After so many drive-in waitresses becoming movie stars, there has been this real drought, when along came class; somebody who actually went to school, can spell, maybe even plays the piano. She may be a wispy, thin little thing, but when you see that girl, you know you’re really in the presence of something. In that league there’s only ever been Garbo, and the other Hepburn, and maybe Bergman. It’s a rare quality, but boy, do you know when you’ve found it."

"It was my good luck, during that wonderful summer in Rome, to be the first of her screen fellows, to hold out my hand, and help her keep her balance as she did her spins and pirouettes. Those months were probably the happiest experience I ever had making movies… she made everybody in the world fall in love with her." 

- Gregory Peck

Audrey was known for something which has disappeared, and that is elegance, grace and manners … God kissed her on the cheek, and there she was.

Happy 85th Birthday, Audrey Kathleen Ruston aka Audrey Hepburn 

”I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.”

(May 4th 1929 - January 20th 1993)

Remembering UNICEF's Goodwill Ambassador on her 85th birthday: 

One cannot wait until the crisis is resolved to take care of the problems of children: they cannot wait.  To save one child is a blessing; to save one million is a God-given opportunity.

“I'm an introvert... I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, the sky.”
