James Rolfe: Alfred Hitchcock was one of the first movie directors to become universally recognized. In the old days people didn't talk about directors as much as they did the actors. I guess maybe because the actors were in front of the camera – they're the ones people actually see. But Hitchcock himself became a well-known personality. He appeared in the trailers to his movies, speaking to the audience. He made cameos in all his films and he hosted his own long-running TV-show "Alfred Hitchcock Presents".
