'Thin Little Me—But I'm All Woman'

Newly married Audrey tells the Hepburn way to attract men

“I’m tired of being thought of as a dear, sweet, not bad-looking, flat-chested girl”

You Don’t Need a Bust to Get a Man

That’s Audrey Hepburn’s opinion. She says she has more sex appeal on the tip of her nose than most women have in their entire bodies.

Story by Walter Rainbird

A glittering Audrey with Mel Ferrer—their "idyllic" marriage lasted 13 years.

A strange sort of humility overcame me as I looked into the big brown, saucer eyes of Miss Audrey Kathleen Hepburn-Ruston as she curled kinkily in her catsuit in a corner of the hotel suite. Then I was startled as Miss AKHR—Audrey Hepburn to you, me, and the world at large—suddenly rapped: “Look here, there’s more to sex appeal than a top heavy bust and a well-rounded bottom, you know.”

Behind the characteristically-large glasses, the Hepburn nose that Audrey says is so sexy

All I could do was mumble in reply that I didn’t doubt it.

And so began one of the oddest interviews of my life with the star they call “The Fairest Lady of Them All.”

At 40, Audrey Hepburn is even slimmer than she was when, skinny and elfin, she played Eliza Doolittle. And, honestly, she doesn’t look much older than when she started out in show business as a chorus girl at the London Hippodrome—now the Talk of the Town—back in 1948.

Billy Wilder, who directed her in Sabrina Fair, once said of her, “When she walks on to the set, people stop using four-letter words, though she is certainly no prude. She has a rare class, something that Garbo had, a personal style, a kind of breeding which radiates from the screen.”

DIVORCE

This, then, was the girl who was talking to me about sex, busts, and bottoms. The girl whose “idyllic” marriage to Mel Ferrer ended in divorce after 13 years, during which her eight-year-old son Sean (“he means more to me than I mean to myself”) was born.

She told me, “I am tired of being thought of as a dear, sweet, not-bad-looking, thin-legged, flat-chested girl.

“I’ll admit I’m not so well-stacked as Sophia Loren or Gina Lollo whatever-her-name-is. But there is more to sex appeal than just measurements. Those curvy screen-stresses don’t even know what it is, never mind how to use it.

“I have heard it said that if I walked on to a studio bedroom set I wouldn’t know what to do—that I would be as lost as Bo-Peep’s sheep. Well I don’t need a bedroom to prove my womanliness.

“I can covey just as much appeal fully-clothed, picking apples off a tree and standing in the rain as some of those stars think they do wearing practically nothing.

“The secret of real appeal is that you must feel it, deep down inside you. It is something that is suggested rather than shown.

“Take a simple thing like a handshake. I can put more oomph into it than most women can in a walk.

“When you hold your hand out to a male, you think to yourself, ‘I’m all woman. I’m all woman.’ And when your hand touches his—POW!”

What about those famous Hepburn eyes?

They flushed like moon signs, as the star who normally regards Miss Hepburn as her least favorite subject, went on . . .

“A woman’s eyes can be her best weapon in the battle to attract the opposite sex. I don’t mean she should ogle a man. No real man likes that. What she should do is, perhaps, make the faintest fluster of her eyelashes as an added come-on.

Hepburn—the girl with the Garbo touch that radiates from the screen in every part she plays. Here, she wears her favorite outfit for the film Two for the Road

“I’m fed up hearing that I’m just ‘plain Audrey.’ The truth is that I know I have more sex appeal on the tip of my nose than most women have to their entire bodies. It doesn’t stand out a mile, but it’s there.”

To illustrate her point, she told me how she once arrived late for a party and had to make her way into the room alone.

“The first thing I noticed was all the gorgeous girls there—ones who had curves in just the right places.

“This little me wandered across the room, got a drink, and stood alone in a corner. Then I decided to try to experiment to prove how much man-appeal I have—and to show that appeal does not always have to be an obvious, physical thing.

IRRESISTIBLE

“I started to think of myself as the sexiest creature on earth and that I was irresistible to men.

“It didn’t take long. First, one pair of eyes, then another, swung in my direction. After only a few moments, about a dozen men were looking at me and before long I had more male company than I could handle.

“I could almost hear all those curvy girls asking, ‘What’s SHE got?’

“Well, I know. And while there is life to be enjoyed, I mean to go on and wing it.”

One discerning male will testify to the subtle powers of Miss Hepburn’s personal magnetism in 32 year-old Italian psychiatrist Dr. Andrea Dotti.

