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.

As we wrote in previous message, it is during the film We go to Monte Carlo -in 1951 on the Cote d'Azur has noticed that Colette Audrey Hepburn discovers in his shooting hotel and immediately approached for the role of "Gigi " in the eponymous English stage adaptation of his work, directed by Raymond Rouleau on Broadway the same year.

Certainly this film will leave an unforgettable memory for discerning moviegoers. It emerges, however, a quaint, underlined by the presence of these formations

"jazz" of the era of big bands (Ray Ventura, Jacques Hélian etc ...).
The plot is rather thin but the game simple and funny protagonists : Philippe Lemaire, Audrey, staging DeJean Didier save the film and finally make it fun.

Audrey plays the role of Melissa Farrell, a young actress, married to a pianist, both very famous but divorcing, whose baby was delivered by mistake to Max Elloy musician of the jazz band Ray Ventura preparing to go on tour in Monte Carlo.

Shot in both French and English, ease of Audrey with the French allowed him to play in both versions without being doubled.

Like what a trifle unpretentious sometimes take you further: to meet a major writer and successful American theatrical and film world.

After that, it will Gigi so and then Roman Holiday .
