Remebering Audrey Hepburn and All the Beauty She Gave Us In Cancer Awareness Month

Perhaps the most elegant actress of our generation is Audrey Hepburn. There has never been anyone quite like her nor will there be again. Unlike the beautiful roles she played in high fashion her life was marred with tragedy. But it didn't stop her from being a most generous actress and finishing her life as a good will ambassador for UNICEF until she was terminally diagnosed with stomach cancer.

We can honor Ms. Audrey Hepburn's spirit by remembering watching her films this month of cancer awareness.

Audrey Hepburn made 15 films but I have limited the scope of this article to my top 4 favorite films.

AnAristocrat escapes her body guards and takes a tour of Roman only to find Gregory Peck and fall in love. That could happen to all of us. This film was in black and white and had some great scenes in it. It is well worth seeing if you have not. And it makes my top four favorite Audrey Hepburn favorite movies of all time.

My perspective is skewed though because i saw it after going to Rome.

it is a very young Audrey Hepburn.

I disagree with the critics on this one. I thought Audrey Hepburn played this role with a great deal of sophistication. I thought she go Holly Golightly perfectly. She had the perfect performance of being bale to be involved in everything and still very lost in the world which made this film absolutely intriguing. And Audrey Hepburn played against character type. There are so many funny scenes in this movie and so much symbolism it is a classic.

I think this script is perhaps the wittiest script every written. It is a fantastic script and a terrific cast with exceptional performances that this has to be one of my favorite movies of all time and it is a Audrey Hepburn film so that makes it doubly great. It is perhaps the only film I have seen Audrey Hepburn in which was as sophisticated as she was.

And Cary Grant was no slacker in this one either at the age of 59. He gives a fantastic performances.

Really one of my favorite films of ll time.

This film was a bit controversial as they dubbed Julie Andrew's voice in for Audrey Hepburn. And everyone thought that was quite controversial at the time but Rex Harrison didn't really even sing so I think the film would have stood on it's own merit. Audrey Hepburn gives an outstanding performance and manages to be sophisticated even as a flower girl.

So this is also one of my very favorite movies of Audrey Hepburn.

I think it is important to remember who we have lost to Cancer including our own loved ones but artists as well. Cancer doesn't discriminate. It takes people from all walks of life. And while we remember or walk or do whatever we do to acknowledge this disease and those we have lost to it why not take a few hours and sit down and enjoy one of Audrey Hepburn's classic films.
