Bernard Carl Hedren

"[Actor and activist Tippi] Hedren was born on January 19, 1930, in New Ulm, Minnesota, to Bernard Carl and Dorothea Henrietta (née Eckhardt) Hedren. For much of her career, Hedren's year of birth was reported as 1935. In 2004, however, she acknowledged that she was actually born in 1930 (which is consistent with the birth registration index at the Minnesota Historical Society). Her paternal grandparents were Swedish immigrants, while her maternal ancestry is German and Norwegian. Her father ran a small general store in the town of Lafayette, Minnesota, and gave her the nickname 'Tippi.' When she was four, she moved with her parents to Minneapolis." (Wikipedia)
