Yes, I heard she did that when Hitchcock told her that "actors are like cattle!"But notice how Hitch's best films (and I was about to except "Frenzy" but that film really depends on the "Enghish-ness" of its cast) depend on which cow, er, actor he places in his lead? Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant, Henry Fonda, Joseph Cotten, Ingrid Bergman, Tony Perkins, and of course, Grace Kelly. Who else could have played the roles they did? Hitch may have thought actors were cattle, but you see he tried to always have the best cows in his films!

Well you cited only the actors of his US period, all but Cary Grant Americans.
See the one he had in his first English period.
Not bad!