In January, just six weeks after her divorce from Mel Ferrer, he married her in Rome. And, as Miss Hepburn would doubtless point out, the doctor always knowws bests.

AUDREY HEPBURN

Audrey Kathleen Hepburn (née Ruston; 4 May 1929 – 20 January 1993) was a British actress. Recognized as a film and fashion icon, she was ranked by the American Film Institute as the third-greatest female screen legend from the Classical Hollywood cinema and was inducted into the International Best Dressed Hall of Fame List.

Born into an aristocratic family in Ixelles, Brussels, Hepburn spent parts of her childhood in Belgium, England and the Netherlands. She attended boarding school in Kent, England from 1936 to 1939. With the outbreak of World War II, she returned to the Netherlands. During the war, Hepburn studied ballet at the Arnhem Conservatory and by 1944, she performed ballet to raise money to support the Dutch resistance. Hepburn studied ballet with Sonia Gaskell in Amsterdam beginning in 1945 and with Marie Rambert in London from 1948. She began performing as a chorus girl in West End musical theatre productions and then had minor appearances in several films. Hepburn rose to stardom in the romantic comedy Roman Holiday (1953) alongside Gregory Peck, for which she was the first actress to win an Oscar, a Golden Globe Award, and a BAFTA Award for a single performance. That year, she also won a Tony Award for Best Lead Actress in a Play for her performance in Ondine.

Hepburn went on to star in a number of successful films such as Sabrina (1954), in which Humphrey Bogart and William Holden compete for her affection; Funny Face (1957), a musical in which she sang her own parts; the drama The Nun's Story (1959); the romantic comedy Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961); the thriller-romance Charade (1963), opposite Cary Grant; and the musical My Fair Lady (1964). In 1967, she starred in the thriller Wait Until Dark, receiving Academy Award, Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations. After that, Hepburn only occasionally appeared in films, one being Robin and Marian (1976) with Sean Connery. Her last recorded performances were in the 1990 documentary television series Gardens of the World with Audrey Hepburn, for which she won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement – Informational Programming. In 1994, Hepburn's contributions to a spoken-word recording titled Audrey Hepburn's Enchanted Tales earned her a posthumous Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album for Children. She stands as one of few entertainers who have won Academy, Emmy, Grammy and Tony Awards.

Hepburn won three BAFTA Awards for Best British Actress in a Leading Role. In recognition of her film career, she received BAFTA's Lifetime Achievement Award, the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award, the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award and the Special Tony Award. Later in life, Hepburn devoted much of her time to UNICEF, to which she had contributed since 1954. Between 1988 and 1992, she worked in some of the poorest communities of Africa, South America and Asia. In December 1992, Hepburn received the US Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of her work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. A month later, she died of appendiceal cancer at her home in Tolochenaz, Vaud, Switzerland at the age of 63

L’eleganza è la sola bellezza che non sfiorisce mai”, diceva Audrey Hepburn, che se ne intendeva, avendo avuto tutte e due le doti, bellezza e eleganza.

“Ricordati, se mai dovessi aver bisogno di una mano che ti aiuti, che ne troverai una alla fine del tuo braccio... Nel diventare più maturo scoprirai che hai due mani. Una per aiutare te stesso, l’altra per aiutare gli altri.”

The Saturday Evening Post Book Review May/June 2004

AUDREY HEPBURN: A SON’S REFLECTIONS

A journey into a gentle heart and a loving son’s memories of 33 years lived with “a truly magical human being.”

Audrey Hepburn, An Elegant Spirit by Sean Hepburn Ferrer 230 pages, Atria Books, $29.95

Audrey Hepburn, most pleasing to the eye, is the subject of a new book by her son, Sean Hepburn Ferrer. The book offers from the family archives photos never before seen by the public. Audrey Hepburn, An Elegant Spirit is Ferrer’s attempt to provide a deeper understanding of the beautiful film star whom Cecil Beaton described as “the embodiment of a feminine ideal.”

In 1954, the famous photographer summed up “the person of Miss Audrey Hepburn” in an article for a women’s magazine. “Nobody ever looked like her before World War II; it is doubtful if anybody ever did, unless it be those wild children of the French Revolution who stride in the foreground of romantic canvases. . . . She is a wistful child of a war-chided era, and the shadow thrown across her youth underlines even more its precious evanescence,” he wrote.

