However, there may be one eyewitness description of Sir Alfred's tummy, missing its belly button due to surgery. The quote is from the actress Karen Black, whom Hitch directed in his final film, Family Plot in 1976. It is said to have appeared in the liberal monthly humor review, The Funny Times. In a story by humorist Jon Winokur, Black says Hitchcock “pulled up his shirt to show me his belly button – which he didn't have. He'd had an operation and when they sewed him up, they took it away. His belly button was gone!”
