Oscar® for Best Picture for "Marty" at the 28th Academy Awards® in 1956. Presented by Audrey Hepburn and hosted by Jerry Lewis, co-hosted in New York by Claudette Colbert and Joseph L. Mankiewicz.
Audrey Hepburn is so beautiful inside n' out, no one can beat a Golden Age Actress like this. She was so Glamorous at all time, She's like an Angel just like sometimes Angels become people to help people. I love Audrey Hepburn as I am a biggest fan
This was adorable. Audrey knew both Dean and Jerry and knew they were going through a tough time. It was her way of supporting them. What a sweetheart and Jerry, with that sweet genuine smile. And his hilarious bit about it fitting on his mantle. Darlings, both of them.
Let me start by saying Audrey was indeed a royal star absolutely beautiful inside and out...she devoted much of her time and money to children around the world that suffered starvation and disease....I have noticed that back in the 30s 40s and 50s .when beautiful stars spoke at celebratory events like this ..they always spoke to the audiance like the were speaking to the queen...very polite and proper...Vivian Leigh also struck me as super polite when she won an academy award....nowadays it seems more culturally correct to either go on a drunken rant or plainly speak you mind
The exchange might be pre-arranged but there’s still a moment when he looks like he doesn’t quite know what to do. Which I think a lot of Hepburn fans would understand.
We were born before the wind Also, younger than the sun Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic Hark, now hear the sailor's cry Smell the sea and feel the sky Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home, ooh-ooh And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it I don't have to fear it I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old Then magnificently we will float into the mystic And when that fog horn blows You know I will be coming home And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it I don't have to fear it I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And together we will float into the mystic Come on girl It's too late to stop now
Anne Frank and Audrey Hepburn were born in Holland in 1929 and lived only a short distance apart. While the Frank family hid in the secret annex in Amsterdam, Audrey and her non-Jewish family faced different challenges during World War II. Audrey nearly starved to death, her uncle was executed, and her brother was sent to a concentration camp. Audrey herself participated in the Dutch resistance, performing in ballets to raise money for the cause. Years later, when Audrey became a famous actress, she was offered the role of Anne Frank in a film about her life. Despite Otto Frank's request, Anne's father, she refused because she felt too close to the story and could not handle the emotional burden of playing the role. Hepburn said it was as if it had happened to her own sister, and she felt the pain and tragedy too deeply.