In the late 1940s, Audrey had risen from the ruins of WWII like a phoenix. Growing up in Nazi-occupied Holland, she had suffered poverty and malnutrition. Once, rounded up with a group of young girls by a Nazi soldier to be part of a work detail, Hepburn bolted and ran through the alleys to escape. She hid in a cellar for days before dragging herself out of finding her way home. She was also heroic; like many other girls in Holland, she hid secret messages in her shoes for the Dutch underground.

Sean Ferrer and his mother, Audrey, in the garden of La Paisible, her beloved 18th-century farmhouse near Lake Geneva in Switzerland.

In the 1950s, Hepburn was asked to play the role of Anne Frank in The Diary of Anne Frank, a movie about the young Jewish girl who died in the Holocaust. Anne Frank and Hepburn had much in common; they were even the same age. Hepburn considered, but declined the role. “Reading her diary,” she said, “was like reading my own experiences from her point of view. I was quite destroyed by it.”

“Going back to that place would be too hard for her.” Ferrer writers.

But it was something other than the wartime experience that cast a shadow over Audrey Hepburn’s life, according to Ferrer. The abandonment by her father when she was six and his inability to connect emotionally with her when she found him again 20 years later affected her all her life. It is the reason she had such a deep desire to keep her family together.

During two marriages (which both had many happy years, according to Ferrer), Hepburn was successful at insulating her children from her Hollywood fame. They grew up in Europe, going to school with local children and hardly aware of her day job.

“When people ask me what it was like to have a famous mother,” Ferrer writes, “I always answer that I really don’t know.” His mother never watched her movies after they were made, he writes, and she shied away when anyone would bring up one of her roles in conversation. If she had a favorite movie, he adds, it was Funny Face with Fred Astaire, in which she was able to kick up her feet and show off her dancing skills. She had studied throughout her youth to become a prima ballerina, but at 5’7” and 110 pounds she was too tall and too heavy for male dancers of her age. She settled instead for being a model and actress.

Having read none of the seven biographies written about his mother, Ferrer nevertheless sympathizes with the writers who had to struggle and still couldn’t find anything scandalous to say about her. As Barry Paris wrote, in a recent book about Hepburn, “The worst thing she ever did, it seems, was forget to mention Patricia Neal at the 1964 Oscars” when she subbed for the ailing Neal in presenting the award for Best Actor.

Seven-year-old Audrey Hepburn’s 1936 British passport photo. Born Audrey Kathleen Ruston, she became “Hepburn” when her English father took on the name after WWII. The passport description reads: Hair: brown; Eyes: brown; Special peculiarities: None. “I beg to differ,” writes the author.

“She really was like those characters you saw in the movies,” Ferrer writes, “emotional, courageous, delicate, romantic.” As an actress she was always on time and always knew her lines. And she never would be heard speaking ill of fellow actors or directors—even Humphrey Bogart, who was so icy to her on the set of Sabrina, apparently because he didn’t like her acting. When Ferrer told his mother he thought that wasn’t fair of Bogart, Hepburn looked him straight in the eye and said that Bogart probably had good reason. It is possible, of course, that Bogart was afraid Hepburn would steal the show as she had from Gregory Peck in Roman Holiday. And she did.

Somewhat different was the strange case of Marlon Brando. In her first and only meeting with the famous macho actor early in her career at Paramount, the two were seated next to each other at an Actor’s Guild luncheon. As they sat down, Audrey said a shy hello. Brando said not a single word to her during the entire dinner. For 40 years, Ferrer says, his mother believed that Brando had shunned her. But in the hospital near the end of her life, she received a letter from the famous actor. A mutual friend must have told him of Hepburn’s feelings, and he wrote to set the record straight. Although she might have been shy of him at the luncheon, he recalled that he had been so much in awe of her that he was speechless. He couldn’t think of a single thing to say.

Ferrer’s touching account of his mother’s final illness is the most personal part of his memoir. Hepburn spent her last weeks surrounded by family and friends at her beloved 18th century farmhouse, La Paisible, near Lake Geneva in Switzerland. In a photo taken just three days before she died, a young Ferrer and his mother stand smiling in the garden. Hepburn, wrapped in a blue poncho against the January chill, is still lovely. Ferrer has his hand on her shoulder as if to hold her down to earth.

In the weeks before her death, a helicopter with paparazzi had been flying over. Once Hepburn, walking in the garden, had been forced to hurry back inside. Ferrer called an old family friend, a retired Swiss Army colonel, and asked if it would not be possible to stop helicopters from flying overhead on the day of his mother’s funeral.

