Is it true Alfred Hitchcock was born without a belly button?!

Is it true Alfred Hitchcock was born without a belly button?

or are my friends just pulling my chain? and also if it is true, how did it happen to be that way? enlighten me

Possibly. One eyewitness claims that Hitchcock showed her his stomach, which was missing a belly button due to surgery. Here's a link with some more info on this: http://www.dcmsoft.com/rumor/story/other...

This link says it's just a bizarre urban legend: http://hitchcock.tv/hfaq/faq.html...

And this link supports the theory that his belly button was missing in later years due to surgery: http://www.avon.k12.in.us/ams_media/hitc...

Hope this helps! :-)
