I agree! My favorite actress of all time so humble yet so talented & beautiful both inside & outside strikingly beautiful. No one, not even his grandchildren are as good looking.
I could listen to Audrey speaking for hours, for an introverted person she really knew how to get attention to herself, very smart, very classy. Just an absolutely perfect role model, for people of all ages, gender, religion... it doesn't matter, everybody can learn something from her.
So true, and I hadn't thought about that! I just purchased a blazer dress almost identical to the one she's wearing for return to office. She was just elegance personified.
@@tonymontana4284 What we're seeing here is certainly not her original nose. I don't care if she denied it. Often stars have no issue admitting to botox or face lifts, but rhinoplasty is different.
Unlike so many celebrities and actresses of her time, Audrey always wore minimal jewelry and makeup, as in this video. She never wore an engagement ring, just a simple wedding band and 2 pinkie rings her sons gave her. She realised less is more. Yet she is far classier and more elegant than any other actress--ever.
Oh you are so right, the interviewer was so lost and the way he asked the questions... gosh, she makes up for all his faults so gracefully. It was a pleasure to hear all she had to say and the way she shares her experiences and always keeping her good humor.
@@catnoir-a-saurus He can be all the legend you want in the US, but Audrey Hepburn was a legend in the US plus many other parts of the world, and this guy didn't even get ready for the interview knowing AT LEAST where she is from. So for starters, he totally slipped there. Even "legends" can screw up.
Her husband was the luckiest guy on the planet. And I'm absolutely certain he knew it. Truly one of a kind. That playful quality that only comes from a genuine appreciation for life and the desire to share it with everyone. Can you imagine the joy she brought to the people she touched? It's palpable in her films. It must have bordered on the divine in real life.
Apparently he didn't, some people say Mel was very strict, even though he really cared about her. And Andrea was simply an asshole, he cheated on her with over 200 women, actual number, without any care for media taking pics of them, he jeopardized Audrey's legacy and name. At least in her final years, she found someone that deeply deeply loved her, people say Robert treated Audrey as a princess.
He is a terrible interviewer and obviously did not do his research. She was the epitome of grace ,beauty, class, elegance and patience throughout. A true Angel
I agree, he is a terrible interviewer! He should have done his homework before interviewing such an elegant and classy star! He got the facts wrong, and jumped from one topic to another.
Well. He's Danny K's little daughters husband. Can't stand her. Oh she makes her money by being a fraud at St. Judes. Oh yes Marlo Thomas. ...what a fraud.
@@roshanunwalla108 How adorable that you think the host does the research. Audrey was very elusive for decades. I imagine Phil's show had limited access to only a few interesting facts.
I absolutely agree. The fact that Donahue was the mainstay speaks poorly of our audiences and their collective taste. He was terrible in this interview absolutely terrible. Kramer would have done a better job
In dutch we have a saying : "she was aristocratic in her humility" which is a compliment of course. Audrey, rest in peace our lovely darling dutch girl. ❤️🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
I absolutely love the way she talks and carries herself. I wish women of today would follow her lead. She's so pure and full of grace. RIP Audrey. Forever still making a great impact.
@@bigred8432 😂😂 right.. women today aren’t elegant or graceful. I myself don’t consider myself any of those things as much as I want to. I’m not saying women are trash and disgusting. Society today has warped so many things. I simply was saying that I wish women would look up to Audrey and follow her lead instead of beauty influencers or the Kardashians. Women and men have a lot to learn from Audrey from the way she carries herself, the way she has dealt with her past traumas and the way she appreciated food and the smallest and simple things and her freedom.
Can’t believe they left the most important subject to her (saving children lives) for the very last 30 sec, and then cut her off…shame on them, it shows that even back then hearts were getting cold and focused on money😐 While the most precious we have in this world are children❤️
My favorite thing about this video is the reaction of the audience. They just know they are in the presence of someone who has pure class and a great sense of humor.
That's an understatement, they more than doubled their donations received after she joined, she really changed the game for UNICEF and millions of children around the world, as if she needed to be more perfect than she was already.
Beautiful lady, in mind body and soul. I think she could teach young people today an awful lot about gratitude, class and humility. And a lot more besides.
This lady IS the epitome of elegance, and humanity, in one magical person. Her talents, are brilliant, and many, but her best asset was her love of everyone and everything life had to offer.....Combined with such Grace. RIP you Icon!! xx Love from New Zealand. 11.2020.
The woman, actress, and celebrity I most admire. Class, style, with a heart of gold for children and the less fortunate and needy. A saint, truly, in her own way. Moreso when she got out of Tinsel Land.
A woman with class and style and humility and kindness and exudes so much love that anyone can fall under her spell and we all did, we love her we always will
Can someone remove EVERY current public speaker, government official (except J. Ardern) and just play this instead. The epitome of strength, style, integrity, intelligence.
I remember seeing her movies in 3rd grade, and all her Unicef PSAs, and she always loved children and committed so much of time toward awareness and helping children as refugees or war torn countries, such as I was at one time after the Korean War in reconstruction in Busan. In all her grace, we often forget her own tragedy barely surviving World War 2, which could have been avoided with prudence and involvement instead of isolationism from the start. She barely survived the bombings, in the rubbles, from dance and barely surviving, had complications of child birth into her twenties, with jilted romance and others that a star is more prone. Despite all her travesties and personal struggles, she always seemed so graceful and approachable with deep concern for others, whether in third world countries or advanced. There's only one Audrey Hepburn.
Thank you for posting. I have been looking for this interview for years. So many feels. I saw this when it aired in 1990. I remember her untimely death at 63. My mom saw Audrey and then-husband Mel Ferrer walking out of a NY hotel in 1954.
She wasn't rising, some of Michelle's best films were behind her: Dangerous liasons, The Amazing Baker Boys, Scarface etc. Michelle was a full on star at this time.
@@mtngrl5859 Still, being complimented by Audrey Hepburn is an honor. Specially because contrary to herself, people actually believed she was one the most beautiful girls to ever grace Hollywood, and women specially looked up to her.
@@marcosc9130 Referring to Josephine Mateo's comment not Audrey's, Josephine said that Michelle was a rising star, Michelle at this time (1990) was already a global star. I agree being complimented by Audrey was a honor, Audrey was one of the most iconic stars to grace the screen.
Audrey is just something else, it's actually very hard to not instantly fall in love with her, but it's a completely different feeling from looking at girls like Gal Gadot, I thought is was just me but a lot of guys tell the same, she was almost ethereal, it's as if we don't even have the right to feel any desire for her, only deep admiration. Changed the way I interact with women completely, I always stop and think, how would I treat this girl if she was Audrey Hepburn? It's crazy but it true, she is such a role model to follow in pretty much every aspect of life.
One of the best and most iconic women who appeared in films; Hepburn won a competitive Oscar and was awarded the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Oscar posthumously. She starred opposite the best actors and dancers in the industry, including Astaire, Rex Harrison, Gregory Peck, Gary Cooper, Humphrey Bogart, William Holden, Burt Lancaster, Peter O'Toole, George Peppard, Alan Arkin, Albert Finney, Ben Gazzara, Anthony Perkins, Henry Fonda and Peter Finch. She travelled extensively for UNICEF while in pain from cancer.
What's even more lovely is that in October 1956 issue of Collier's magazine, Ingrid Bergman mentioned four names having God-given gift of great stage personality. She named Audrey last being the youngest among the four. ❤️❤️
@@jsmithmultimediatech , some people think that her fame was in her lovely looks , and her exceptional sense of style - but the truth is , that it was her radiant good humor that made her an icon of the age ! she had a brain and always seemed to use it , to the delight of anyone lucky enough to see her !
Truth that money cant by you class. Audrey had a regalness about her. But classless, not snobbish. A lot of these two a penny so called celebrities should study this beautiful icon
Director William Wyler famously said of Audrey: "What Audrey had you can't learn and you can't teach, God kissed her on her cheek and there she was."
It was billy wilder, director of Sebrina who said that
@@trichardson6436 Yes, I confused Wyler with Wilder
@* * * * * Thank you very much, well sadly my mother has passed on, and I'm sure she is in heaven.
Audrey Hepburn raised the bar for sheer elegance so high that no actress can ever top her.........
So right. Her grace and elegance is unparalleled.
I agree! My favorite actress of all time so humble yet so talented & beautiful both inside & outside strikingly beautiful. No one, not even his grandchildren are as good looking.
Strongly agree
You have to read about islam and in proud to be muslim
@@nnaon7536 What does your statement have to do with this topic?
She was a miracle omg. That grace and humor.
She's hilarious and classy at the same time wow
Indeed, I found myself laughing out loud trough this whole interview. Such a beautiful person
You have to read about islam and in proud to be muslim

