Alfred Hitchcock(1899-1980)

[Cameo] Often has a quick cameo in his films. He eventually began making his appearances near the beginning because he knew viewers were watching for him and he did not want to divert their attention away from the plot. Some of his live cameo appearances include El enemigo de las rubias (1927) (in the newspaper office); Alarma en el expreso (1938) (on the station platform); Inocencia y juventud (1937) (outside of the courthouse); 39 escalones (1935) (on the street); Asesinato (1930) (on the street); Chantaje (1929) (on the subway); and Vida Alegre (1927) (near the tennis court). Some of his non-live appearances include Náufragos (1944) (in a newspaper ad); Crimen perfecto (1954) (in a class reunion photo); La soga (1948) (his caricature appears on a neon sign); and La trama (1976) (a silhouette against a frosted glass door).
