Tippi Hedren.
She ranks very low on most Hitch ice queen polls at other film forums. Two factors: She was not an established(or even struggling) actress, but a model. Which kind of gives some the impression she had no talent. Number 2: She rejected the sexual advances of Sir H(who fantasized about having an affair with her), which many other Hwood starlets would have jumped at for a part in one of his films.
As far as my personal opinion, I thought she was quite good, and would put her in the top 10. She did follow some really tough acts- Grace Kelly, Eva Marie Saint, Ingrid Bergman, Janet Leigh and even Doris Day, but I think she held her own with those ladies.
And some of his silent era actresses were pretty abyssmal. So Hedren was far from the worst.