Hepburn's look here is timeless. The audience are absolutely rooted in late 80s.
So true, and I hadn't thought about that! I just purchased a blazer dress almost identical to the one she's wearing for return to office. She was just elegance personified.
Nobody is immune. Audrey in the 70's was...Tootsie.
Audrey, meanwhile, would've never been caught dead wearing mighty shoulder pads
Just a stunning and beautiful woman. But I think it was her INNER beauty that reflected outward. Absolutely lovely.❤
What a combination of kindness and elegance rolled into one.
Agreed.
Her voice, her presence, her mannerisms, could there be anyone more genuine, elegant or charismatic than Audrey Hepburn? NO is the answer.
She was an angel
She's so fun, so smart, so quick-witted! Not to mention her elegance, talent and kindness. She was wonderful, and will be forever
She was delightful to listen to, what a great woman
and to watch!
Omg I could listen to her voice all day! #LoveAudrey
60 years old and absolutely gorgeous
No botox or plastic surgery, amazing.
I think she died at the age of 63 from cancer , too young , she was a beautiful woman inside and out
@@tonymontana4284 What we're seeing here is certainly not her original nose. I don't care if she denied it. Often stars have no issue admitting to botox or face lifts, but rhinoplasty is different.
What a beauty, so classy, elegant, intelligent with a huge heart 💕
She would die only 3 years after this interview? Shocking. she was an angel
I met her when she was on CNN doing an interview..she looked like an angel in person, with a beautiful aura. She will never be replaced.
Chain smoking from age 14 will do that do you. Sad she never quit...
She looked amazing here, really like an angel.
? ? ?What was Audrey like in person when you met her
@@DDumbrille oddly, there are no casual pictures or videos of her (off screen) with a cigarette in her hand!!!

