall, and daughter Melanie were attacked by lions; Jan de Bont, the director of photography, was scalped. She later co-wrote the book Cats of Shambala (1985) about the experience.

Roar made only $2 million worldwide. Hedren ended her marriage to Marshall a year later in 1982. The film directly led to the 1983 establishment of the non-profit Roar Foundation and Hedren's Shambala Preserve, located at the edge of the Mojave Desert in Acton, California between the Antelope Valley and the Santa Clarita Valley 40 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Shambala currently houses some 70 animals, including African lions, Siberian and Bengal tigers, leopards, servals, mountain lions and bobcats. Hedren lives on the Shambala site and conducts monthly tours of the preserve for the public.

Hedren took in and cared for Togare, a lion that belonged to Anton LaVey, after he was told by San Francisco officials that he couldn't keep a fully grown lion as a house pet. More recently, Shambala became the new home for Michael Jackson’s two Bengal tigers after he decided to close his zoo at his Neverland Valley Ranch in Los Olivos, California. On December 3, 2007, Shambala Preserve made headlines when Chris Orr, a caretaker for the animals, was mauled by a tiger named Alexander.[18]

Several documentaries have focused on Shambala Preserve, including the 30-minute Lions: Kings of the Serengeti (1995), narrated by Melanie Griffith, and Animal Planet's Life with Big Cats (1998), which won the Genesis Award for best documentary in 1999. The animals at the preserve served as the initial inspiration for the life's work of artist A. E. London, who started her career working for Hedren.

Personal life

Hedren met and married actor/producer Peter Griffith in 1952. The marriage lasted until 1961, and produced one daughter, actress Melanie Griffith, in 1957. She married her then-agent Noel Marshall, who later produced three of her films, in 1964; they divorced in 1982. She married businessman Luis Barrenechea in 1985 but divorced him 10 years later. In 2002, she married veterinarian Dr. Martin Dinnes. In a recent LA Times article, Ms. Hedren was described as being a pivotal figure in the modern development of Vietnamese owned nail salons in the US. She was apparently drawn to the plight of Vietnamese refugees from the Vietnam War and in 1975, helped 20 Vietnamese immigrants by having her manicurist teach them the skills of the trade. This single event in history has been cited as the genesis of the modern proliferation of Vietnamese owned nail salons in the US.[19]
