AH.

PossiblyThe most attractive woman who ever existed. (apart from all females on this forum)

Nice pawiz.

I always look for a get out clause

That was very smart of you, I'm impressed.

I believe that Katherine had all of her back teeth removed as it gave her cheeks a more "sucked ion" look. Bit full on if you ask me, which you didn't but there tiz anyways.

...wow.

She must have been a dedicated meat eater then.

Audrey Hepburn must have been about 15 when those pics were taken Bella. She looks like the sort of girl who would have featured in a Waterhouse painting in those images.

(in reference to the picture with the fawn)

I've never seen such a manipulative picture in all my life

The only solace I have is that hopefully they cooked it afterwards.

She was gorgeous, and bright too, apparently. I've heard that she was also depressive and suffered from an eating disorder for quite some time in her career.

She reminded me of a elf:-

I can't say as a person. As an Icon, she represented an step down of femininity to me. With her, women in movies passed from being mysterious and intelligent (20s-30s), even malicious and manipulative (40s), to just being a face to put on a dress. Weak and spiceless. She was as fulfilling as bubble gum and altered the route that actresses like Katherine Hepburn, Ava Gardner and silent movies' actresses had been heading. We must wait to the 1978 and the 80s to see again strong intelligent and independent women as role models. Gia, and (allow me a particular opinion): Ellen Ripley as character.

His icon in the silver screen would even emasculate Humphrey Bogart! (Sabrina) And make Cary Grant unattractive (Charade) !! and Gregory Peck a buffoon! (Roman Holiday).
I know that it was not her fault, but the trend of the after war "americana", but still... She was the pathfinder that made female aberrations like Lucille Ball and Samantha (Bewitched) to be role models... She killed this spirit:


Of course this is just a very personal opinion...

Those pictures are from Green Mansions (1959) where she played Rima 'the jungle girl'. She was 30 years old there!

I don't think I've ever watched an Audrey Hepburn movie, but, Oh, my God, what a beauty.

[charlou]

Pretty in an elfin way, but not my idea of attractive. Not too keen on her movies either.



Oops, sorry ... this an appreciation thread ... ummm ...

Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful actresses ever to grace the screen (although too slight for me - I prefer a Monroesque figure). Acting wise, I can't say I am hugely impressed by her skills but then again I can't remember ever seeing her in a really meaty role and she always acquitted herself well enough in everything I have seen. The Nun's Story is supposed to be her best performance but I haven't seen it.
