she aged beautifully
@James Henderson I don't like that about her but in spite of that Audrey was a wonderful human being. She wasn't only a smoker
@@vio3366 a lot of people smoked back then cus they didn’t know how bad it was for them. And it’s very hard to give it up.
@@lorrainenolan9154 Yes! And she associated smoking with freedom I highly recommend reading that story from the day Holland was liberated, it is a lovely story but indeed smoking is a quite harmful habit, so glad nowadays people seems to be more conscious about it.
Her smoking was her business. What has it to do with her receiving this well-earned Bafta, I wonder. She was a class act who probably didn't notice Anne's coolness.
Even when she is old she is still beautiful and has this charisma
She looked more like a princess than the princess
She left us way too soon.
@James Henderson to your surprise she died from from appendix cancer in January 20th, 1993.
@James Henderson yes, smoking did play its part in the whole cancer thing but so did the childhood starvation, several miscarriages and other heath issues. You cant just blame it all on smoking. It was her life after all and her choises, not yours. Do some reasearch before speaking bullshit.
@James Henderson she was 11. 13-14 is when teenage years start. Youre stupider than i thought.
Definition of class and humility.
handsome!
Princess Anne is cold. How could you NOT smile when Audrey Hepburn looks directly at you and says, "Thank You".
my first thought too. Vive la Republique!
+Jeremy Smith Anne was in her 42nd year at this point. Old enough to show some manners. Audrey was so gracious towards her in her speech. Anne should genuflect to Audrey who achieved more than any so called royal of that era!
+Jeremy Smith Nice comments :) ps I aspire to have a personality like hers. You must be a lovely person ;)
She was the ice princess !!
All the Mountbatten-Windsors of that generation were like that. Hence the difference Diana made.
A rare, beautiful soul.
That sums it perfectly.
Endless respect to this truly lovely lady and Mom.
So hard to believe that she died in January 1993--so soon after this awards presentation. She may have already been ill from the cancer that claimed her life but probably not wanting to "call attention" to herself suffered in silence. What a class act! Regardless of whether you liked her acting, no one can deny that her poise and grace are largely absent from this current generation of so-called stars who do nothing but call attention to themselves!
Your last lines are so true!
This was a woman who was a true Princess. Much admired and rightly so. Especially how much she gave of herself to family and UNICEF in her final years.
@@lenhummel5614 1992 - I was a Sailor onboard the USS Tarawa (US Navy) sailing along the coast of war-torn Somalia, Ms. Audrey Hepburn was doing humanitarian work in that nation. Ms. Hepburn was flown every night to our ship by military helicopter and flown back to the shore in the morning. Every night she updates the crew on her work as a UNICEF Ambassador and we're glad to have such a lovely human being with us. Ms. Hepburn has everything, fame and fortune,... but does such a noble work in a remote and impoverished country. Truly an angel.
Do you think it is possible that someone could not like her acting?
Not only in the film industry but every field. The world has changed. Value is based on materialistic things, sex, money and fame hunger...
I just watched a documentary on her on Netflix and she said at the end that she loved people unconditionally. She was even more beautiful on the inside than she was on the outside. Rest in peace lovely Audrey, you will never be forgotten.
What's the name of the documentary?
And still make the difference between people what`s INSIDE and not outside. But people judge you how do you look and some other imprefections, but INSIDE they don`t care, they treat you like an empty box.
👍
...and that..........for me she`s the best looing female ever....
I would agree, Princess Anne seems to be struggling to get into the award-giving mood! If it can be said that 'princess' is not so much a title, as it is a qualify of thought, it might be said that Mrs. Hepburn was more the princess in the room that evening.
Anne was jealous since she must be thinking if she was not born in a royal family, she's nothing!
Winston L Audrey Hepburn's mother was Ella, Baroness of Heemstra. Audrey Hepburn's brothers were noble born.
Audrey Hepburn's father was, well, not a good person during the war. British Union of Fascists(BUF) was the group Roger Waters modeled his stormtroopers in _The Wall_ after.
Audrey's father abandoned Audrey and her mother to be an insurrectionist.
