Just watched Robert Osborne's comments after a showing of NbyNW. He mentions Hitch had used blondes for his leading ladies going back to the 1930's and mentions an actress not listed (yet) on this thread but I don't recall it!

I agree, Ingrid Bergman. They made 3 films together,
Spellbound
,
Notorious
and
Under Capricorn
. They remained life long friends and she attended his funeral. I recommend Patrick McGilligan's excellent biography
Alfred Hitchcock: A Life in Darkness and Light
to all Hitchcock fans.

You are well informed.
Here is the beautiful and heroic Madeleine Carroll receiving her Medal of Freedom from the US Army for her service during World War 2:

In my personal opinion Hitchkock never made a better film than the one that starred Madeleine Carroll, "The 39 Steps"(1935).
Anny Ondra, the star of Hitchkock's "Blackmail"(1929) chose exceedingly well when she married boxer Max Schmeling, a hero of the NAZIs who was nevertheless admired and respected by everyone who knew him. Max made his fortune after the war as head of Coca Cola in Germany.
