To the people running the Carson RUclips channel... I want to thank you guys wholeheartedly for responding to my request for this priceless gem of a clip. To see these two iconic introverts initiate a conversation with each other - albeit awkwardly - makes this all the more adorable. I couldn't help but smile. Once again, thanks...
Happy birthday, Audrey. Miss you forever...
5/04/1929 - 1/20/1993 🕯️❤️🌹
incredible request- have a lovely day!
Thank you so much for having one of the true shining stars of Hollywood ..as they use this word so loosely today...
AMEN and AMEN!!!
I 2nd this. Amazing channel and people running this channel, please give yourself a shout out. You deserve it!
Where and how did you request it?
She is one of a kind. A very talented actress who was extremely private. She gave of herself to humanitarian causes and made a difference.
Seeing Johnny being so starstruck by Audrey really puts into perspective how respected and iconic she was
He was clearly nervous, she could barely say a few words until several minutes in. It was endearing how bumbling he was while she just smiled charmingly. She seemed held back tho, so maybe he was trying to fill in the gaps since she offered so little. This was toward the end of her marriage with her philandering psychiatrist husband and 2 years after a miscarriage. She looked quite underweight here, also approaching menopause. Always so graceful, however, no matter what.
@@TrueWalker88 She seemed bored by their mindless, sexist conversation.
@@January. Agreed.
@@TrueWalker88She had a eating disorder which started at a very young age. She also had affair's of her own.
@@noneofyourbusiness9369 Yes, she also had affairs but that doesn't take away from the hurt that was caused. She and her family have said that she had health issues related to having been malnourished as a child during the war and that it wasn't an eating disorder. But she was a heavy smoker which took a toll on her health when she was already so thin which led to her frailty. And by this age, she may have already been developing the cancer from which she eventually died.
She shines with pure beauty, intense sincerity and great humility.
...and was about as interesting as a brick.
The first talk show Audrey ever did, cut her some slack
@@r-leanmygirl-gj2ktjealous?
@@schmittyconstanz @r-leanmygirl-gj2kt jealous?
Not really. Just bored.
Bored, like 99% of humans, who expect others to entertain them. They have never read Baudelaire.
She is such a classy lady, kind hearted and did so much charity work for UN. She is dearly missed! BTW, thanks for posting this!
"Yes, she was a delicate flower"
The UN is the biggest scam inflicted on all of us.
was also kind to animals.
I have never regretted naming my daughter after Ms. Hepburn. RIP, Great Lady!
Audrey Hepburn was a genuinely outstanding and good lady. You were absolutely right to give your daughter such a wonderful role model to emulate!
I named my ebike Audrey, after Audrey Hepburn.
Beautiful name. Beautiful lady. 🙂♥️
I have always felt that she's the classist and most elegant actress to have ever come out of Hollywood. What a wonderful interview.
One of the classiest ladies in the entertainment industry. Tough as any person ever doing what she did in World War II. Plus with her working with the UN and handling cancer, a true great
She didn't grow up or live in the U.S. That's why.
@@January.she lived in Marbella in Southern Spain for a while, but lived in Switzerland most of the time.
@@JamesHanglin
She was in Holland during the war…starving for years yet endured until liberation!
Actors are hopeless without a script.
Yes, "delicate" (1:08) is actually quite the wrong word.
Johnny was flustered. Understandably. 😁
No, she wasn't presenting herself very well, and Carson was uncomfortable with that.
@@r-leanmygirl-gj2kt I agree. She was a very good actor and a wonderful humanitarian, but she was apparently a difficult guest to interview for a late night talk show.
He even called her Aubrey at one point. But at least it was close. 😂
@@Queue28 I noticed that! 😅
@@r-leanmygirl-gj2kt What a ludicrous comment.
I loved her feisty exchanges with Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady. She should have, at least, been nominated for an Oscar.
Ms. Hepburn wasn’t nominated for an Oscar for MFL because the Academy wanted to punish her for “stealing” the role of Eliza from Julie Andrews who originated the role on Broadway in 1956. At the time the film version of MFL went into production in 1963, Ms. Andrews was not a major star and Jack Warner, the producer, didn’t want to take a chance on her. So he picked Ms. Hepburn, who had already won an Oscar, for the lead role. Mr. Warner was pulling out all the stops for the production and did not want to take any chance on “unproven” talent.
As it turned out, Julie Andrews won the Oscar that year for “Mary Poppins.” Many people thought that it was payback for being denied the starring role in MFL.
Ms. Hepburn’s performance in the film version of MFL was arguably better than Ms. Andrews’ performance in Mary Poppins and was certainly Oscar worthy.
Oscars were never worthy of her.
The fact that Marni Nixon dubbed her song vocals didn't help - not Audrey's fault obviusoly that's the way it was done then
I’m watching just in time for Audrey’s Birthday. May 4, 1929, 95 years ago! Such a refined lady.