Audrey Hepburn's life story is quite astounding, associating with the Dutch Underground during the German occupation of the Low Countries, nearly starving to death, not able to get medicine, having friends die, watching a young child being sent to one of *those trains* for camp.
She (Audrey Hepburn) was a Princess in a Fairy tale.
@@winstonl4573 so youre nothing?
Princess Anne ...alway so cold and detached. So opposite to her beloved mother.
Audrey is the biggest treasure that we have ever had.
Absolutely incredible. Who would have ever thought that she would be dead from cancer in a year? Once in a lifetime; people like her come around only that often.
Stephen Pruszenski She did smoke 3 packs a day
Much less? It killed her.
didnt know she was such a heavy smoker. How can she be so reckless of herself 😭
Cyril TV
Really? Please consider the time frame AH came up in. Even as late as the early 1960's U.S. tobacco companies advertised smoking as a "healthy" activity! Even many doctors backed this claim. Especially in her world, people drank and smoked almost
de rigueur.
Everyone has something they can improve on in their lives. No one is a perfect person.
@@SpeedDemon1152 Back in the 50s & 60s when she was smoking the tobacco companies didn’t admit to causing health issues yet, plus she died from appendix cancer not long cancer.
The elegance,humility and grace of Audrey made her look more like the real princess.
It's really sad, she passed away a next year. She deserve more 20 years of living so new generation can remember such legend.
yup
We do remember and love her... She is an inspiration to so many of us
Audrey Hepburn hasn't been forgotten.
Ditto.!!!!!!!
She will always live in our hearts.!!!!
Legends never die
it's almost unbelievable that about one year after this monumental speech she passed away. So sad. she was very proud of her having been part of the industry for which a wide spectrum of people work so hard.
one month after*
It was 1993 when she died. I remember well because when I told my mom about her passing, we both cried.
aww
Can anybody possibly hate her? She has set example that more than outer beauty its the inner beauty that counts and can even change the world for good. Lets follow her footstep and legacy.
what a wonderful human!
You can feel the warmth for her from the audience.
She is grace personified!
She went to Somalia around August 1992. Upon her return, due to abdominal pain, she went for testing in Switzerland with inconclusive results. She continued on with testing in Los Angelos and in November was diagnosed with a rare form of abdominal cancer, which had metastasized after years of spreading as a thin coating over her small intestine. She underwent surgery followed by chemo but it was too late. She passed away in January 1993. I don't believe she knew about her cancer during this speech.
It breaks my heart that she died from cancer just a year after this. Such a sudden and painful death for someone so pure. I like to think to myself she “didn’t die” she just went back to heaven.
Such a Beautiful Comment..
"She just went back to heaven"
Thank you.
What’s sudden about cancer?
@@LoinclothRising Some people die within a week of diagnosis, many within a month.
While this was not the case for Audrey, it was pretty sudden in that she had a 'successful' surgery in November 1992 and died just 2 months later.
Such an elegant soul. Truly a queen.
I am mesmerised watching this acceptance speech. What a lovely lady Audrey Hepburn was. A true cinema icon.
Beautiful at every age, the one and only Audrey Hepburn. Sophisticated, gifted actress, phenomenal humanitarian, awesome mother -- wonderful Spirit! Rest in peace.
So special and unassuming. Her work with children abroad can never be forgotten.
Sleep well Audrey... ♥
A beautiful soul~ charming as a dove
true angel, rest in peace my love
she has the SWEETEST energy
what a lovely person. i love her so much!
the most iconic lady of all time. ageing gracefully.
One of the most beautiful and graceful woman to have walked on the planet earth!!!
Love Audrey- great gift for humanity.A woman of great valour
Audrey Hepburn has left us far too soon and we all miss her dearly. In fact, she was simply a great princess in disguise.❤😊
She had such an individually, lovely charismn
Great soul, rare and marvelous human being.
