Her face is literally the epitome of beauty and grace. Her facial bone structure is impressive. Audrey Hepburn is a human at its best, at its most finest. But her inner beauty is twice more beautiful than her outside appearance.
God yes, the expressiveness in her face as she answers the questions, ending with that dazzling smile, was like a message from the heavens saying "this is a star".
The way she turned sad when talking about the war was not acting. She worked for the Dutch underground and nearly starved to death the last winter of the war.
why do people always bash other actresses? Yes Audrey was lovely, so was Marilyn, but they are so different and special in their own right so don't compare them....
She had more affairs than Monroe. Marilyn. Didn't have affairs and was the first to deny the casting couch. She suffered bad pay PR movie selection and was ruined. Audrey got the opposite. Hollywood has a formula and the only way she and some others became so successful was by sleeping with studio heads. . Monroe lonely her makeup man said shed read a lot or sleep or call him and chat and chat. Loads of lies made as soon as she died. LOADS. Just because of her background. She did loads of charity. Audrey had connections so high that is why no one spread the info out. William holden and many other actors even when SHE was married. People need to research instead of being sheep.
+Coco Pops I find it interesting that Sean Ferrer never seems to hide the fact that his mother had affairs. I think he even commented on it a couple of times. By the way, what "research" or proof have you found that Hepburn had more affairs than Monroe?
It is quite simple really. Hollywood had and still has a formula. The casting couch allows you to get the best PR pay and movie selection. Audrey wasn't very talented but got to the top. Monroe received the opposite and was loathed by fox so was ruined. She was genuinely mobbed yes but her own studios ruined her. Audrey and others however were not thrown to doctors and psychiatrists to be used as a test mouse. You also need to look into charities. Monroe did it immediately and gave literally all her money away to those in need whereas Hepburn Kelly Taylor etc did nothing but live materialistic lives. I find it so funny that they came back to promote bogus charities and got rep boosts and big paychecks. That is how charities worked after the seventies. Bob geldof and others did the same. Recently kids company was exposed but big ones like UNICEF oxfam red cross (the ones in different countries and very established) have yet to be exposed. These so called charities raise so much and then the money disappears and no change is made. Paul Newman and Monroe did real charity. Back when it wasn't paying them! The proof is in the pudding. Monroe got the worst treatment. Had she slept with her studios she would have been alive and would have had the classy label. Audrey and others got the best treatment because they agreed. They were able to sleep with married men too. Holden and peck were two men. With Monroe it was only montand and Curtis who claimed she slept with them which is untrue. Everyone knew she loathed Curtis and knew montand was looking for attention because he was not that known. You need to look up mkultra. If anything Monroe was raped by not only the Kennedys but also Sinatra. The latter even took images and showed his friends. Monroe was given the worst fate at birth but she did good with it and had more morals than the majority of Hollywood. Clothes do not equate class your actions do
Not really. I have spoken to some people who worked in Hollywood at the time. They were not in bed with these people nor was I so I find it funny how people like yourself want images or something like that to prove affairs. What affairs has Sean agreed to? I don't use the biographies much because they parrot the same lies over and over.
In another interview, she shares that she did a horrible job on the scene. But then the director just graciously called to her to come and sit and asked her questions about her life and got her talking about things she knew about /cared about and it took her mind off of how nervous she was. And all her incredible grace and charm comes through. Thank goodness for people who see our potential!
How could someone be so effortlessly poised, beautiful and graceful at the same time? Seriously, I'm not into celebrity culture much but she was-incredible.
andeace23 I'm 3 years late. To answer your question, besides ballet, AH was the daughter of a Baroness, which makes her an aristocrat. She was very highly educated, spoke five languages. It also explains her beautiful accent and speaking voice. She was no accident.
You can see how truthful and real she is.Her expressions show how painful the war was to her. She went through a lot in her life and certainly earned her wings for sure.
Hearing her speak, I started to tear up a little. She's just so kind and graceful. I grew up loving her films and will always look up to her as a role model. The way she talks and walks, everything about her is incredible
That sly grin when she says "they (the Germans) didn't know about it," I'm sure won the hearts of everyone in that room, as well as mine. So beautiful!
She knew that she was being recorded on this part of the test because you hear him say 'wonder down here, without your hands in your pockets so we can make a nice close-up of you'. However, when she was actually reading for the part, they continued recording after the director said 'cut' so that they could see her real personality. There is a picture of her laughing that you can see on Google images of her when she didn't know it was recording. Type in 'Audrey Hepburn screen test' and voila!
Her beauty and elegance is absolutely mesmerizing. One cannot comprehend how a human being could be so beautiful! She gives me goose bumps whenever I watch her!
In her autobiography she said that during the war her family was so desperate to eat that her mother baked a loaf of mud mixed with grass. When the American soldiers came they gave chocolate to the children and ever since she had a small piece of chocolate daily for the rest of her life.
Dear god, there was never anybody so beautiful on this earth; perfection incarnate. I'd put up with living before technology just for the chance to see her from a distance in Paris in the 50s. I'm definitely not the first to have such an obsession, but Audrey was the goddess of everyman's dreams. Absolute, beauty. It's hard to even tell the truth about feelings I feel when I watch her movies. Born in the wrong Century.
I've recently come to realize that if I could make my wishes come true, via time machine or being in heaven or whatever, one of the top ones is to be with Audrey Hepburn.
Audrey is a one off. Beautiful face, wonderful speaking voice. I've just watched Roman Holiday on the television and without fail it makes me laugh and breaks my heart at the end. Did so want her and Gregory Peck to go off together.
Suggest reading "A Dutch Girl" by Robert Matzen as it mentions this interview and it describes the incredible hardships that were not just "pretty awful" during her formative years. I just loved how she lit up with a broad, mischievous smile when asked why the Germans didn't stop her performing to collect money for the Underground - "They didn't know about it!"
Great actress,one of the most beautiful women that has ever lived,collected money for the underground,under the nazi's noses(which if caught she would have been shot).Became an advocate for children later in life,and DID IT ALL WITH CLASS AND MODESTY! If only hollywood followed her example today! )
Some facial expressions are alike between NP and AH Audrey's beauty is captivating in a different way She seems not to be distracted by the fact she is in the center of attention walks gently towards the chair. With her eyes to the ground, smiling childlike. Which shows a certain amount of rare innocence She looks at the interviewer with intensity talks in a charming manner yet truthful This human being is a gift for our age to look at and for all time to remember this is Audrey Hepburn
One of the amazing things, to me at least, is that as remarkably beautiful as she is, she never thought she was pretty. I certainly prefer Audrey to Norma Jean
And what exactly is wrong about knowing you're pretty? It's lame to prefer one woman than another just because she is aware of her attractiveness. It's fine if you don't like Marilyn, but it's foolish to think she was worse because she acknowledged her beauty.
LOL maybe I am, but people tend to always put them together like Audrey is better for "x" reason and Marilyn is bad for being sexual and whatnot. I just don't like when people say things like that. Hopefully you know what I'm talking about!
This IS part of the original screen test, given by an English director working off written instructions from the American director William Wyler, who had met Hepburn very briefly -- for five minutes. He instructed the Englishman, Thorold Dickerson, that after the formal part of the test in costume and make-up, Hepburn should change into her own clothes and be informally interviewed about her own life. She was not to know the camera was still running; and she didn't. You see her career starting.
Does anyone know if you can watch the part of the screen test in which she plays scenes from the film, notices the camera is still rolling after the scenes have ended and laughs about it ? I've heard a lot about it in books about Audrey but only saw this part of the screen test when she answers questions about the war in Holland. i wonder if the other part is protected by some rights or sth
Audrey Hepburn Too bad ! Well, at least it's good to know it exists maybe it will be published again :) I've seen pics of it recently that's why I got curious. Thanks for your answer !
check the Video archive if you live in the uk you can search it online and download it for a small charge about £1.50 inc tax and you can get allot of information on Audery Hepburn and other uk citizens this is available only in the uk i think because Audery had a British citizenship! LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!
I have searched it a lot and began to considering this interview as the supposed "filming after saying cut" and the way books tells it vary in ways, but i am not sure! it makes me wonder why they could protect the scenes that way and are not publicly? I can't figure it out. Here there is some description I found long ago and made me think this way, Its Thorold Dickinson, director who interviewed Audrey in this video: www.openculture.com/2012/01/audrey_hepburns_screen_test_for_iroman_holiday.html I'll keep serching for those scenes, anyway!
she is so natural beautiful, she had a good personality, she is so generous, humble and beautiful innocent face, I think she should be the candidate of the most beautiful women of this century
at least we...simple mortals..have this films, her films..to see real class, glamour, courage, elegance, and a women out of any possible classification. I , personally, found no words to classify her...but every time I see Audrey, in a film or documental..my soul is full of joy. No kidding. carlos
Her face is literally the epitome of beauty and grace. Her facial bone structure is impressive. Audrey Hepburn is a human at its best, at its most finest. But her inner beauty is twice more beautiful than her outside appearance.
Doll Face well put
Well said!
Facial bone structure? Sounds kind of nazi
You couldn;t put it better.
She was born to play Princess Anne, and as far as I'm concerned Holly Golightly as well. What an Incredible Beauty she was.
"They didn't know about it." cue the most mesmerizing smile I've ever seen in my life.
God yes, the expressiveness in her face as she answers the questions, ending with that dazzling smile, was like a message from the heavens saying "this is a star".
I am forever in her spell

