Why Audrey Hepburn Struggled With Love For So Many Years? 

I met both Wolders and Audrey in Ethiopia, he was a great guy and you could see just how much Audrey relied on him and really loved him. I had been a fan of hers since I was a little kid, and for me, it was a real honour meeting her. Great video.

She'll always be a part of us all. Thank you Audrey.

Her more passionate love affair was definitely with Holden... but passionate doesn't mean the best obviously so her best romantic relationship is her last one (both more mature and experimented). Thanks Age of Vintage to keep those legends alive.

I am Dutch and claim her as Dutch, because she was Dutch on her mother's side, lived through the war and a few years after in The Netherlands, debuted as an actress in a Dutch film production, and spoke Dutch fluently her whole life.

Out of all female actress Audrey was my favourite her beauty and elegance was real,she was one true class person,even in her old age she had class and never let it get in her way she put the poor before anything and did a lot for charity,not for publicity but for real,God bless you Audrey,you grew up in times of dramatization of world war two watching people been shot and the horrors of Hitler's words that led her to never forget what it was like to be hungry and children not having a chance to live to grow old,God bless you girl and others like you ,rest in peace and I hope u have earned your wings,amen,your not forgotten,😘👍💖🌈💝🌹

This beautiful lady broke the heart of nearly every man who ever saw her.

Audrey would have made a wonderful best friend.

She was yet another lovely actor, but my ohh my why must they have so many affairs, no matter how beloved these actors all were, it can never be decent to walk from one bed to another......

Lilly Collins could have been easily her grand daughter ... the lookalike is uncanny... If there's a new biopic made about Audrey, Lilly should be The One portraying her !

I never cared for MM but loved Audrey.

She Trusted to easily...Loved with all of her heart, and married to quickly.

A few points. To say Audrey was "Belgian" is an oversimplification. She was born in Brussels, to a British father and Dutch mother, and always held a British passport. Mel Ferrer was of Spanish descent, and pronounced his surname fer-RAIR, with the stress on the second syllable. Audrey was not married to Ferrer at the time of her affair with Holden. (I am not sure if you were trying to imply that, but that is the impression I got from the film). As you say, Holden was married at the time (to Brenda Marshall), but they were separated; according to one version of the story Audrey wrongly believed them to be divorced.

This would’ve been much better done had the photos matched the narration. That wouldn’t be hard to do or defined.

Audrey Hepburn is my favorite actress of all time for both her beauty inside and outside and her classiness. She is not without flaws. I don’t mean what she considers are flaws like her nose, teeth, feet etc. But the flaw of having an affair with the handsome Holden in the early part of marriage to Ferrer when they were happy together Before the much older Ferrer started having affairs himself. After that blow to his ego, he then affairs, then she had affairs during their marriage. It was doomed as soon as one of them started to look outside their marriage.

Good for her I am glad she found true love 🥰

Hi Age of Vintage, Good Morning it's 9.20am here in Adelaide, & I think our colder weather is starting to come in. I hope you are well, you certainly have been very busy, 3 uploads on Clark Gable & now this one on the Sublime, Beautiful, Kind & Generous Audrey Hepburn. She is one of my all time favourite actresses, she was not only sexy with the face of an Angel , but one of Hollywood's greatest actresses. She had an extremely poor upbringing, there was never enough food for the family. They used to gather wheat grasses & other seeds etc & grind them up to make a very poor quality type of bread. She never felt so bad about things, that's just the way things were at that time. She grew up to be a magnificent actress & dancer, with her elfin, pixie hair cut, & the most beautiful speaking voice. She was always extremely thin all her life which people put down to her lack of proper food with substance. She adored her 2 children & would talk to them & play with all the time, her first son was sent to a school which taught bilingual languages. The press found out about her upbringing, which they blamed her chances of bearing children a terrible shame as they thought she would never have any children at all. She was anorexic before people knew what the name meant , but she was lucky enough to have 2 boys. She was a brilliant actress ( only my opinion ) & starred in movies with a plethora of leading Hollywood men. Three of her favourite films to me are SABRINA whom she starred with Humphrey Bogart, & William Holden, Roman Holiday with the gorgeous Gregory Peck, & Breakfast at Tiffany's with George Peppard. My opinion of why she struggled with love for so many years is , she never felt worthy of herself , & didn't believe she should be happy at all. She became a HUGE AMBASSADOR for UNICEF later in her life, & I believe this is where she found her calling. This was something she could do & she adored it. At a gala dinner somewhere she was speaking to Sir Roger Moore & was telling him about her work she used to do with UNICEF & he said show me where to sign & I'm in. He carried on & did a lot of work with Audrey, even after she passed away. He was still involved with it , virtually until he was succumbed to illness & passed away. Two huge stars who were humble & kind & just got on with the job at hand, no big fan fares & showing off , look what I'm doing aren't I a great person . They were just two beautiful people helping the World's poorest children. Love Love from Australia 🇦🇺❤💜💖⚘⚘14.04.20.