“I was asking a man who had never bent a rule in his entire life,” Ferrer writes. This wasn’t Italy or France, where strings might be pulled and miracles accomplished, he adds. It was Switzerland, where such things don’t happen. The man came to the funeral but never called back to say if he had been successful.

As 25,000 visitors lined the streets of the small Swiss village of 1,200 inhabitants to silently watch the funeral, Ferrer helped carry the coffin down to the village church. There was not a plane in the sky. He later learned, he says, that an order had come down from he did not know how high in the government, decreeing a no-fly zone over the entire area. It was an indication just how much Audrey Hepburn was revered by the world. —Ted Kreiter

Audrey in Paris, 1954. The 24-year-old actress had just become the second person in history to win both the Oscar and the Tony for Best Actress in the same year, a feat no one has since equaled. It was only her first starring movie role and her second play.

Back to Black

The Iconic “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” of Audrey Hepburn is Still Paving!

A lot of people are still remaking and doing inspired outfits by Audrey Hepburn’s iconic outfit in her film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”

Many people are still wearing sleeveless black dresses with their black long gloves and black heels. Pairing it with the big necklace, earrings, and a tiara.

Audrey Hepburn is known for being an icon in the fashion industry but a lot of people do not know that she is more than a fashion icon.

Her original name is Edda van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston. Her mother changed her name Audrey into Edda as she thought that her daughter’s name could be a problem for the occupiers in the war. But she took her name Audrey back as her government name again and soon enough to change her last name to Hepburn.

She is known for her gracefulness as she had a beautiful poise and elegant beauty. She became a role model of the women in the 1950’s, she is known for being modern but still what she does is still attainable for people who wanted to be like her. She thinks anyone could be beautiful like her.

She was born in Ixelles, Brussels, Belgium on May 4, 1929. She has been exposed to war since she was little as her father is one of the governors of their place. She suffered from malnutrition as the war continued and they had to hide from places near the war. She enjoys dancing and she knows how to do ballet. She studied ballet as a teenager and became a model and a dancer in her early 20’s until she was casted in a movie as her acting career was the job she chose.

She is known for roles in Roman Holiday (1953), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), and My Fair Lady (1964). And she admitted that she likes clothes and fashion that’s why she is known in the fashion industry as she contributed a lot until now.

She tends to keep her life private but the media won’t let her. All of her relationships were seen to the media and they all saw how it ended. A lot of people meddle with her relationships and what she was up to. It made her struggle as she wants to protect her children and her family but the situations won’t let her.

After being in the film industry for years, she finally stopped filming and went to Switzerland. She does not have a husband and just lives a soft life in her garden. She is with her best friend, Robert Wolders, who stayed and helped her when she was working in UNICEF. Her socializing, empathizing, and caring characteristics were more seen when she was helping kids who have malnutrition in Africa. She was serving people until she died of cancer at the age of 63.

Audrey just wanted to feel love as she lived. She lives for loving people. She dreams of feeling the hole in her heart that her parents gave her but she had her broken heart twice. She wanted peace so she decided to stop looking for a husband. She decided to help children instead. She wanted to help people and she had faith in changing the world as she poured the love she has in her heart.

Many people love her for her contributions in the film and fashion industry. But people know she is more than just an icon. She was a loving person who only wanted love and peace not only for herself, but also to the world.

Audrey Kathleen Hepburn-Ruston (Bruxelas, 4 de maio de 1929 — Tolochenaz, 20 de janeiro de 1993), mais conhecida como Audrey Hepburn, foi uma atriz e filantropa britânica. Após pequenas aparições em vários filmes, ela estrelou na Broadway na peça Gigi depois de ter sido descoberta pela romancista francesa Colette, em cujo trabalho a peça foi baseada. Ela chegou ao estrelato depois de ter interpretado o papel principal em Roman Holiday (1953), pelo qual ganhou o Óscar, BAFTA e Globo de Ouro de melhor atriz, tornando-se a primeira atriz a vencer os prêmios supracitados por uma única atuação, além do New York Film Critics Circle na mesma categoria. Naquele mesmo ano, Hepburn ganhou o Prêmio Tony de melhor atriz principal em peça por sua atuação em Ondine. Sua segunda indicação ao Óscar de melhor atriz veio no ano seguinte, com o filme Sabrina (1954). Ela passou a estrelar uma série de filmes naquela década, como War and Peace (1956), Funny Face (1957), Green Mansions e The Nun's Story (ambos de 1959), tendo sido nomeada ao Óscar e ao Globo de Ouro e vencido o BAFTA e New York Film Critics Circle de melhor atriz por este último.