She is so tense when she talked about wartime
and for good reason, her parents, although in separation, were active Hitler's Nazis.
Audrey Hepburn is with the lord in Heaven. She had the face of an Angel had the kind heart of a Saint. Dedicated her life helping the less fortunate.
Everytime someone tries to get her to criticize, she never takes the bate.
Lovely and classy always!
I totally agree with you. It speaks volume of Miss Audrey Hepburn's character. She was a class act and a consummate professional
Her husband was the luckiest guy on the planet. And I'm absolutely certain he knew it. Truly one of a kind.

@@marcosc9130 Yes, I think her last partner was such a good match for her. If only she met him earlier.
Audrey was a class act and an angel that heaven has now God Bless you
She is so marvelous, elegant, humble, and nice... I can´t imagine someone not liking her.
The thing with Audrey is that not only I’m so impressed with her elegance but somehow she managed to top that with her inner modesty.
Who knew she had such a great sense of humor? Love Ms Audrey Hepburn!
A great sense of humor is tied closely with intelligence, which she was! Beauty plus brains
Audrey was a once in a lifetime person. Gifted, humble and truly unforgettable. Just a wonderful lady.
How I wish Audrey were still here ❤
He is a terrible interviewer and obviously did not do his research. She was the epitome of grace ,beauty, class, elegance and patience throughout. A true Angel
Terrible lol? Phil Donahue was such a mainstay for daytime TV, a class act in that era even if the topics could go off the rails.
I agree, he is a terrible interviewer! He should have done his homework before interviewing such an elegant and classy star! He got the facts wrong, and jumped from one topic to another.

Audrey was born in Belgium.

