Audrey Hepburn Full Screen Test

Audrey Hepburn's full screen test for 1953's Roman Holiday.

[@Miumiu0404]

Her face is literally the epitome of beauty and grace. Her facial bone structure is impressive. Audrey Hepburn is a human at its best, at its most finest. But her inner beauty is twice more beautiful than her outside appearance.

[@jennah7724]

Doll Face well put

[@robertromero8692]

Well said!

[@yoursleepandrelaxation6948]

Facial bone structure? Sounds kind of nazi

[@milenka468]

You couldn;t put it better.

[@garymarzuki8391]

She was born to play Princess Anne, and as far as I'm concerned Holly Golightly as well. What an Incredible Beauty she was.

[@coreylawson4512]

"They didn't know about it." cue the most mesmerizing smile I've ever seen in my life.

[@robertromero8692]

God yes, the expressiveness in her face as she answers the questions, ending with that dazzling smile, was like a message from the heavens saying "this is a star".

[@marxjenn1]

I am forever in her spell

[@RandomDudeOne]

The way she turned sad when talking about the war was not acting. She worked for the Dutch underground and nearly starved to death the last winter of the war.

[@DivineMizE]

In another interview, she shares that she did a horrible job on the scene. But then the director just graciously called to her to come and sit and asked her questions about her life and got her talking about things she knew about /cared about and it took her mind off of how nervous she was. And all her incredible grace and charm comes through. Thank goodness for people who see our potential!

[@rover3252]

do you have a link to the interview where she said that?

[@ycp2147]

Look at her eyes with innocence. They are enchanting and generous. I must say that I am amazed

[@iculturaldiplomacy2054]

why do people always bash other actresses? Yes Audrey was lovely, so was Marilyn, but they are so different and special in their own right so don't compare them....

[@cocodakilla]

She had more affairs than Monroe. Marilyn. Didn't have affairs and was the first to deny the casting couch. She suffered bad pay PR movie selection and was ruined. Audrey got the opposite. Hollywood has a formula and the only way she and some others became so successful was by sleeping with studio heads. . Monroe lonely her makeup man said shed read a lot or sleep or call him and chat and chat. Loads of lies made as soon as she died. LOADS. Just because of her background. She did loads of charity. Audrey had connections so high that is why no one spread the info out. William holden and many other actors even when SHE was married. People need to research instead of being sheep.

[@kuroniro1]

+Coco Pops I find it interesting that Sean Ferrer never seems to hide the fact that his mother had affairs. I think he even commented on it a couple of times. By the way, what "research" or proof have you found that Hepburn had more affairs than Monroe?

[@cocodakilla]

It is quite simple really. Hollywood had and still has a formula. The casting couch allows you to get the best PR pay and movie selection. Audrey wasn't very talented but got to the top. Monroe received the opposite and was loathed by fox so was ruined. She was genuinely mobbed yes but her own studios ruined her. Audrey and others however were not thrown to doctors and psychiatrists to be used as a test mouse. You also need to look into charities. Monroe did it immediately and gave literally all her money away to those in need whereas Hepburn Kelly Taylor etc did nothing but live materialistic lives. I find it so funny that they came back to promote bogus charities and got rep boosts and big paychecks. That is how charities worked after the seventies. Bob geldof and others did the same. Recently kids company was exposed but big ones like UNICEF oxfam red cross (the ones in different countries and very established) have yet to be exposed. These so called charities raise so much and then the money disappears and no change is made. Paul Newman and Monroe did real charity. Back when it wasn't paying them! The proof is in the pudding. Monroe got the worst treatment. Had she slept with her studios she would have been alive and would have had the classy label. Audrey and others got the best treatment because they agreed. They were able to sleep with married men too. Holden and peck were two men. With Monroe it was only montand and Curtis who claimed she slept with them which is untrue. Everyone knew she loathed Curtis and knew montand was looking for attention because he was not that known. You need to look up mkultra. If anything Monroe was raped by not only the Kennedys but also Sinatra. The latter even took images and showed his friends. Monroe was given the worst fate at birth but she did good with it and had more morals than the majority of Hollywood. Clothes do not equate class your actions do

[@kuroniro1]

Coco Pops You seem to be getting "research" mixed with assumptions.

