Still the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Roman Holiday is one of my favorite movies and is special to me because it always cheers me up when I'm down. Charade, The Children's Hour, Nun's Story, and Wait Until Dark are other good movies she did.

Yes: Those are all definitely good films. I've always also really enjoyed My Fair Lady.

Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Sabrina and Charade...
She was beautiful inside as well as out, with all her humanitarian work.

Loved the music of My Fair Lady, but her cockney accent could get a bit annoying.
Oh I so loved On the Street Where You Live and still do.

Personally I thought MFL was her best performance but the movie on the whole isn't one of my favorites.

Such a wonderful voice. I always wondered what it would be like if she had played Mary Poppins, saying supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Would it be like saying The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain in "My Fair Lady"?

I really go for roughly the first half of The Nun's Story (the second half of that film goes into at times overly soapy territory). That part of the film, with the convent and novitiate depiction, and Miss Hepburn's lovely portrayal of the nun in question, is really interesting, fascinating, appealing, and a very nice time capsule.

Whoops I nearly got mixed up with the Black Narcissus. lol
I haven't seen this movie, but now plan to.

1947's Black Narcissus (starring Deborah Kerr) is definitely soapier than is The Nun's Story. And I don't think is as good as it.

Just finished watching The Nun's Story. Fascinating. Audrey did a wonderful job, playing a nun who struggles with trying to reach perfection.
Peter Finch perfect as the doctor with gruff exterior and a heart of gold.
SPOILER
I wish they'd added a little extra bit at the end letting us know what became of her after she left the convent.
I think after the war she would have tried to contact the doctor and back to the Congo.
I agree, it is better than the Black Narcissus..

I do like all of Audrey Hepburn's movies, but the one at the top of my list is Two for the Road.
Audrey's personal life, too, was amazing. I'm not sure of the specifics, but didn't she have a role in the resistance movement during WWII? And of course her work with UNICEF did such good, too.

She lived in the Netherlands during the German occupation. Up to now there is no proof that she had ever been in the resistance. Her family did suffer horribly as so many others have during the war, and this has had a lasting effect.
Another movie I liked is the romantic comedy "Sabrina (1954)", where she starred alongside William Holden and Humphrey Bogart.

Wonder2Wonder -- your response made me curious, so I did some searching on line. There certainly are some conflicting versions. One thing that kind of surprised me was that most sources agree her parents were nazi sympathizers. That's horrible.
I don't like to think the stories about her were pure Hollywood fiction, but that kind of thing was pretty common I think.
Oh well, she was a hell of an actress and I love watching her movies.
