TIPPI HEDREN - HEDREN RELIEVED TIGER ATTACK VICTIM IS OK
 
 
LATEST: Veteran actress TIPPI HEDREN has spoken of the horror that washed 
over her after hearing an employee at the big cats sanctuary she founded had been 
attacked by a tiger. A four-year-old, 450 pound (204 kilograms) Bengal tiger, 
called Alexander, pounced on caretaker Chris Orr at the Shambala Preserve in 
California earlier this month (Dec07). And The Birds star Hedren, whose 
daughter is Melanie Griffith, is grateful Orr not only survived his injuries but is 
expected to make a full recovery. She says, "The tiger was lying on his back 
and he was rolling around. All of a sudden he looked over and he saw one of the 
caretakers who was bending over, because when you clean you have to bend 
over. "And that's something these cats can't resist. When you're below the height 
of a tiger you can very easily become a prey or a toy, neither of which you 
want to become." Hedren insists Orr's only major injury was a broken jaw - 
thanks to "a wonderful man" who saved the caretaker from a messy death. She adds, 
"The injuries (sustained) were a broken jaw, a number of wounds in the neck, 
and wounds in other places on his body. But the wound to his jaw was the only 
really severe injury. "(Fortunately), we have a wonderful man who jumped right 
in and saved Christopher's life."
