On this web page, you'll meet the characters Audrey
portrayed. You'll also see "fresh" photographs and image captures
as time and space permit. To get the "feel" of what she's like, however, I strongly suggest
you watch her in moving pictures because they are the closest you
and I will ever get to knowing the fair lady, the actress! On her life and
humanitarian legacy, you can turn to
The Official Audrey Hepburn Website,
the UNICEF,
and at least a dozen book biographies as well as the fan websites devoted to Audrey. You might even stumble into a static page such as this one.
But, once you've seen her in moving pictures, I'm sure you'll agree that her natural
poise and grace, magical charms and wit are a class all its own to witness
and behold. Her style of acting is instinctive and very
subtle. You must experience Audrey through her films. One fellow
fan says: "Falling in love with Audrey Hepburn is an essential civilizing
experience...."
Roman Holiday, her first film with Paramount, is one
excellent movie to start on. It tops my list of favorites followed closely
by
The Nun's Story,
Breakfast at Tiffany,
Funny Face,
My Fair Lady,
Two for the Road,
Sabrina,
Charade,
Robin and Marian,
Wait Until Dark,
Love in the Afternoon,
The Children's Hour,
The Unforgiven,
How to Steal a Million,
War and Peace,
Always, and the hauntingly beautiful story of
The Green Mansion. To fully appreciate the last, you must read W.H.
Hudson's classic.
