About the Artist: Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1980) was born and raised in England. By the time he moved to the United States in 1939 and became a citizen, he had already directed successful psychological thrillers. Major films include Rear Window (1954), Psycho (1960), Rebecca (1940), and Frenzy (1972). He always appeared in his own films in a nonspeaking cameo role. In addition to directing films, Hitchcock hosted two television series, Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1959–1962) and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour (1963–1965).
