Audrey Hepburn BLOG-IT #1

My darling Hepburn is to be and forever be my first ever BLOG-IT (it must be in capitals, because well just because it must). I have seen a few Audrey Hepburn films in my time and to say her acting is inspiring is not enough it is wonderful, mesmorizing, beautiful......uh INSPIRING.

The BLOG-IT shall begin:

First her profile picture to show my first victim hehehe.


1. My personal favourite film?

Easy it is Roman Holiday without a doubt.

2. A perfect film match which never happened. so sad.

Audrey Hepburn and.......Walter Pidgeon

With his comedic talent and her general talent I think it would be an interesting couple. I would also love to see a few more Hepburn comedies.

3. Her Ultimate Box set:

Roman Holiday
Sabrina
Love in the afternoon
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Charade
Two for the road
Wait untill dark

I picked these films because it shows a BIG variation of her acting and genres which she played it also show's her through her history of acting (almost).

4. A role meant for them but alas never got the job.

I don't know why but I feel compelled to say that she would have been a great Meg in Little Women. It seems so like "her".

5. Her best character?

I believe her best character to either be Princess Anne (Roman Holiday) or Susy Hendrix (Wait until dark) she did a very memorable performance as a blind women in Wait until dark.

6. The perfect couple.

I would have loved if her and Laurence Olivier were to bet a couple, but no they never were.

Rebecca (1940)

Rebecca, Rebecca, Rebecca a demon if you will, the great unseen femme fatale. The great Joan Fontaine, I love her, her kind nature, innocence, beauty she is an all around wonderful human being and who can forget Laurence Olivier a great actor. Well I was transfixed when I watched Rebecca, no one could contact me for two hours. I was so mesmerized that I read up the back story and the behind the scenes which is a wonderful world of it's own, I will explain. Behind the scenes Laurence Olivier resented Joan Fontaine and was harsh and mean to her because he wanted his then girlfriend (Vivien Leigh) to get her part. This made Joan Fontaine shy around him so Alfred Hitchock saw this as an opportunity to add to the shyness of her character by telling Joan Fontaine that all of the cast and actors HATED her so that she would be shy and nervous and play her character better. This is a harsh thing to do but look at the end result, A MASTERPIECE.






Now a basic storyline: When a shy and nervous young woman marries a rich widow and moves into his mansion she is constantly haunted by the memory of his ex wife with the maid comparing them constantly and tormenting her. She soon finds a haunting and horrifying secret.

I rate Rebecca a 9 out of 10 WOOHOO