[@cocodakilla]

Not really. I have spoken to some people who worked in Hollywood at the time. They were not in bed with these people nor was I so I find it funny how people like yourself want images or something like that to prove affairs. What affairs has Sean agreed to? I don't use the biographies much because they parrot the same lies over and over.

[@andeace23]

How could someone be so effortlessly poised, beautiful and graceful at the same time? Seriously, I'm not into celebrity culture much but she was-incredible.

[@lawrencele3391]

ballet does wonders to your body that why she has good body posture

[@susancrawford5927]

andeace23 I'm 3 years late. To answer your question, besides ballet, AH was the daughter of a Baroness, which makes her an aristocrat. She was very highly educated, spoke five languages. It also explains her beautiful accent and speaking voice. She was no accident.

[@marxjenn1]

I think her grace and persence comes from having a royal Baroness for a mother

[@liveinlakewoodranch]

She said that she did ballet, that’s where it’s from

[@MoyaBrennan6825]

Her family was high class before the war. She learned it all through that. She was never some ordinary woman like us.

[@kenllacer]

Ladies and Gents... _The woman who nailed the "Pixie Cut"!_

It's easy to believe she really is a princess, in every exquisite detail, as she casually interacts naturally in the interview.

Audrey is a one off. Beautiful face, wonderful speaking voice. I've just watched Roman Holiday on the television and without fail it makes me laugh and breaks my heart at the end. Did so want her and Gregory Peck to go off together.

[@Papershields001]

Dear god, there was never anybody so beautiful on this earth; perfection incarnate. I'd put up with living before technology just for the chance to see her from a distance in Paris in the 50s. I'm definitely not the first to have such an obsession, but Audrey was the goddess of everyman's dreams. Absolute, beauty. It's hard to even tell the truth about feelings I feel when I watch her movies. Born in the wrong Century.

[@robertromero8692]

I've recently come to realize that if I could make my wishes come true, via time machine or being in heaven or whatever, one of the top ones is to be with Audrey Hepburn.

Too bad she had quite unpleasant husbands and didn't meet the man who made her truly happy until she was in her 50s.

[@henryw6167]

She knew that she was being recorded on this part of the test because you hear him say 'wonder down here, without your hands in your pockets so we can make a nice close-up of you'. However, when she was actually reading for the part, they continued recording after the director said 'cut' so that they could see her real personality. There is a picture of her laughing that you can see on Google images of her when she didn't know it was recording. Type in 'Audrey Hepburn screen test' and voila!

[@ianmilstead764]

Suggest reading "A Dutch Girl" by Robert Matzen as it mentions this interview and it describes the incredible hardships that were not just "pretty awful" during her formative years. I just loved how she lit up with a broad, mischievous smile when asked why the Germans didn't stop her performing to collect money for the Underground - "They didn't know about it!"

[@edshoaff3055]

In her autobiography she said that during the war her family was so desperate to eat that her mother baked a loaf of mud mixed with grass. When the American soldiers came they gave chocolate to the children and ever since she had a small piece of chocolate daily for the rest of her life.

[@laurencelevene4333]

Audrey was so beautiful inside and out

[@kmm5455]

One of the amazing things, to me at least, is that as remarkably beautiful as she is, she never thought she was pretty. I certainly prefer Audrey to Norma Jean

[@LaMenteOpen]

And what exactly is wrong about knowing you're pretty? It's lame to prefer one woman than another just because she is aware of her attractiveness. It's fine if you don't like Marilyn, but it's foolish to think she was worse because she acknowledged her beauty.

[@libre_flix]

MagentaPhilosophy did he say Norma Jean is worse than Audrey?

[@LaMenteOpen]

Mar Mal No, but why do you think Marilyn was included in the conversation? Obviously to make a point.

[@libre_flix]

I guess you're just assuming too much. :)

[@LaMenteOpen]

LOL maybe I am, but people tend to always put them together like Audrey is better for "x" reason and Marilyn is bad for being sexual and whatnot. I just don't like when people say things like that. Hopefully you know what I'm talking about!

[@kuninokunino]

This IS part of the original screen test, given by an English director working off written instructions from the American director William Wyler, who had met Hepburn very briefly -- for five minutes. He instructed the Englishman, Thorold Dickerson, that after the formal part of the test in costume and make-up, Hepburn should change into her own clothes and be informally interviewed about her own life. She was not to know the camera was still running; and she didn't. You see her career starting.
