Arguably the most sophisticated and beautiful woman to ever grace the screen, Audrey Hepburn fell into acting by accident. Her dream to be a dancer was dashed--she'd be good, she was told, but never great--so she worked as an actress in Europe until William Wyler found her when looking for an unknown for his film Roman Holiday. Hence, a movie star was born.

Intimate Portraits: Audrey Hepburn looks at the life of this actress who epitomized glamour through interviews with her son; her last partner, actor Robert Wolders; and friends and colleagues; and through clips from interviews with Hepburn herself. Together, they paint a picture of a reluctant star, a woman who really just wanted to be a wife and mother. Miscarriages and two failed marriages took their toll, but ultimately, Hepburn found her happiness later in life with Wolders and as the Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, where she finally found a purpose for her fame. From her childhood in wartime Belgium--where she raised funds for the Resistance by dancing, until malnutrition forced her to stop--to the memorial foundation created after her death, Portrait briefly touches on all aspects of Hepburn's personal and professional life, providing insight into one of the most cherished actresses of all time. --Jenny Brown

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Audrey!, February 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Intimate Portrait: Audrey Hepburn [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am a great fan of Audrey's even though i am just a 16-year-old girl. many people don't think the young girls nowadays would still be in love with the old-fashion movies. Actually, i am not only in love with hepburn's movies, but also her personality, her elegance and her everything.

After i saw her first movie "Roman Holiday" once on a cold day during the new year on TV, i am completely enamored of her grace, style and beauty. She's just a marvelous lady. I tried my best the know more about her and get as many movies of hers as i can get. Everyone of hers is excellent.

Audrey is well-represented throughout her life in this VT. It even included a brief clip from her very very early movie, Monte Carlo Baby. I also especially appreciated the commentaries by her first son, and that of her companion in later life, and it did seem the others who were interviewed were the people who cared about her. I think Audrey would be quite happy with it.
