the minute i saw her entering stage i started crying
she's been my idol for so long i wish i had known her
Two great legends. I was lucky to have known Audrey in Switzerland and all I can say is that she was everything you think and then some. You haven't lived until you were with her in the kitchen and she was cooking spaghetti for you. Even that, she did in a classy way.
My wife and I were fortunate enough to attend the Film Society Of Lincoln Center Gala Tribute to Hepburn before her untimely death and it was sensational! It's great that we have indelible memories of her via her performances in Funny Face, Charade, Roman Holliday, My Fair Lady, Breakfast at Tiffay's, et al, however, it would have been terrific to have reunited her with Cary Grant or Astaire before she went into semi-retirement in the late 60s/early 70s.
She was a treasure.
TheTerryE I just wish she never had been such a heavy smoker. She might still be with us...
Luckiest person on the planet I would have given my right arm to just glance upon her once .
DDumbrille Unfortunately, the bloody ciggies did her in.
Beautiful Audrey especially when she was sick with cancer I wish her the best journey to the afterlife my Darling girl
Wow! One of the rare times you'd see Audrey in a strapless gown. Always classy and elegant. And that voice. What a treasure.

How incredible this woman can be?
My God Ms. Hepburn was drop dead gorgeous not to mention a super talent. Miss her very much.
she was so gorgeous... love you audrey!
amazing woman! when she talks you listen, their is something magical about her it makes my hair stand on end!
OMG! Her voice 😍 It always makes me peaceful
A beautiful, elegant, angelic woman who shall live in my heart forever.
just seeing her in this videos made me tear up oh god this woman made a huge impact in my life ❤❤❤
Her voice was still very sweet even if she was not young in this video.
Every single word coming out of her mouth sounds pleasing to the ear.
A REAL LEGEND...
villanodeoro Who, Audrey or King?
@@julieta5375 Audrey!
There she is, Audrey facing the cancer and still looks more graceful and beautiful that the 90% of current celebrities ...together.
"...facing the cancer"?
This was 1979, 13 years before death
earl campbell you mean 14 years
can't believe this misleading comment got so many upvotes. We do live in an anti-intellectual society
She did not wear a necklace. The most anticlimactic part of her look. Pure elegance.
I loooooove King! One of the finest directors of all-time and it's not said nearly enough!
Elegance and class personified.
Clearly older, but still just as gorgeous and sweet as ever.
Two legends Audrey and the under-rated King Vidor.
absolute elegance in every movement
Most people aren't aware he directed the Kansas sequences in 'Wizard of Oz'.
Vidor's autobiography is a must read!
What an everlasting beauty..
I first saw Ms. Hepburn, in Steven Speilberg’s film Always. Those she played a minor role, she was memorable,
love her dress
FLAWLESS
she is so fucking classy
love Audrey's look and voice... so cute and classy
King Vidor was alegendary great Director. Audrey Hepburn was the classiest Lady in Hollywood. A skilled actress, an Oscar winner, a box office star, a real Movie Star! There is a sculpture outside the Unicef Bldg in NYC of Audrey recognizing Her work with the children of the world. Both are misses! Vidor towards the end of his life was working on the murder of a silent screen Director and silent film superstars Mary Miles Minter and Mabel Normand were central to the case.
in a CLASS...along w/ Wyler, Wilder, Griffith, Mankiewicz, Kubrick, & that guy who directed BOTH 'Gone w/ the Wind' & 'Oz' in '39...of his OWN!!
A genius & LEGEND!!!
Audrey Hepburn Beautiful woman
So on love with her and will always be
Masterful film director one of the greatest and love his films it’s like watching a dream while sitting down
What a legend. He started as a very young director in the silent film era when Pickford, Chaplin, and their contemporaries were the stars and went on to direct important pictures right through the 1950's. From the WW I drama the Big Parade with John Gilbert to Hallelujah, an all black musical when Hollywood opposed that concept to War and Peace with Audrey and The Champ with a young Jackie Cooper. He also at his own expense investigated and may have solved the cold case murder of a silent film director William Desmond Taylor. A book was published about his efforts aided by, among others, Colleen Moore an early flapper in silent pictures and a successful businesswoman in her own right.
That's a great read- "A Cast of Killers", started by King Vidor and completed by Sidney Kirkpatrick in 1986.
Nice that SHOW PEOPLE (1928) was mentioned. One of three films King Vidor made with the great Marion Davies!
Sad how today's recipients aren't being recognised in this manner anymore.
Audrey Hepburn is sooo amazing and beautiful 😍❤😚👑
I Love Audrey Hepburn.
I can´t remember a female actress who was as slim as Audrey Hepburn was. Such a great woman.
The gown the gown!!! Wowww
You want class, get Audrey.
She was 50 at the time of this broadcast. Speaks volumes about the lasting benefits of ballet training.
