Sore When I Press On Stomach

Gigi; Colette, Audrey (continued) (4)

A new version of the book dedicated to Audrey Hepburn in the editions: "Re-Collection" brings me to republish this post about the actress, in 2009, when it would have been his eightieth birthday.
No, this is not a ticket "people" we wrote then: but how not return to this incomparable actress whose films have not aged a day: Roman Holiday, Sabrina, War and Peace, at the risk of being lost, Ariane, Breakfast at Tiffany's, rumor, my fair lady, alone in the night ... etc.. After
seeing it in all these roles, we could say with Flaubert (in Sentimental Education): " it was like an apparition . Audrey was truly a being of light, an actress and a woman incomparable. We remember his smile, his humor, his elegance was often ignored his intellectual gifts (she spoke perfectly English, French, Dutch, Italian) and his qualities of heart. She was a tireless ambassador for UNICEF and already sick, paid in person in missions in Bangladesh and Ethiopia. His
Hubert de Givenchy friend wrote of her:
"One thing that struck me about him, in addition to its charm and elegance, was her ability to make love and admire both women men. His image was unique. This is something that no other major actresses have been able to establish itself même.Audrey was a very precise and professional. She was never late and never made any whims or tantrums. Unlike many of his illustrious colleagues, she did not behave like a spoiled star "
short, everything the opposite of a diva.


For me, I might add, she was a witch, inspiring love and beauty. And fairies do not go away altogether.
