The following is a list of guest stars and other actors who appeared on the television series Alfred Hitchcock Presents, which started in 1955 as a half-hour show, changed its name to The Alfred Hitchcock Hour when it expanded to an hour, and returned as The New Alfred Hitchcock Presents in the 1980s as an hour-long show.
Apart from his remarkable introductions and conclusions to each episode, Alfred Hitchcock had only one cameo appearance. In the 1958 episode "A Dip In The Pool", he was on the cover of a copy of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine held by one of the actors.
Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, hitchcock, presents, guest and/or stars:
“The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)
“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.”
—Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1980)
“A woman can get marries and her life does change. And a man can get married and his life changes. But nothing changes life as dramatically as having a child. . . . In this country, it is a particular experience, a rite of passage, if you will, that is unsupported for the most part, and rather ignored. Somebody will send you a couple of presents for the baby, but people do not acknowledge the massive experience to the parents involved.”
—Dana Raphael (20th century)
“Time is like a fashionable host,
That slightly shakes his parting guest by the hand,
And with his arms outstretched, as he would fly,
Grasps in the comer: the welcome ever smiles,
And farewell goes out sighing.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The stars are distant and unobtrusive, but bright and enduring as our fairest and most memorable experiences.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
