I would love to see a show about Jacqueline Kennedy. Here's part of an interview. There are longer versions.

Audrey Kathleen Ruston (according to Google) was born in Ixelles, Belgium to a Dutch Baroness and an English businessman. She spoke six languages, which were Dutch, English, French, Italian, Spanish, and German. Originally, she wanted to be a professional Ballet Dancer, however, when the Nazi party took power in Holland (where she was living in 1940), she had to give up that dream. Instead, as a teenager, she supported the Dutch Resistance by raising money and delivering secret messages. It was during this time that she became extremely malnourished, which affected her all throughout her life, causing her to be very thin. Later in life, she began her Humanitarian "career" and was awarded several awards, including, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award; as well as being honoured with a statue at UNICEF's New York headquarters, which is named "The Spirit of Audrey". So, she was a very interesting and talented person!
Ok, THIS was actually super fascinating!! Because I had no idea there was a 50’s phrasing! And seeing this was also cool, thanks for doing this
Thank you !! Yes they had a different phrasing back then. A little twist in the way they were talking.😊
It might be the mid Atlantic accent which was a bridge between American and British. Right? There’s a fascinating documentary somewhere about it. Actors trained to speak it bc it would be easy for both American and British audiences. I may need to look for that documentary again to refresh my mind.
Great video! Audrey was in a French movie at the start of her career, called 'Nous irons à Monte Carlo' (1951). It's available on RUclips!
The “50’s” accent you’re speaking of was also common with English speaking actors post WW2. In the US actors were taught to speak with a “Transatlantic accent”, and it was more of a fancy kind of British accent, so dropping the r’s at the end of words, and such. Obviously it’s not a thing now but it explains why actors sounded different back then.
Frasier and Niles in the sitcom Frasier maintained such an accent, which made them sound much more posh than the actual British character.
One of her first films, in the late 1940s, was made in both English and French. She acted in both versions, speaking both languages. The English title is "Monte Carlo Baby", as I remember.
Her first language was flams or Dutch her second language Walloon French also there’s a small area of Belgium they speak German part of occupied Belgium ceded back to Belgium after the war. Total respect to this woman. She also spoke Italian
I LOVE this video!!💗
She was discovered by Colette (while in Monaco, shooting a film) -- and her first major role was Gigi. Then, her Hollywood career took over after WWII. Her mother was Dutch aristocracy, I believe, and her father was English, but was born in Belgium and abandoned by her father when she was young, during the war. She initially intended to be a dancer, but she and her mother went into hiding during the war, and she nearly starved to death (she spoke, at one time, of living on cooked tulip bulbs), which had a long-term effect on her bones, ending her dance career early. Luckily, she made it in film, because she was truly beautiful and graceful -- like a little deer. We don't have anyone like her these days. She was unique.
You are so nice in your comments and feedback. If I ever go to France I hope to encounter people as polite and understanding as you.
Bonne vidéo ! The "en même temps" tip was very helpful. Merci !
De rien 😉
No suprise. Posh Dutch people (her mom was a baroness) and posh Brits (father) all spoke French. Part of the upbrining.
Can you do Serene Williams? I saw her speak French during the French Open.
Ohh really !! I’ll try to find some interviews of her there 😌 Merci
MyFrenchStory id love to see that! Her husband is French I believe
Salut je suis française mais je regarde tes vidéos car ça m’aide pas mal pour mon anglais on va dire que je comprends à 95% ce que tu dis mais franchement ça m’aide pas mal😊
I have always thought of Audrey Hepburn as a French woman but always in American films where she scored by being different to the usual Hollywood star. Hollywood was much more commercially successful, I think, and with her ambitious mother behind her she was steered into the Hollywod direction to make up for the huge financial losses they experienced during WW2. I too love Aundrey Hepburn along with the rest of the world.
As a ex-pat living in France, I love your channel.
Thank you,
Bon w/e,

