Lots of celebrities love animals. Some show this love by having multiple pets, rescuing animals, helping shelter pets, or advocating for protecting endangered species. For a period of time, Audrey Hepburn had a baby deer to help make filming the movie Green Mansions more believable.

The film Green Mansions was released in 1959. Audrey Hepburn and Anthony Perkins starred in the movie, and it was directed by Hepburn’s husband at the time, Mel Ferrer.
In the movie, Hepburn plays a character named Rima who lives in a jungle. This role required Hepburn to appear natural when interacting with different wildlife. According to AnOther Magazine, this led to Hepburn having a pet fawn named Pippin for a time.

Nehemiah Persoff, who appeared as Barbra Streisand’s rabbi father in “Yentl” and had roles in hundreds of films and TV series including “Some Like It Hot” and “Twins,” died Tuesday in San Luis Obispo, Calif. He was 102.
His death was confirmed by his daughter, Dahlia Reano. Beyond prolific, Persoff racked up almost 200 credits in film and TV in a career that began in the very earliest days of television.
Persoff broke through in the 1959 movie “Some Like It Hot,” in which he played mobster boss Little Bonaparte. (The actor had been the last surviving member of the cast.) Early in his career, he was known for playing villainous tough guys, such as in Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Wrong Man,” starring Henry Fonda, and “Al Capone,” starring Rod Steiger, in which he had a substantial role as Johnny Torrio, the mobster who mentored Capone only to be replaced by him.

Prolific Filipino helmer Adolfo Borinaga Alix Jr.’s latest big-screen endeavor “Mystery of the Night” is a supernatural folktale so beautifully atmospheric that one can almost overlook its escalating problems — for a while, at least. But this saga of an allegorical rape of Mother Nature by Western civilization, avenged by her forest she-creatures, eventually grows too humorlessly turgid to be as impactful as intended.
In the end, it’s an old-school Philippines cinema exercise in women weeping for the sins visited upon them by men, even if here the horror trappings allow for some payback. Those genre elements, as well as the film’s visual beauty, will be its major lure to non-Tagalog-speaking viewers.
After a brief flash-forward to climactic events, and opening credits that, in shadow-play style (performed by El Gamma Penumbra) illustrate the mythology of vengeful forest spirits (aka Aswang of Filipino folklore), the story begins in a...

Audrey Hepburn in Green Mansions (but better dressed which is weird to say about anything Audrey)
That neck purse looks very uncomfortable
Oh how cute, all three stars are Golden Globe winners.
I hate when Cate Blanchett chops Samantha Morton's head off in 'Elizabeth: Full Throttle'
That's a pretty wide stance... is she running? Doesn't the whole play take place in a kitchen? The posters already panicking "open it up. open it up"
Period frizz is the enemy: See also La Pfeiff in that age that was innocent.
Liv Ullman is flawless in Bergman movies. I did see her last directorial gig Faithless (2000) and I liked it as an actor's showcase but not more than that.
Green is my favorite co-- no, second favorite color. Purple.
I wish this were directed by Jane Campion but then she's...

Audrey Hepburn is iconic. Her image has perhaps eclipsed her performances in the many movies she starred in before her early retirement to focus on Unicef. This new collection from Taschen (previously available only in a limited art edition) demonstrates just why this happened. The camera simply loved Audrey Hepburn. These photographs, taken by Hollywood photographer Bob Willoughby, show that whether she was relaxing at home, posing for stills or working on set, she was a radiant, mesmerising presence. After first meeting at Paramount Studios in 1953 to promote Roman Holiday, Willoughby and Hepburn became close friends. The way she was able to relax in his presence clearly comes through in so many of these fabulous photos.
Although the book does serve to reinforce Hepburn's visual impact,...

Anthony Perkins made his film debut in The Actress (1953) in which he received the Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year and three years later he received an an Academy Award nomination for his second film, Friendly Persuasion (1956). Although Perkins specialized in playing many awkward young men, notably in Fear Strikes Out (1957), The Tin Star (1957), and Desire Under the Elms (1958), he will always be known best for his role as Norman Bates in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho.
The actor also went on to create a critically-acclaimed portrayal of Joseph K. in Orson Welles’ The Trial (1962) a cinematic adaptation of the novel by Franz Kafka, and in 1968 he took the role of a disturbed young murderer in Pretty Poison (1968), which served to affect the rest of his career.

Mel Ferrer, whose career as a performer, director, producer and writer spanned six decades, has died at age 90.
Ferrer died Monday at his ranch near Santa Barbara, family spokesman Mike Mena said.
"It's a sad occasion, but he did live a long and productive life," Mena said Tuesday.
He appeared in more than 100 films and made-for-television movies, directed nine films and produced nine more.
Ferrer's most impressive film role came in 1953 in "Lili." He played a disabled carnival puppeteer with whom a French orphan (played by Leslie Caron) falls in love.
On the big screen, Ferrer was most recognizable for his performance as Prince Andrei in "War and Peace" in 1956 with Audrey Hepburn and Henry Fonda. He was paid the then princely sum of $100,000. He appeared in "The Sun Also Rises" alongside Ava Gardner, Tyrone Power and Errol Flynn.
