An absolute goddess in every sense of the word. Class and elegant personified and exquisite talent. Nobody will ever top her.

[@garymarzuki8391]

Look at her...the way she sits...the way she talks...perfectly composed..even at that age she was absolutely Beautiful.

[@calexismccarrington2175]

She is absolutely stunning. Not a piece of jewellery and very minimal makeup, hair swept back off the face and wearing a black suit. Unadorned, not many women could pull that off and still look beautiful and glamorous.

[@Seraphim7]

The most important thing you can wear is a Smile🌟🌸

[@darklight4251]

She had the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. I remember watching Charade years ago and wondering how it was possible to be as beautiful as Audrey Hepburn. And that smile...

[@garethjames1300]

What a humble likeable and lovely person the worlds a lesser place without her very much so

[@cheyennebrennan966]

Honestly, the more you learn about this truly exquisite lady, the more you fall in love with her: Not just her beauty and elegance, but her kindness, her compassion, her wisdom, her bravery...I hesitate to use the word "perfect" as to be perfect is to be flawless and to have no flaws makes something not real, but she's the closest I think I've ever come to seeing true perfection. ❤❤❤❤

[@garymarzuki8391]

You're absolutely correct...because It happened to me.

[@jeannielong4713]

How beautifully you have given a tribute to her, my very favorite person. ❤️

[@ruekie]

"I hesitate to use the word "perfect" as to be perfect is to be flawless and to have no flaws makes something not real, but she's the closest I think I've ever come to seeing true perfection." - Beautifully said 🌷

[@lizh1633]

Ugh. She is so sophisticated, articulate, and classy. ❤

[@eduardocabredonora3510]

She's perfect !

[@moonlite2456]

she was so humble 💜

[@rachelfarmer0277]

Beauty, poise and grace.

[@_Matt_handle_taken_]

That’s how to age gracefully, versus the current fascination with wind tunnel forehead, cheeks and rubber lips.

[@silverplim]

EXACTLY. Audrey still looked beautiful at this age, because she didn’t go crazy with botox and fillers to try to chase youth. People who get treatments like that never look young, just look scary…it’s best to accept the fact you’re aging and do it with grace.

[@Seraphim7]

I 💓 her .🌸🌼

[@Anjaxo]

Thank you so much for uploading this 🤍

[@anniemoon580]

Such class, professionalism, such a Lady! One of a kind!!

[@DavidJohnson-yq4nz]

WOW

[@OlafProt]

I always loved this show. But watching it now Wogan is frequently bloody awful, interrupting his guest as she is trying to make us aware of the Sudan, and he's making glib jokes about himself.

[@Tidybitz]

Thinking the same myself, and some stupid questions.

[@leilagomulka5690]

❤❤❤

[@martinjordan4627]

What an amazing Irish / British star interviewing a legend RIP

[@KMartin-jf5kw]

She wasn't Irish

[@zeppelinboys]

how the hell did we go from a Hollywood of Audrey Hepburns to Brie Larsons, and Zendayas? Hollywood is just reaping what it's been sowing the last 15 years or so.

[@Poetic_Justice1962]

When the audience applauded at the end, she briefly took his hand, and that smile...

[@barryispuzzled]

The audience is really flat. Have they got no life in them. This is Audrey Hepburn!

[@rafaellopezmontes3553]

grande!

[@boobtuber06]

PLEASE GOD GIVE US ANOTHER AIDREY HEPBURN

[@frankborucki5540]

What a beautiful person, inside and out. She is the true meaning of a"lady".

[@melaa-tm7mt]

i am mr famous me, god the i in "je suis! "

[@arthurmaestrini4350]

She aged gracefully

[@filterego6050]

Such elegance! Her beauty and warmth shines from within. 💕

[@philp7117]

Audrey simply exudes love, compassion and goodness.

[@garyfoley946]

Such class, poise elegance. She would have made royalty seem common…..

[@DoggmaticProductions]

If only we still had quiet, slow, and considered interviews like this. Maybe we would be less anxious generally.

[@marythoidou2352]

She is THE ICON.

[@Thierry-l3k]

Audrey is a distant cousin and I miss her greatly. She was very talented, a loving mother, kind, sincere and a great humanitarian. Audrey was never blinded by the glare of fame and always straight forward and honest.

[@yvonnebirch6026]

Are you Dutch ?

[@Thierry-l3k]

@@yvonnebirch6026 I am Dutch on my father’s side and Audrey Hepburn and I share a great, great grandfather on her mother’s side (Van Heemstra).

[@seliagomez8675]

Very odd + confusing as to why he says "seamy"? Definitely a word with negative connotations, which is the opposite of Audrey Hepburn.

[@jimanderson5883]

Pure class, elegance, and grace cloaked in humility. No actors today can hold a candle to Audrey Hepburn. We lost her far too soon.

[@skinoff89]

When she talks, you LISTEN. There’s no other choice, she’s too engaging.

[@bigd3512]

Pure class 💯 a true lady.

[@jlnioannou]

The delightness in his face. I understand him completely. Who wouldn't be delighted and honored in having Audrey sitting next to him.

[@SeanSMST]

Gotta love Wogan, gotta love Hepburn.

[@stephenrafter1980]

She was beautiful there.

[@Seraphim7]

I really love her mature years…..Still so Lovely w Kindness in her Heart🌸 She’s Beautiful human being.

[@belljar23]

She is such a fascinating interviewee; thank you for this interview

[@keviener]

This interviewer was overly superficial.

[@seanohelan8241]

Heaven was missing an angel while she was here on earth.

[@cabellero1120]

I'd always liked her. She was charming and sweet and talented as an actress.

[@brahmadevyoga9923]

LOVE AUDREY ALWAYS!

[@jread3906]

Was Wogan being a bit off about the famine at the beginning??

[@KMartin-jf5kw]

​@@oscarwilde5473The British had nothing to do with it so stop lying

[@WillScarlet1991]

1989: Sudan civil war 2024: Sudan civil war..

[@silverkitty2503]

she looks so well

[@lepetitchat123]

She must be sad to know children are still suffering today. The only way to show them love is not to have them.

[@kimmonroe8305]

Such a beautiful, honest, humble, caring lady, who did so much for UNICEF and many other causes.

[@aseelaadossery8841]

her personality and the way she talk is just so sweet and special ...... unfortunately this interview was only 4 or 5 years before she died

[@debbieaguilar6893]

It sounded like he was trying to bait her to make her say something negative. She didn't react to it well.

[@competitiveenglish4079]

NO COMPARISON AT ALL !

[@daliarehab8208]

Delightful in every way!

[@izzat_izzudin7287]

She's only my favourite female screen legend from Hollywood golden age era

[@KshitijSingh-mh5le]

Real star !! not a single ounce of fat one can see in her body at this age,all tym fav❤❤❤❤

[@WilUnabridged]

Interviewer cut her off when talking about Sudan and famine, and then the video has a missing part.

[@annortiz4447]

She held his hand at the end of the interview, so much class and beauty❤❤❤.

[@TerrellMack-r3w]

She is so beautiful ♥️✨ as ever

[@florfloripides2856]
