Review of Audrey

Audrey (I) (2020)
8/10
THE ONE & ONLY...!
15 April 2021
An informative Netflix documentary of the silver screen's most luminous actress; Audrey Hepburn. Born to dire straits during WWII in Europe but still able to scratch her performing itch by becoming a dancer which led to her getting a series of bit parts (famously a walk-on of sorts in The Lavender Hill Mob) but when cast in William Wyler's Roman Holiday, she became a superstar overnight (winning a Best Actress Oscar for her troubles). Seemingly to have the Midas touch when it came to iconic roles, Hepburn could do no wrong (even partnering w/fashion designer Givenchy to cultivate not only getting the right roles but looking spectacular doing it). Famously retiring after making Wait Until Dark for about a decade, her star never faltered due to her philanthropic pursuits (even becoming the ambassador for the United Way) Never finding the kind of happiness in her lovelife, she did manage to devote herself to her children & the friends in her orbit. Effortless in her beauty & grace, Hepburn epitomizes a kind of celebrity which is rare in our rapid, like or subscribe times.
