Life Imitates Art (Biggie & Hitchcock)

Dog Star knows many Biggie fans worship this hip hop icon who died too young - murdered at the hands of callous thugs.  In the photo below Biggie definitely looks like "The Boss" but it has an unlikely inspiration.  Some fans may not know that the source for this Biggie image is a movie studio photo of British-born director Alfred Hitchcock (more here), who posed for the photo to promote his 1963 film THE BIRDS (more here).
