Ruby Rose is Gotham’s new caped crusader

By JEFF PFEIFFER Although Australian actress Ruby Rose made a memorable Arrowverse debut as Kate Kane — a.k.a. Batwoman — in last year’s crossover event among The CW’s several DC Comics-inspired superhero series, she now gets to shine in her own show. As Arrowverse fans prepare to say farewell to the series that started it all, Arrow, which begins its final season this month, they can say hello to this similarly fun series with hints of darkness about a masked hero who takes to the streets to fight crime. Of course, a setup like that is also familiar to fans of Batman, and this series does take place in the Caped Crusader’s hometown of Gotham. But Batman/Bruce Wayne has been mysteriously missing for three years as Batwoman begins (Sunday, Oct. 6 on The CW), and criminal gangs are again running rampant with no Dark Knight to stop them. Even the military-grade Crows Private Security firm run by Kate’s father, Jacob Kane (Dougray Scott), can only do so much when a psychotic supervillain named Alice (Rachel Skarsten) — who has a thing for Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland stories and is as off-the-rails as the Mad Hatter of those tales — threatens the city. Eventually, Kate — who returns to Gotham to

help however she can after Alice kidnaps Kate’s exgirlfriend Sophie Moore (Meagan Tandy) — inadvertently learns the secret identity of her cousin Bruce Wayne after discovering his Batcave. With the reluctant aid of Wayne’s security expert Luke Fox (Camrus Johnson), Kate fashions herself into a new hero for Gotham — Batwoman (not to be confused with Batgirl; the two are separate characters in the DC universe). “That suit is literal perfection,” Fox objects when Kate asks him to adapt the Batsuit for her. “It will be,” Kate counters, “when it fits a woman.” Onscreen, Rose clearly has a blast wearing that outfit, designed for the series by four-time Oscar winner Colleen Atwood, and the actress recently recalled the thrill that comes from donning it even when cameras aren’t rolling. “I still remember putting it on for the first time with Colleen,” Rose said, “and it’s just a magical feeling. ... This thing has been — like, within an inch of its life, it just fits me like a glove. ... You feel the transformation, it’s unlike any costume I’ve ever put on in any role in my life. ... You literally feel faster and stronger and bulletproof. And you are like, ‘But I’m not, am I?’ ... It’s just very difficult to pee in, that’s all.”

Catching up with ... Tippi Hedren Still stunningly lovely at age 87, actress Tippi Hedren now devotes most of her time to Shambala Preserve, the exotic-feline sanctuary she has helped fund since 1983 to further walk the talk of her 45-year passion for saving big cats. But Hedren — mom to actress Melanie Griffith (Working Girl) and grandmother to actress Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey) — still takes an acting job now and then, if the project appeals. And she’s well aware that you will never stop thinking of her as the tormented blond beauty in Alfred Hitchcock’s legendary 1963 thriller The Birds. What you may not know is that the torment was equally harrowing offscreen, as the then 32-year-old ingenue — born Nathalie Kay Hedren in New Ulm, Minn. — gratefully accepted Hitchcock’s mentorship but refused his love, setting in motion years of physical and psychological abuse and a power struggle that would ultimately define their careers and then ruin them. Abuse she fearlessly chronicled in her 2016 memoir Tippi, after allowing the tale to be told in HBO’s 2012 original film The Girl. We caught up with Hedren to talk Hitchcock and her very personal Hollywood horror story. How badly did Hitchcock underestimate the young woman who showed up on his set? Tippi Hedren: Well, that wasn’t my first rodeo, as the saying goes. [Laughs] My parents had given me a very wonderful background in philosophies and morals and what is right — and to hold firmly to what is right and do it. So that protected me when I was a fashion model in New York and when I was doing commercials and when I traveled all around the world by myself. The career in commercials was so

successful that I took six months off and toured the world, which was fantastic! Alma Reville (Hitchcock’s wife) was aware of her husband’s boorish and abusive nature. Why do you think she stayed mum? She had lived through this kind of situation over and over and over. Their marriage was an enigma to everyone. What is that relationship? I don’t know that many people did know — or will ever know. But, at one time, she came to me and said, “I’m so sorry you have to go through this,” and I just looked at her and said [drops her voice to an intense whisper], “But you can stop it! Just STOP it!” Did you ever consider dropping out of the film? No, no, no — never! The filming

wasn’t dealt with at that time, how it manifests itself in adult life. And this is a fairly new observation. When we did the movie, it was not even heard of on general levels.

When Marnie wrapped, Hitchcock didn’t use you again, but refused to terminate your contract. Devastating? It was so easy for him. He paid me $600 a week for almost two years, then gave the contract to Universal who wanted me to do a television show I didn’t think I would be right for. They said, “Well, if you don’t do it, you’re out of this contract,” and I went [thrusts out her hand] “Shake on it!” Two weeks later, Charlie Chaplin called me directly to ask if I would play Marlon Brando’s wife in A Countess From Hong Kong. So I was back, but it Keystone/Getty Images wasn’t a lead role. From what I understand, Hitchcock almost had a heart atactually was never that much of a tack when he heard. problem. [The harassment] became a problem after three or four days, and Do you still think about what you then it became horrible. But making might have accomplished in those movies is fun! It’s extremely satisfying two years? and enjoyable, actually doing the No. But I would hear years later work. It was the surrounding situa- how such and such producer or directions that made it so difficult. And tor wanted to use me. To get to me, there were really wonderful times — they had to go through him — and he because there had to have been some said, “She isn’t available.” So easy. Just, or I wouldn’t have stuck with it as long “She isn’t available.” The one that reas I did. ally hurt the worst was François Truffaut wanted me for his Fahrenheit You agreed to make Marnie after 451 and I didn’t even know about it.
