Actress Tippi Hedren, Star of Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds”, Talks About Her Shambala Preserve with Al Cole!

August 19, 2011 by

[HTML1] We all know Tippi Hedren as the actress who lit up the screen in Alfred Hitchcock’s classic movie, The Birds! Tippi’s performance was riveting, absorbing, elegant! Tippi went on to receive a Golden Globe Award for her perfomance in The Birds; numerous “Best Actress” and Life Achievement Awards; a Woman of Vision Award; and in 2003 Tippi received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!

Since 1983, a major part of Tippi’s efforts has gone into The Shambala Preserve and the ROAR Foundation. Currently the Shambala Preserve is home to over 80 exotic felines rescued from abusive situations, and brought to the facility to live out their lives peacefully and naturally. Tippi is not only an outstanding actress, she’s a lover of life! … and a lover of dignity!

Tippi is also an advocate for life and dignity! She co-authored and passed the “Captive Wildlife Safety Act” and is active with an extraordinary Bill currently before Congress: the “Federal Ban on Breeding Exotic Cats for Personal Possession Act.”

In the words of interviewer Al Cole: “I applaud Tippi’s sensitivities as an actress, and even more as a human being. In my opinion, exotic animals should certainly not be housed for profit, they should be cared for and loved. Responsible supervision is not only a mark of compassion, I believe any other direction that a human takes toward exotic animals is in fact unconscionable. I believe that all animals are sacred; all living, breathing creatures should be harbored under the protection of God’s umbrella”.

About Al Cole

Al Cole, “Mr. Romance,” has lived some life, and has paid some dues. Al, an African-American man(don’t let the blue eyes fool ya!), is the product of a very loving, very special, romantic mother and father. From the earliest age Al related to that generous, loving, romantic spirit that was nurtured in him.

Al has also seen oppression. Oppression can sometimes breed sensitivity and empathy. This aspect of living has caused Al to relate to women even more sensitively and empathetically. A sensitivity and empathy that Al calls “Romance.” Creativity rounds out the character. Al is a born and professional entertainer. Through Al’s singing and songwriting, his CBS Radio broadcasting, and through the depth of his voice, Al has learned many ways to deliver his “Romance” message—seriously, comically, sensually and spiritually. He has carried the Romantic word out to women…and to men too. And in the carrying of that message, Al has found that women and men from all backgrounds have often asked for his advice and guidance concerning their familial and romantic relationships.

Al has been particularly blessed to have women confide some of their deepest personal and relationship secrets to him. These “secrets” coupled with his own experiences and intuitions have combined in his offering both women and men some of the most powerful, enlightening, and mind-challenging guidance that they say they have ever received.

Al has been told over and over again by his fans, fans who affectionately call themselves “Al Cole-holics”, that his reflections, as well as his romantic words, could fill a book. The reflections, the romance, and the “secrets” have now been revealed in Al’s new book Romance for Women…& For All Mankind!

Al is also the Host of Al Cole: People of Distinction on WomensRadio. Al Cole: PEOPLE Of DISTINCTION is a unique show giving distinctive public figures the chance to talk not only about their great public accomplishments, but also notable aspects of themselves as individuals...what motivates them to create the things they do, their special goals and interests, their insights into life itself!