Pure class
To bad she is no longer here the world need more Audrey. I recently had my little niece who just turned 12 to watch her in Funny face and she was in awe just like I was when I first watched it and her very first movie "Roman Holiday" she spoke about the outfits and she just was so in love with the movies we watched them at least three times or more until she went home. I love how movies like Romain Holiday and Funny face still have the same effects they had on my grandmother when she watched it with my mom to my mother watching it with me, and now getting the opportunity to share it with my daughter and nieces. I can't wait to experience Gone with the wind with her and Meet me in Saint Loui. Even though old Hollywood has it's negatives the hard work, dedication, and thought that went into each and every little detail is what made these and so many more classics magical for generations down the line.
Just in Awe of her. Marvelous
Audrey Hepburn is the 'true' princess !
Among the rare celebrities growing old gracefully without surgeries & fillers.
Onlookers reveal the same adoration I still feel for this woman. I'm sure she had her faults, but if I'd gotten to wake up to Audrey every morning, it would certainly not have been my worst fate.
She tries to hide her real and genuine self but she cannot, it slips out ever now and then. This is one actor in Hollywood I can say I admire and love.
the beautiful and talented Audbrey Hepburn. Always got a kick out of watching her perform. I always thought she was beautiful and graceful. Thank you Aubrey for making watching television magical.
She might have not lived a "long" life, but surely surely, she had lived a beautiFULL one. Audrey Hepburn, rest in beauty and peace 💖☁
Audrey was more of a true princess than Anne could ever be.
A true classic that doesn't come around everyday!
she was just 63 that time, but why she looks more than that! but still beautiful
Because she was smoking 3 packs per day. Still beautiful, I agree, but I'm angry especially with beautiful people who smoke and ruin their looks that way. Not to mention risk of getting cancer and other diseases...
And i am really sad that she don't have a daughter!
+Slob Humar yes 💃
I don't remember what month this was in '92, but she died in January 1993. Cancer of appendix.
pamla motown yes :(
What a truly beautiful human being inside and out. How could anyone not love her?
Pure class and grace!!!! Anne should have bowed to Audrey!!!
...she is simply glorious. I say she is, for she has left a lovely footprint in our hearts.
Wonderful person, great actress and just a speical lady . Rest in Peace Audrey xxx
She was a very sweet person , and a very good actress and see no reason not to love her, as you can see her down in Africa with those children and her being Swiss, French her love for Humanity, as the Swiss had no wars for 200 years of their Neutrality make a good example in the world how a country should be run and a country that is well liked in this world, as the USA is the only one with the constitution should take as example!
They should give this angel milion awards for her briliant heart. My lovely queen😗😗😗😗😍😍😍😍
I love Audrey Hepburn! she was SO pretty!
She is the epitome of beauty and grace hands down🥰🥰🥰🥰
she was such a wonderful person who deserved a lot more time
she defines elegance and class!
such a class act, lovely
She is just Amazing! 💖
I think every aspect about Miss Hepburn that I , forgive the expression but it’s true, worship, has already been inscribed many times over. It’s just nice to express my feelings! Thank you. If the world were filled with her mindset…. She really is an icon and grace, poise. And generosity.
A last glimpse of an exquisite beacon of love, light, and perfection.....
A salute to Princess Audrey Hepburn, a character with a kind heart and a beautiful smile May your soul rest in peace I watch you from Saudi Arabia
the very definition of class, elegance and humility
Sparkling and genuine.
What a wonderful woman and she DID SO MUCH.
Audrey Hepburn was such an elegant and incredibly beautiful lady.
"Antarctica" should be Princess Anne's nickname. Brrr!
@Buffalo 66 HHahahh! How i love your comment hahah!
The biggest and best reference of glamour and elegance
She was as beautiful in old age as in her youth. She had an inner beauty, grace and class that just shined through her at all times. A truly Great Lady in every sense of the word.
she was one of a kind!
Yeah so even the Princess clapped for her at the end- Audrey was something special.
Your remarks, Audrey, are inspiring me today to draft my remarks for a career in the Foreign Service. You are a great inspiration to this day for your service as a humanitarian, your fun films, and your contributions to fashion and culture that are a part of our lives today.
Beautiful words...
Respect for all people ♥️
So stunning and classy until her last days. RIP. ♥️
