Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Audrey had the great chance not only to be born as a literally beautiful human being, but also to star in literally beautiful and enjoyable films. She didn’t have a big filmography, because she didn’t make many films, as she preferred to take care of her two sons. But she had the opportunity to appear in productions that were mostly good – some of them were masterpieces! She was and will always be a fashion icon, a model for any woman. She was unique and we should be happy that she existed and that she contributed in her own way to the magnificence of the Seventh Art.

The following list of films of Audrey is written in chronological order. All these films are remarkable productions and also very enjoyable and entertaining. I recommend them to everyone who wants to have a wonderful time watching good cinema and to discover the magic of Audrey Hepburn.

1. Roman Holiday (1953)
2. Sabrina (1954)
3. Funny Face (1957)
4. Love in the Afternoon (1957)
5. Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)
6. Charade (1963)
7. My Fair Lady (1964)
8. How to Steal a Million (1966)

*Not a particularly enjoyable film, but rather a sad one, is “The Nun’s Story” (1959), my personal favourite film with Audrey.

Roman Holiday (1953) – posters

1953, Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck, posters, Roman Holiday, William Wyler

One of the most romantic films of the 1950’s, “Roman Holiday” marked the debut of Audrey Hepburn in Hollywood. She was the Princess, similarly to Grace Kelly (who was born in 1929, like A. Hepburn). Audrey and Gregory Peck had great chemistry and the direction of William Wyler was also very important. “Roman Holiday” was a personal favourite film of his. But I think that the script, written by Dalton Trumbo, added to the high quality of this motion picture. The film was shot in Rome and that is why the posters that promote the film also promote Rome as a holiday destination.

Charade (1963) – posters

1963, Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, Charade, posters, Stanley Donen

Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant starred in a great film, “Charade”, which was directed by Stanley Donen, even if the production resembles the Hitchcockian style. “Charade” is a wonderful film, full of suspense and action scenes, but it is also a comedy. I enjoyed it very much and I saw it several times. Audrey and Cary are nice together and the costumes designed by Hubert de Givenchy are also iconic.

Over 3 million views on my channel, opened on October 20, 2007! Many people were inspired by my creations and some of them tried to emulate my style of editing. I didn’t mind, but some people tried to steal my own works and pretend they were theirs. It was the case of the clip with Vivien Leigh and Hedy Lamarr, on which I put a lot of effort, because I also made the photo montages. The person immediately deleted the stolen clip after I contacted her, but I was quite upset. After that, I put watermarks on most of my creations.

There are around 2,000 subscribers and I want to thank everyone for watching my work on YouTube.

Here are a few more numbers:
