My  10 favourite Audrey Hepburn movies

Audrey Hepburn as Gigi by Milton Greene  c.1951

“I am very impressed by the people of Ethiopia, and by their beauty, by their dignity, by their patience and by their enormous desire and will to help themselves - not simply to sit there wainting. They deserve help not only because they are the poorest people in the world and are receivin the least aid, but because they are a brave people and they do so much for themselves. There aren’t any banners saying, ‘This is a UNICEF project.’ The important thing is that, given the spade that UNICEF can give them, they will dig a well. What we have to make sure is that they don’t use the spade to dig graves for their children. Surely caring is better than killing. We care for our own children when they go through a crisis, when they have an accident or are stricken by disease - not only during that moment, but also through what may be a fairly long convalescence. If we can do that for our own children, I certainly think that we can do it for all those silent children that I saw yesterday and today at the refugee camp. And I firmly believe that those children are our sacred charge.”

missavagardner:

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows. And the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.

“Most people think of Audrey Hepburn as regal. I like to think of her as spunky. It was my good luck to be her first screen fellow, to hold out my hand and help her keep her balance while she made everybody in the world fall in love with her”- Gregory Peck

Audrey Kathleen Hepburn  (May 4, 1929- January 20, 1993)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUDREY HEPBURN

May 4, 1929

“I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.”

Mayerling to get DVD release

From Films Around the World:Posted: April 29th, 2013

Films Around the World, Inc. is delighted to confirm that the Audrey Hepburn/Mel Ferrer MAYERLING will indeed be released on DVD in 2013. After several years of discussion, Audrey Hepburn’s sons, and Mel Ferrer’s widow, have authorized its distribution by us.

We have digitally remastered it from the original kinescope negative, and upgraded the new master using the latest enhancement software and expertise; it will be the first release on our new “Mr. FAR-W Video” silver and blue label, initially available through Amazon.com.

The first public exhibition since the original (and only) live television broadcast, in 1957, will be as the closing event at the Stadtmuseum Munchen/Filmmeuseum’s Audrey Hepburn Retrospective, at 9PM on June 24, 2013.

We mastered iMAYERLING in two versions — one with the original commercials, and one without them. Each version can either be played straight through, or by the four acts of the original broadcast. The masters have been delivered to both Amazon and the Stadtmuseum; check on our website or directly with Amazon for the availability of the DVDs.
