As one who grew up watching them on the screen, I was entranced and enriched. NOBODY on screen today has their class or their style, NOBODY!!

I wish I could have met her before she passed away. She was truly a wonderful woman that can never be duplicated.

Second off, Audrey Hepburn, upon leaving Hollywood, went to work for unicef, to help sick starving children, and continued to work for them till the day of her death…

Hepburn also noted the similarities between herself and Anne Frank: “I was exactly the same age as Anne Frank. We were both ten when war broke out and fifteen when the war finished. I was given the book in Dutch, in galley form, in 1946 by a friend. I read it – and it destroyed me. It does this to many people when they first read it but I was not reading it as a book, as printed pages. This was my life. I didn’t know what I was going to read. I’ve never been the same again, it affected me so deeply.” “We saw reprisals. We saw young men put against the wall and shot and they’d close the street and then open it and you could pass by again. If you read the diary, I’ve marked one place where she says ‘five hostages shot today’. That was the day my uncle was shot. And in this child’s words I was reading about what was inside me and is still there. It was a catharsis for me. This child who was locked up in four walls had written a full report of everything I’d experienced and felt.” These times were not all bad, and she was able to enjoy some of her childhood. Again drawing parallels to Anne Frank’s life, Hepburn said “This spirit of survival is so strong in Anne Frank’s words. One minute she says ‘I’m so depressed’. The next she is longing to ride a bicycle. She is certainly a symbol of the child in very difficult circumstances, which is what I devote all my time to. She transcends her death.”[citation needed]

“MOVE YOR BLOOMIN’ ARSE!!”

Though she isn’t my favourite vintage starlet, she sure was something special. She set the standard for elegance in simplicity and has yet to be outdone on that front. I will always admire her for her abilty to pull off absolutely enything and do it with infinite grace.

That said, I haven’t seen this movie in forever. ;_; I’d go buy it right now if I wasn’t broke…

And yes, I know they have little to nothing to do with each other. I’ve just always loved Katharine Hepburn.
