Jack Hawkins presents Audrey Hepburn with her British Film Academy Award for her performance in "Roman Holiday" at Lime Grove Studios during the BBC's television presentation of "In Town Tonight", London, January 9, 1955. Jack Hawkins carried the award with him for 7 months. Also with Audrey is her husband, Mel Ferrer.
Audrey Hepburn photographed on location in the Belgian Congo for “The Nun’s Story”, 1958. If you’ve never seen The Nun’s Story, it’s a beautiful film about character, integrity and introspection. It explores that internal struggle between being the person that is expected of you and living in your own truth and recognizing your limitations. Audrey gives a brilliantly powerful and contemplative performance, which should have resulted in an Oscar win. According to Rob Wolders, Audrey said that Sister Luke was the role she felt most connected to throughout her career. The film meant a great deal to Audrey and during production she became close friends with Kathryn Hulme, the author of The Nun’s Story. Kathryn, whom the book and movie is based on, was by Audrey’s bedside after she broke her back from a terrible horseback riding accident that resulted in a miscarriage. The Nun’s Story is a departure from Audrey’s typical movie repertoire. She isn’t wearing Givenchy or dancing on the streets of Paris with Fred Astaire. Her poignant performance will leave you tearful. She shows her true strength as an actress. Definitely worth the watch.

Now on my Patreon! Audrey Hepburn on the cover + article of Woman’s Own magazine, August 1954.
"No one has been more approachable. Very few in her position could have remained so natural and so completely unspoiled. For instance, when she went to the Academy Award ceremony, she went protesting that she would not win an Oscar, in spite of all her friends' assurances to the contrary. Although she admits she has never lacked a beau- 'not since I was 17, anyway'- she attended the occasion with her mother. They raced there in a cab after a performance at the theatre, with Audrey still wearing full theatrical make-up. After her name had been called from the stage she sat frozen in her chair for almost a minute, lost in dreams."
In my last post, I announced that Luca Dotti, Audrey’s son, had graciously agreed to answer fan questions. I’ve posted his first answer on my Patreon (Link in bio) and already I’ve learned something new about Audrey! 1. What was a happy memory from Audrey’s childhood? Did she discuss her childhood with you? Patreon is a platform for creators to post exclusive content. On my Patreon, I post rare and unpublished photos of Audrey from my personal collection, vintage magazine articles, and original content like this Q&A with Luca. You choose how much you want to donate each month. The money helps to fund my archives, which I then share with all of you.
Now on my patreon! Rare, never before published photos and a write up about Audrey Hepburn and Michael Tilson Thomas. Thank you to @mtilsonthomas and his team for providing me with quotes and information for this special project. If you visit my patreon you will be able to read my original piece about their collaboration as they brought to life the words of Anne Frank.
“Audrey's simplicity, her deeply caring nature, the ingenuous sing-song of her voice are all present in the phrase shapes of the orchestra. The work would never have existed without her, and it is dedicated to her.” – Michael Tilson Thomas
I changed the set up of my Patreon. You can now choose how much you want to donate. I found the tier system too restrictive. I hope to include more original pieces like this in the future. I’ll also be answering any Audrey related questions on my Patreon too. Hope to see you there!

Barbara Walters: You’re not alone you have a man in your life who loves you very much. Audrey Hepburn: I have a wonderful man in my life. I have my Robert. We have so much in common, he’s so good to me, he takes great care of me! And it’s a wonderful feeling to be able to not only love somebody, be loved, but to trust them. Walters: Do you want to remarry? Is it important? Hepburn: No, it’s not important. I am sort of married to Robert, we are always together and we have been for nine years. Walters: But you haven’t married. Hepburn: No. There is no reason for not marrying or marrying. Actually, in fact, maybe this way it’s a little more romantic. Walters: Are you happy? Hepburn: Very. Walters: The best time of your life? Hepburn: Best time of my life. Took awhile but I got there.

An article I wrote about Audrey Hepburn's activism and humanitarianism. It's an in-depth recount of Audrey's advocacy from WWII to UNICEF to her Presidential Medal of Freedom. I also discuss her connection with Anne Frank and her work with Michael Tilson Thomas. I hope you enjoy it. This is a subject very dear to my heart and I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts.
