TMZ’s “‘Memba ____?” feature––in which the tablog points to a recent picture of a faded star and asks that we mock them for not pacting with the devil to ensure eternal youth––is always noxious, but this installment on Tippi Hedren is particularly vile, considering that TMZ considered Hedren a legitimate gossip target just three months ago. Are our, uh, membories really that short-lived?- At GreenCine Daily, David D’Arcy weighs in on three films to have their New York premieres at New Directors/New Films.
