(c) Time (22/Jul/1940)


Having taken three inches off his tremendous waistline in the last three months, British Cinema Director Alfred Hitchcock, now down to a mere 250 pounds (from 292), explained how he did it: not just by eating one normal meal a day instead of three huge ones, but by the mental anguish caused by the constant thought of the food he was missing.
