Ever since she was born, actress Tippi Hedren, a favorite of legendary film director Alfred Hitchcock, has been in love with animals.

"Being around all kinds of animals has greatly enhanced my life," Hedren, the mother of actress Melanie Griffith, tells PEOPLEPets.com from her home on an animal preserve in Acton, Calif.
