In the following gallery, we present screen tests for roles that have become familiar and much loved, from a young Audrey Hepburn reading for the part of Princess Ann in Roman Holiday to a supremely confident Robert Downey Jr. demonstrating how he was born to play supremely confident billionaire-industrialist Tony Stark in the Iron Man films.

We start with a lovely British actress who got a chance to prove she belonged to join an all-star cast of a movie destined to become a Hollywood classic.

Dated, but entertaining for bored movie buffs. Best ones... Viven Leigh- No one could have done it better Audrey Hepburn- mesmerizing talking about living in occupied Holland The kid from E.T.- ridiculously good Brando

Typo...Not Brando, Pacino

Not exactly on topic but film related.

I happened to see the young actor(David Henrie) who will be playing a teenage Ronald Reagan in an upcoming movie. It gave me a glimmer of hope that it won't be a total bashfest. Henrie says he grew up in a very pro Reagan family and they are expecting him to honor Reagan in the role.

Henrie is one of the Disney stars and played alongside Selena Gomez on the Wizards of Waverly place. He doesn't appear to be among the scandal ridden Disney stars.

I am not a movie buff, but the idea of Beatty or Redord as Mike Corleone..............

GMAFB!!

Interesting. That’s something I’d watch if they can do it justice.

I could not look away from Audrey Hepburn.

Didn’t even want to blink.

Thanks for sharing that rather nice bit of hollywood buzz!

I never watched that show, but my brother told me that the exterior of the school shown in the opening was our old elementary school on East 20th Street in NYC.

Wizards was a good clean kid’s show.

I thought it was cool that the teachers at the school all had names from TV past. The principal was Mr Larrytate.

The smile when she talks about tricking the Germans...completely enchanting.

LOL, that’s cute. I loved Larry Tate, and at one point I worked with a guy who was nearly a dead ringer for him.

Got to love Audrey Hepburn - no choice.

She would have made a great elf queen in the Lord of the Rings, or some magical creature.

She is enchanting.