Angela Bolton almost 51
What are you talking about? she looks way older and not very healthy
One of the pioneers - From 1913 - 1980 (1913-1918 as an actor) one of the hardest working people in Hollywood....I think only Mickey Rooney and Olivia De Havilland had a longer 'active' career in Hollywood. Also FAMOUS for being in that double wedding when he was marrying actress Eleanor Boardman and Greta Garbo never appeared and left actor John Gilbert standing at the alter.
I believe Ms.Lilian Gish's career spanned about 75 years,...*yup I'm 7-years late seeing this vid*.
Please could you upload Gene Kelly's Honorary Oscar win in 1952 and of Charlton Heston winning the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian award in 1978?
Lol people care more about Audrey in this clip than King
Probably they didn't watch a single movie of both of them.
cagriebler King Vidor directed the sepia bookend scenes in the Wizard of Oz, so I'm pretty sure everyone has seen his stuff, even if they didn't know it.
It doesn't count
@@mr.balloffur So he did! Nice work.
@@Dreamskater100 I’ve seen War And Peace which starred Audrey Hepburn which I liked but not anymore as it wasn’t as loyal as the source material and is rushed, it did get me interested in reading the book. The Fountainhead which is my personal favourite but does have mixed thoughts from the public as it’s about an architect with individualism who refused to conform written by Ayn Rand who also wrote the book. Stella Dallas which’s my favourite Barbara Stanwyck film with it’s drama and a proper example of soap operas as it’s supposed to be (honestly have seen so so little), the end is most likely to make you cry. The Crowd which was innovative and unforgettable with its cinematography especially for 1928.
his best Movie is the big parade in my opinion. Awasome filmmaker
omg such iconic 😳😳😳😳😥😥😥😥
Acording to the credits, there was a clip honoring King Vidor, but it wasn't aired for some reason
The clips were cut from this due to rights issues.
Goddess!!
영원한 오드리
The video is about the Great Hollywood director King Vidor, and all the comments are about how lovely Miss Hepburn is. Sad.
Legends, quality, and class: These are three of the biggest things missing from the bloated P.C. borefests that the Oscar Ceremony is in our modern times. :-(
They should have shown clips.
오드리햅번 뷰티풀~♡♡♡
How about Mickey Rooney's Honorary Oscar win!!!! I think that would be great!!
Highly unlikely you'd see any so-called female (or male) star in 2020 go without million dollar bling walking the carpet at the Academy Awards. With Audrey, less was definitely more.
Where have celebrities like her disappeared? Aging gracefully without surgeries & silicone., And no hiding from public !
Skeletal appearance of a charming woman.

she needed my mom's meatloaf or spaghetti
1:54
Was she ok here?
Florida Girl yep before 1993
Poor Audrey already looked sick :(
Then: Johnny Carson introduces Audrey Hepburn introduces King Vidor.
Today: one mediocrity introduces another mediocrity introduces another mediocrity for an audience of five-year-old so-called adults who pay to see brain-dead comic book movies.
Sweet. but sad she was a heavy smoker and almost anorexic...
+DDumbrille cancer....was cancer
+Nomeolvides b First of all, this is from 1979 -- 13 years before she was diagnosed with cancer. And secondly, did you ever stop to think maybe where did the cancer come from, at least in part?
Dr.DouglassD 14years because Audrey died in 1993 and this is 1979 how would 13 years if u add them it will be 1992
Audrey looked frail here
So thin!
shes so skinny tho
She had cancer.
She experienced puberty in Nazi-occupied Holland when the Nazis decided to starve the Dutch into submission.
Miriam Butcher wrong.... this is 1979...... she lived until 1993. Why in the world would you say that without researching it? Also being thin was Audrey and part of the reason she is so fabulous.
Divine Miss B or maybe it was her elegance, class, and talent? Marilyn Monroe was also a 50's icon and she wasn't skinny, to claim the reason Audrey was successful was her thinness is not only wrong but upsetting.
Ani Rose plus her thin frame, don’t invalidate that truth. It’s a part of AH identity
How old was she here?
Maryanne Wambui 50
The hair doesn't look good on her.
the Voice in your head well I guess its a 1979 style of audrey
wrong dress
What dress?
Jesús Fernández García Audrey dress
Evgenia your fashion taste is as ugly as your name and face!
Wow what a crack to say wrong dress hah! So whats the right dress for her ? You idiot
Skinny!! Gotta eat more. And she is NOT sexy!!! What a problem!
she had cancer.
Do some research before talking down on a woman who suffered from malnutrition during ww2.
She was ridiculous thin. Bad role model.
She's cute but that plunging neckline is a misfit when u don't have an hourglass figure to match it with (somebody like Loren could really bring it out magically)..Hepburn was fine but I'd prefer a normal looking actress body wise like Taylor or Loren..at least who looked normal n healthy so that women fr decades could stop aspiring to have this emaciated look fr no reason
