"Psycho gave me very wrinkled skin. I was in that shower for seven days - 70 setups. At least, he made sure the water was warm." - Janet Leigh.

How far Scarlett Johansson will go in the quest for realism we are yet to see, but here's a clue: stills from the soon to be released Hitchcock. Scarlet looks pretty Janet Leighlike.

The film focuses on the director's relationship with his wife, Alma Reville, during the filming of Psycho.

Hitch is played by Anthony Hopkins, Alma by Helen Mirren. The divine Jessica Biel plays the heavenly Vera Miles (check her out on IMDB, a black and white babe) James D'Arcy is Anthony Perkins.

Let's finish with another quote from Leigh on what separated Alfred from the herd.

When asked if it was true that she didn't take showers: "It`s actually, honestly true. And not because of the shooting of it. It was the seeing of it. It never dawned on me how truly vulnerable we are. But that`s what he did. A shower. A bird. All these things that are absolutely ordinary, he made extraordinary."

1. Horribly opinionated on every subject, no matter how trivial.
2. Terrified of hurting anyone’s feelings, even those of Tom Cruise.

Lydia walks a tightrope.