She was a true lady
She has the absolute charm and character of the best you would ever want as a human being. Love her.
She's adorable! And just pure grace, elegance, and yet genuine modesty.
She is just so beautiful, witty and warm. Life goals, be more like Audrey.
.
Her sense of humor probably got her through a ton of trials and hard times.
So eloquent and elegant. Exudes immense class and stunning beauty.
I adore everything about her
Yes, even her insecurities because it has made her strive to be more than ordinary and stay humble.
This is the first interview I've ever seen of Audrey, and she is just as captivating as she was in my favorite film of hers, Roman Holiday.
My favorite thing about this video is the reaction of the audience. They just know they are in the presence of someone who has pure class and a great sense of humor.
So...true.🕊
She handled the fan interest and media so gracefully. Love just listening to her voice.
She Is so special. A very rare human being . A gift to the rest of us ! Thank you, Audrey
A classy intelligent generous-of-heart lady.
RIP sweet lady
Rest in peace

Sometimes angels become humans to help humans become angels.💖💫💮.55.
What a beautiful quote ♡
I wrote what I heard from above. And it was a womans voice.
I’m sure the same applies to Princess Diana
Childhood trauma makes some people bloom to more than normal.
That's so nice.....how did you hear it? In your mind, or with your ears?
A masterclass lesson in elegance and humility right here! There will NEVER be another like her!
She is polite, cute, humourous and charming. UNICEF was lucky to have her helping them
That's an understatement, they more than doubled their donations received after she joined, she really changed the game for UNICEF and millions of children around the world, as if she needed to be more perfect than she was already.

The only word to describe her is perfection.
What a remarkable lady.
poop yo pants big old grandma pants
Beautiful, talented and - most of all - caring. I admire her so much.
I love and idolize her. Always have and always will. She is the epitome of elegance, grace, beauty, and wisdom. No one else comes close!
Wow she aged so gracefully. Still so beautiful here.
The most beautiful human being to ever live, both inside & out 💕🙏 What an amazing and talented actress she was. She had the biggest heart 💖
We need women like her today
I LOVE HER. One of a kind, the incarnation of beauty and elegance.
What an amazing person, I have tears in my eyes hearing her speak of her childhood
So classy well rounded and no one in Cinema today could even come close to her.

Such beauty and grace. RIP beautiful lady.
She describes the horrors wrought on her family with great dignity and strength.
Audrey Hepburn is one wonderful person and actress. Thank you.
There should be a picture of Audrey Hepburn in the dictionary to define elegant. She was such an impressive human. May her memory be eternal
This was a class act, she was kind about everyone. Even her father who deserted the family and it has an affect on her the rest of her life.
Ms Hepburn as Sister Luke in "The Nun" is one of my favorite movies of all time. She was absolutely spectacular.
One of my fav movies, she was excellent!! I love Audrey, she left us too soon, only 63 - RIP
I love that movie - she's amazing in it!!
I watched it a couple of days ago. Great movie and one of Audrey´s best perfomances.
"The Nun's Story" was the name of movie.
A woman with class and style and humility and kindness and exudes so much love that anyone can fall under her spell and we all did, we love her we always will
Audrey is precious and I must give Phil Donahue props for being a great interview,er, not interrupting her, and truly allowing her to shine. 😍
Can someone remove EVERY current public speaker, government official (except J. Ardern) and just play this instead.
The epitome of strength, style, integrity, intelligence.
I remember seeing her movies in 3rd grade, and all her Unicef PSAs, and she always loved children and committed so much of time toward awareness and helping children as refugees or war torn countries, such as I was at one time after the Korean War in reconstruction in Busan. In all her grace, we often forget her own tragedy barely surviving World War 2, which could have been avoided with prudence and involvement instead of isolationism from the start. She barely survived the bombings, in the rubbles, from dance and barely surviving, had complications of child birth into her twenties, with jilted romance and others that a star is more prone. Despite all her travesties and personal struggles, she always seemed so graceful and approachable with deep concern for others, whether in third world countries or advanced.

Audrey Hepburn is a wonderful person, if we all could be so.
Aubrey had no idea she was the most Beautiful woman of her time!!
She’s such a wonderful soul. I adore her ♥️
So sad to know that she died just 3 years after this wonderful interview. So very sad.
Love Audrey. so sweet, smart and sharp...and beautiful.
Phil is such a great host and interviewer. One of the best EVER.
I love how Audrey Hepburn found Michelle Pfeiffer beautiful. That has to be a huge compliment especially since Michelle was a rising star at the time.