French used to sound so much more beautiful in the fifties! With the tapped and rolled r's instead of the modern throaty ones!
What happened to you French?!
hm the French R is not nearly as throaty as everyone think it is, they're much softer
@@charles1413 I know it isn't that throaty (french girlfriend shh), I just think the rolled and tapped r's French once shared with other romance languages sounded much better.
No way, I love the modern French R. It’s more nuanced and particular to French. Plus it’s difficult to master, so when you do it’s very rewarding as a French learner!
@@BaileyDerby I disagree, it's the French equivalent of the loss of middle word rhoticity which spread from RP English into general English (in England). A posh innovation of the bourgeois that ended up everywhere due to it's perceived status in the unconscious minds of the people.
Pour expliquer la faute d'Audrey avec le verbe" commencer" au passé composé, il faut savoir qu'en Néerlandais pour ce verbe on utilise l'auxiliaire être et non l'auxiliaire avoir, "Ik ben begonnen" et non pas " ik heb begonnen". Le Néerlandais étant sa langue maternelle, Audrey utilise naturellement l'auxiliaire être.
Actor Bradley Cooper also speaks French and Jodie Foster
You should red the book about her life. Is an amazing book. All she did was dream about dancing but couldn't do it professionally, and she had to live really difficult things.
Her mother tongue was Dutch actually. And her English is perfect, at least for my ear, I don't hear a foreign accent when she speaks. Anyway she is wonderful, and you are very charming yourself like most French girls, thank you for the video!
wow!
💕💕💕
So funny! Could You make video how to pronounce "t" with vowels?
Lauren Bacall Also spoke good French .. Kirk Douglas as well ... etc it is funny to realise
Thank you, I loved this. I would like to see Serena Williams also😊
Merci Lynn 💕 I’ll try to find an interview where she speaks French and react to it 😊
I am from England and would love to hear your comments on my French 🙈🙈🙉
Could you evaluate the French interview with Faten Hamama the Egyptian actor ..she was very famous and beloved
Have you ever tried watching Jackie Kennedy speaking French? I would highly recommend it.
j''adore audri hepburn comment dire " shes the role model i want to be in my generation" en francaise ?
Apart from her English: Ms Hepburn's French was very, very good and she also spoke German, Dutch, Italian and Spanish. So a few mistakes here and there were to be expected, of course.
The only English-speaking actress whose French is not only perfect but sounds effortlessly "native" is Jodie Foster. As you yourself have discovered!
I believe she attended theFrench lycée in LA. But there must have been more than that for her to be that good !
You should react to the video of the late Kirk Douglas on the street in France giving an interview in French.
Could you do a video of SOHIA LOREN. SPEAKING FRENCH & ALSO INGRID BERGMAN ???
Of course she understood because she is Belgian. She grew up in french speaking Belgium
Audrey Hepburn was amazing actress from Belgium.
I didn’t know she was from Belgium 🇧🇪 what a pleasant surprise 😍
MyFrenchStory oui, Belgian Born British
No, her mum was Dutch and her dad was English, she only lived in Belgium for a few years.
Please do a video on the movie French Kiss with Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline!
👍😊 Could you please make some research about Jodie FOSTER , Freddie Highmore and Kristin Scott Thomas. Thanks a lot 🙏🙏🙏
Her father was English and her mother was Dutch. As a child she lived in England, and when World War II started she moved with her mother to the Netherlands, where she had to pretend she had no connection to England while the Nazis were occupying the country. After the war she moved back to Britain, then quickly achieved success in Hollywood, so she made movies in English. In her later life she lived in Italy and if you listen to interviews she did then, in English, you can tell she was no longer as comfortable speaking it and had forgotten some of it.
do u still do 1 on 1 lessons?
Maybe do a video on Tony Parker
I still think she is the most beautiful woman to ever live
Can you do a video of Shakira speaking French?
Oh she kind of have a Belgium accent :)))
She raised in Belgium, at least partially.
I don't think French was her first language and she probably re-picked it up as she grew up. Just my opinion. Love your videos!!!
She’s from Belgium she grew up bilingual with French and English
Kyle Angeles Dutch! She was part Dutch! Belgium has three official languages Dutch, French and German, with the Dutch region being the largest.
Do a reaction video of famous french model/actress anna karina!!!
SimplyJustMe _ she wasn’t French but danish
Aside from English and French fluently, Audrey Hepburn can fluently speak Dutch and Spanish as well. That's four languages. Oh, by the way, Dutch is a very difficult language.
Is it?
Dutch is her mother tongue actually
Does she have a french, belge, or british accent when speaking french?
I don't detect any Belgian accent, nor a British one, but a little something that makes me think she didn't have French as a mother tongue. Still, her French is crisp and crystal-clear, with few mistakes. To the best of my knowledge, she was proficient in other languages, including Italian, Dutch and English bien-sûr!
Je trouve que son "j'espère que c'est la raison" sonne tres belge.
omg thank you for doing this!!! glad i can use my favorite actress as a reference for french as well. she has more french interviews in case you were curious to watch: ruclips.net/video/ZpC2CVe5rD0/видео.html

She could probably make a lot more money in American rather than French movies. When you can only make about one movie a year, you have to be selective.
Well very likely she has a good pronunciation, she is Belgian, so she probably also grew up learning it ;-)
Audrey never looked more beautiful. I have often been compared to her, if only that was true.
STOP CUTTING AUDREY OFF EVERY THREE SECONDS WHILE YOU GUSH ETC!
