You know, I'm not a big fan of this type of girls (read: eat something, please!!!) but it was very surprising for myself when I realized I have enjoyed Breakfast at Tiffany's. I've also read she had a very hard infancy under the WW II and that she died not so many years ago, fighting cancer. So I guess she wasn't fragile in her inside.

Audrey was a very strong woman, she was a fashion Icon, had perfect feet (acording with Ferragamo), slim body and very photogenic beauty...

But you're right she had a sad childhood and adolescence and died because of a painful illness... all trough her life supported social organisms like unicef and also founded a children's care foundation few years before dying...

I think she was quite a woman... more much than a pretty face.

graaaaaaaaàcies euzki :-D el blanc i negre em semblava gaire bé obligatori... a més, és curiós, però em sembla que és més fàcil que quedi maca en b&w que en color, veritat?

sip... el blanc i negre l'hi dona un altre textura :))

...m'agrada molt!!

oh wow this is a great picture ciberado
i feel a bit like you about Audrey HGpburn, sometimes i even feel she's overrated! she was pretty and an icon, but i never thought she was a good actress, just a lucky pretty too skinny girl... but funny & what i love about this photo is that the other women from the back does look like another skinny Hepburn woman, but this one i do admire a lot and it think is one of the best actresses in Hollywood and i am talking about Katherine Hepburn, not Audrey but Katherine with her little hair bun tied on the back, she was talented and hilarious!

The Queen of Africa is one of the best films I've seen in my whole life. And the Hepburn (because I think everybody used to call her the Hepburn) was a formidable woman: she acted as she wanted, without spending to much time thinking about the opinion of the rest of the world. It's great to know you like her too :-D

ps: AND I LOVE THE OBSERVATION. I haven't thought about this photo this way!

yes ciberado, i truly love her acting and style
i am a big fan of her B&W era, the screwball comedies!!! specially Bringing Up Baby and The Philadelphia Story with Cary Grant and James Stewart... but probably my favorite movie of hers is Desk Set with Spencer Tracey, those 2 were one of those amazing Hollywood couples, all their films together are great :) how nice that you like old films too!
