Actress Rachel Zegler drew inspiration from classic film in crafting the character of Lucy Gray Baird for “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” particularly actress Audrey Hepburn.
The “Hunger Games” prequel tells the story of the first games, focusing specifically on the relationship between District 12 contestant Lucy Gray Baird and a young Coriolanus Snow.
The character of Lucy Gray Baird is not just a musical performer, but also has an inner uniqueness that Zegler was drawn to and found reminiscent of Hepburn’s performance in the 1963 feature “Charade.” “Audrey Hepburn plays … She’s a little kooky, she’s a little ditzy but also very grounded and sure of herself, and has the self-preservation motivation for most of the film which is just her staying alive,” said Zegler.
And much like “Charade,” which vacillates between being a comedy and a mystery, was something Zegler also took to heart,...

Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn were two of the biggest movie stars of their day, bringing a delightful levity and emotional complexity to their roles that were seldom matched by their peers. It was only a matter of time before they would team up in "Charade," a romantic mystery that put their comedic charm on full display. As scene-partners, their on-screen chemistry was incredibly compatible, leaving fans wondering why they only co-starred in a single film. As it turns out, Grant was offered quite a few roles opposite Hepburn before "Charade," but turned them down for one very sensible reason.

This resemblance was no accident, according to Stanley Donan, the director of "Charade." "I always wanted to make a movie like one of my favorites,...