So frustrating when the commentary and photos are out of sync. (chronological order)

pronounced Mel Fer 'air

"Fer-RARE"... as in rare steak. You did correct it on the post about Mel, but again why not check major names' pronunciations before posting? It takes just a short time exploring online. Basic respect.

At least she died with a faithful and devoted man by her side.

когда я узнала Одри вышла замуж за мел Феррера у которого в прошлом уже было 4 брака я была неприятно удивлена он не красивый и как мужчина и как человек . говорят лицо это зеркало души - хорошего мужа из него не получилось даже с такой идеальной женщиной как Одри.

Just found your channel, AOV. Excellent job on the delivery, pics, everything. Hey--can you do something on Clint Walker of Cheyenne fame? Any skels in his closet? Will await your response,

Age of Vintage, please do videos on the late actresses Jennifer Jones and Dorothy Dandridge( both had tumultuous romantic lives)... You have material to work on now !

She was too...good....for most of them..

Wow, both Bill Holden and Audrey Hepburn, have gone down in my eyes. Alley Cats.

She did a lot of arriving ;)

Can someone tell me what song is that playing in the background?? I've been trying to find it for so long!!!!!!!!!!!! Please!

Buddy it’s pronounced /fer-RARE/ but I know you’re British and Brits tend to tend to stress different syllables than Yanks (I’m not either one). So Americans say /TEL-i-vi-zyun/ Brits say /tel-i-VI-zyun/. Americans say /WEEK-end/ Brits say / week-END/. In names you tend to favour the initial syllable which is most often correct but this is a foreign name. It doesn’t follow the tacit rules of pronunciation you are familiar with. ( or to be formal: of which you are familiar).

👏👏👏

yes

Audrey was a Dutch , not Belgian

I love her as an actress, still watch her movies. I didn’t know she was a player though. Beautiful woman, great actress but morals of an alley cat. That’s Hollywood.

CAN YOU DO A VIDEO ABOUT THE LOVE AFFAIR OF GARY COOPER AND PATRICIA NEAL ..

Haha 2:44 wedding gown "featuring a tiny waist..." ... what choice was there for tiny-waisted Audrey!?.😁

The music track keeps coming up too loud - highly distracting. Ruins it.

The pictures could have been coordinated with the narrative. you are talking about Audrey's affair with William Holden and showing pictures of her with her mother. 6:20

I think Wolders worked for Hepburn. He used her for a crutch and to make a living. This was something he had done before. Of course, he was nice and accommodating because he got what he wanted.

The annoying music subtracted from the content of the video.

Audrey Hepburn was Dutch not Belgium.

If Audrey thought so then she did.

Wolders - the right guy! Having crabbed, I congratulate too - saying humanitarian and actress in that order. UNICEF, expecting a "pretty princess at parties", got a fearless full-meal-deal with Audrey in the trenches.

I really didn't know her.

William Holden. Too bad he was an alcoholic!!

Love Audrey Hepburn, hated this music.

Mel Ferrer was the right man for Audrey ; the whole Hollywood thing messed them both up.

Music on this is awful and a little loud...ruins content

Is is believable that scientists cannot or have not found a cure for cancer....they fly to other planets. Does it mean that cancer is harder .............nuts. I have lost the love of my life, my Sister, my best dog, my cat already to cancer.....it's a crock

Dang I didn't know Hepburn was such a ......

Irritating background music.

She along with the entire rest of the world gets heartbroken ...... Fer arr............is this guy British is that why he mispronounces names

Wow she looked 73 instead of 63. She had a high body count.

OK this was awful because it’s not in chronological order the photos don’t go along with what you’re talking about at the same time!!! I won’t watch anymore because it’s too disturbing I can’t tell who was when and what happened when because you don’t take it in order. It’s just thrown together and well I guess your work isn’t important enough to you to do a good job anyway this was horrible...not important enough to watch any of your stuff

The late great actress and humanitarian Audrey Hepburn was NOT Belgian! She was part DUTCH from Holland and from Dutch aristocracy on her mother's side who was a Baroness and also had distant Jewish blood in her. Her father was of Irish/British descent! A tulip in Holland was named after her because when she was nearly starving during WW2 she had to live off of tulip bulbs! She also lived a life so similar to the late Anne Frank that she once refused to play her, it was too close to home and painful for her. Her biggest affair was with notorious womanizer Golden Boy William Holden, a raging alcoholic. And the rest is herstory!

Audrey's great gift was the animation in her face. She wasn't beautiful, but photogenic. Like most Hollywood actresses, she was chronically immature and incapable of making sensible life decisions. It is not surprising that she couldn't find personal happiness until towards the end of her life. This is the classic Hollywood tragedy. At least she didn't commit suicide.

So immoral

Based on the Age of Vintage not many people have any morals.

Great actress but a disaster as a faithful wife. So sad...
