 Kim Novak , who worked on Hitchcock 's 1957 Vertigo , disputed Hedren 's ( and the film 's ) view of the director . Novak told The Daily Telegraph , " I feel bad about all the stuff people are saying about him now , that he was a weird character . I did not find him to be weird at all . I never saw him make a pass at anybody or act strange to anybody . " Louise Latham , who played Hedren 's mother in Marnie , dismissed claims of Hitchcock 's predatory nature in Broadcast : " I find some of the allegations hard to believe ... I wasn 't aware of her being hassled on the set . "
