For the hair and make up on Hitchcock, I looked at this online interview with the FX make up artists Howard Berger and Peter Montagna, and hair stylist Martin Samuel, who constructed the face mask Anthony Hopkins wore to transform himself into Alfred Hitchcock.
Berger says in response to how they went about transforming Anthony Hopkins into Alfred Hitchcock, that they collected a lot of photos of Hitchcock to work off and also a Hitchcock mask that was made in the 1960's to work from as well. There was some trial and error with testing the mask on Hopkins until coming up with a look that was 'more of a portrait makeup than trying to make him look exactly like Hitchcock'. This takes away the accuracy of Hopkins appearance as Hitchcock but adds to the overall effect of the film.
