I believe he was afraid his identity may be stolen after he was wrongly mistaken as a criminal in his younger days and imprisoned

That's not the answer I'm looking for.

 

[Peterthegreat]

I admit that I've asked Mr W Pedia, although he doesn't give a straight answer. However, he does say that Hitchcock didn't like blondes or, indeed, women, so is blonde women the answer?

Open stage if I'm right.

Sorry.

Huevos - eggs!!

Si. Eggs indeed!
“I'm frightened of eggs, worse than frightened, they revolt me. That white round thing without any holes … have you ever seen anything more revolting than an egg yolk breaking and spilling its yellow liquid? ... But egg yolk is yellow, revolting. I've never tasted it.”
