The Hitchcock cameos illustrated

Alfred Hitchcock almost always inserted himself into his movies, not as a proper character or even as a bit player, but simply as a momentary "cameo." Hitchcock.tv has a compilation of those cameos, with (small) illustrations, and with a description so you can identify the scene while watching the movie.

The example here is from the movie Lifeboat. "He once commented to François Truffaut that this particular cameo was one of his most difficult to achieve, due to the lack of passers-by in the film. While having originally considered posing as a body floating past the Lifeboat, after his success in weight loss, Hitchcock decided to pose in Before & After photos for a weight loss drug, shown in a newspaper during the film."
