Vanity Fair's Hitchcock Classics Portfolio



You should have the latest issue of Vanity Fair. Why? Because it includes a set of photo spreads featuring today's Hollywood actors recreating some classic Hitchcock scenes in an article titled "The 2008 Hollywood Portfolio: Hitchcock Classics."

The posters include, The Birds: Jodie Foster, Rear Window: Scarlett Johansson and Javier Bardem, Dial M for Murder: Charlize Theron, North by Northwest: Seth Rogen, Marnie: Naomi Watts, Vertigo: Renee Zellweger, Psycho: Marion Cotillard, Rebecca: Keira Knightley and Jennfer Jason Leigh, To Catch a Thief: Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr.

“What makes these scenes so impressive is that they don’t last long in the movies, but they have become classic,” says photographer Art Streiber, who shot two of the portfolio pictures. “They hold up 50, 60 years later, as stills, without dialogue. You know immediately what it is.”
