Hedren has previously made appearances on her daughter's social media pages as well. In 2022, Griffith shared a sweet photo of herself and Hedren embracing each other on a couch while sharing her gratitude for her mom.

\"Thankful that my Mom is still here with us,\" she wrote in the caption at the time.

Hedren first rose to fame for her role as Melanie Daniels in Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 film \"The Birds.\"

Known for her philanthropy work, she has devoted her time to charity and has worked with relief programs to help those affected by earthquakes, hurricanes, famine and war throughout her life.

Hedren is also an animal rights activist and currently serves as the founder and president of the Roar Foundation, which supports the Shambala Preserve in Acton, California.
