One of my favorite movies is “Charade” with Audrey and Cary Grant. She wore the most beautiful clothes in the movie.

Without a doubt, Audrey Hepburn had it going on. Once upon a time, starlets like her and Grace Kelly had sex appeal... and class. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.
To: CondoleezzaProtege
So, she had real issues ... sorta like the rest of us. There is sympathy to be given in this regard as too many suffer silently.

Taylor in A Place in the Sun and Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf are two of my favorites of hers. In the 1960s and later I agree she became mostly a way to sell gossip and celebrity magazines.
“Meryl Streep was [Hepburn’s] least favourite actress onscreen,” Berg writes in Kate Remembered. It seems that Hepburn was fixated on Streep, utterly dumbfounded by the praise of an actor she deemed sub-par. Berg recalls Hepburn deriding Streep’s technique: “‘Click, click, click,’ she said, referring to the wheels turning inside [Streep’s] head.”
https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/why-katharine-hepburn-hated-meryl-streep/ I liked Katharine Hepburn in African Queen and Guess Who's Comibg to Dinner I suppose. I liked her boyfriend's (Spencer Tracy) acting much more.

Seems to me, Kate was jealous of Meryl Streep. Many top entertainers got to the top by being fiercely competitive.
That harsh attitude of judging other peers never leaves them, not even after they have ceased being bankable actors.
Musicians too. Joni Mitchell is well known for her jealousy of Bob Dylan. She called his success “fake”.

Yes...that’s the one!
I tried posting it multiple ways, I even took a screen capture and put it out there, but it consistently displayed a black square when I did so. Very odd.

First time I ever saw Hepburn on screen was when I was in 7th grade junior high school. The principal announced they would be showing weekly films in the auditorium, after school at 3pm.
I saw her in “Wait Until Dark” with Efrem Zimbalist Jr. Also Richard Crenna and Alan Arkin were the bad guys. She played a blind girl terrorized by three hoodlums looking for a doll filled with heroin. As a kid, the movie scared the hell out of me even though it was not a horror film.

“ She was by far one of the most beautiful women who has ever graced the silver screen.”
Absolutely. And Grace Kelly was a very close second. IMHO

A father is not a “worldly thing”. He is a requirement for children. Children born abandoned by their fathers are permanently damaged by that loss.
It’s no doubt why fornication has always been a sin and marriage is the foundation of all human societies.
Also, it’s too bad social science is a leftist tool now. They used to teach the truth about the importance of the family and the consequences of it’s destruction.

I thought she was great in many roles. She is certainly in many movies worth repeat viewings. There have been articles in past talking about her father abandoning his family. One thing she said is that her mother, to her great credit, never spoke disparagingly about him. I always thought that was an amazing thing. I'm not sure I could do that in the same situation.

She was so gamine I thought she was shorter.
Most attractive actress I’ve ever seen.

I never knew she was 5’7”.Yup. A lot of male actors had to wear lifts or stand on something so they'd look taller.

I had a co-worker who was about her same age who also lived through the Nazi occupation. His stories were tragic. As an adult his teeth would bust from internal rot and he had them all removed. Entire occupation he had one egg and he could describe it as heaven.
