Tippi Hedren loves cats

Tippi hasn't really been a headline-making celeb for a few years, but anyone who loves animals and has worked with everyone from Alfred Hitchock to Ed Wood will always be A-list in our book. Tippi recently visited a school to tell students about the Shambala Preserve, a nature preserve she maintains and on which she lives, all for the benefit of 70 rescued exotic cats.

The visit was more than your usual celebrity photo opp. Many of the students witnessed police shoot and kill a displaced pet tiger in February at Miller Park. Tippi told the children that exotic cats are not family pets and gave other info about her preserve.