ballet does wonders to your body that why she has good body posture
andeace23 I'm 3 years late. To answer your question, besides ballet, AH was the daughter of a Baroness, which makes her an aristocrat. She was very highly educated, spoke five languages. It also explains her beautiful accent and speaking voice. She was no accident.
I think her grace and persence comes from having a royal Baroness for a mother
She said that she did ballet, that’s where it’s from
Her family was high class before the war. She learned it all through that.
She was never some ordinary woman like us.
Look at her eyes with innocence. They are enchanting and generous.
I must say that I am amazed
Her beauty was so intoxicating
If there are angels, they are Audrey Hepburn.
She wasn't just an actress, she was an artist, and a humanitarian, who cared for others, and that's why we admire her💜
Trueeee

Alexander Bayley she has a posh accent
She is so charming, and that smile! :D
Her beauty and elegance is absolutely mesmerizing. One cannot comprehend how a human being could be so beautiful! She gives me goose bumps whenever I watch her!
The camera sure did love her, just like millions from across the globe. Her personality and heart shone through in every film
her smile is angelic!
Audrey Hepburn was pure class. Beautiful, humble, kind, and beyond charming. Watching this clip, one can see her universal appeal. Wonderful smile.
It's easy to believe she really is a princess, in every exquisite detail, as she casually interacts naturally in the interview.
So glad he cast her!! Can you imagine films without Audrey?
1:05 is my favorite thing in the entire world. She just makes you want to marry her and treat her right
Too bad she had quite unpleasant husbands and didn't meet the man who made her truly happy until she was in her 50s.
In her autobiography she said that during the war her family was so desperate to eat that her mother baked a loaf of mud mixed with grass. When the American soldiers came they gave chocolate to the children and ever since she had a small piece of chocolate daily for the rest of her life.
😢 God Bless Her
They also gave her cigarettes

Mar Mal No, but why do you think Marilyn was included in the conversation? Obviously to make a point.
I guess you're just assuming too much. :)