After a very privileged childhood, her mother made the mistake of moving them back to Holland in 1939. After 5 years of Nazi occupation, a teenage Audrey barely survived malnutrition in 1945. It was the WWII experiences that inspired her years of work for UNICEF.
I named my ebike Audrey, after Audrey Hepburn.
@@brucekuehn4031Because that was where her mother was from. Audrey's father was from England, and he and Audrey's mother had divorced.
@@l.a.3479 Yes, her mother was a Baroness and maternal grandparents were both from the nobility of the Netherlands. Sadly, that did not protect them from the Nazis.
im nervous too Johnny ! ( just hearing her beautiful voice BARELY ) i am in tears :*( may she rest in peace.
Amazing woman! One of a kind.
Yeah ! For me she is an angel and I guess Spielberg must have thought that too when he casted her in "Always" :)
She is a very thoughtful speaker. What a great way to be.
So much different than you would expect from a true international star which she certainly was.
People these days are very dysregulated and they speak extremely fats because they have no presence. Watch the way American reality Tv stars and starlets all speak. It’s really cheap and off-putting. Audrey comes from a time where people weren’t always trying to crack jokes and act superior. She was a wonderful symbol for humility, class, dignity and being ladylike. Women these days should and could all take a masterclass from Miss Hepburn.
One of a kind , they don’t make stars like this anymore. She is so statuesque and delightful, she brought a tear to my eye. So genuine and gentle & shy. Delightful to see this - thx 4 posting!
I'm so glad he had Audrey Hepburn on his show, she is my favorite old time movie actress, thank you so much for posting this ❤😊
She was simply out of this world...And she is and remains unattainable in her appearance, her facial expressions, her style and her friendliness. It`s good that she no longer had to experience how terrible this world become...Thank you
Ms Hepburn has to be the first person I have ever seen on Johnny's show that once Johnny started digging a hole, he was to never get out of it. But then, we also love Johnny too so this show was just that good. :) Thank you for posting this.
Great point… he was also nervous when Frank Sinatra was on for the first time
He was the same with Bette Davis.
She could have helped him, but didn't. I felt sorry for him, because he did try but she just wouldn't help him. Strange and disappointing.
Audrey was the one that looked bad. Not Johnny at all. He handled this disaster beautifully.
We certainly do miss Johnny a lot !
Who’s we?? #TeamJoan
And Ed
@@productionemployee8032 His 23 million fans that watched him every night !
@@timothybrock5922exactly, up every night for ninety minutes from 11:30pm until 1:00 am...5 nights a week!!!
There’s also one who has to be ignorant and make an ass out of themself!
Such a quiet, high class interview. No fake laughing. Just great✅
Lousy interview
@@Donald-my3oo Exactly! Completely mismatched...and lots of fake laughing!
I wish Audrey was alive in an era where there was more media so that future generations can watch as much of her interviews as possible. She's such an elegant and graceful being. Thank you to the Johnny Carson channel for the upload.
Audrey is the epitome of beauty and class..e
it's "epitome" and not "epitomy"
@@szvqorwnpstahskypfwmp9821 that's what I sed
@@szvqorwnpstahskypfwmp9821 was I rong...do you agre she wus
Such a classy and talented lady. Loved her in so many roles.
This was lovely but I am 64 so I grew up with this incredible man and I have Never Seen him SO nervous! He literally was star struck! I get it no one IMO passes Audrey Hepburn! Just Perfect ❤️
I think he was only having difficulty because she wasn't very responsive and he had to struggle to keep the conversation going. I'm a big fan of hers, so this isn't a criticism, just an observation.
@@lottasunshine1325 The only other time I saw Johnny nervous was when he tried to chat with a zonked out of her skull Judy Garland in 1968. Judy's mind was AWOL and had trouble talking, and Johnny was a bundle of nerves, talking too much.
But he was kind to her, and covered her difficulties with aplomb and grace.
@@eddingtonmcclane6963 If you mean Judy, not Audrey, it was a mess. Johnny realized early on she couldn't talk, and so made up for it by babbling and not letting her try.
A little story some will find interesting. Ms Hepburn was in the early 1990s the UN Ambassador for Refugees. As such, she visited Kenya during the Somali refugee crisis. She met with American servicemen in Mombasa Kenya before flying into Mogadishu, the epicenter of the crisis. That was before I got there. I was told she made such an impression on the troops that when she passed many of them became visibly upset upon hearing the news. Imagine a bunch of strong men weeping over the loss of a person none knew. That was the impression she made on people.
Her body language was uncomfortable
I was deployed on US Navy ship off the coast of Mogadishu in the early/mid 90's supporting a relocation operation. Also made a port call in Mombasa. Had no idea Audry Hepburn had visited that area.
Thank you for sharing this!
@@Donald-my3ooNot the subject of this comment
Audry Hepburn, simply put - Lovely ❤ 🌹
Audrey didn’t want to be there, though she was, as always, gracious. Sincerely, Captain Obvious
No she could and should have worked harder to make a better appearance. Awkward and unprofessional.
She tried a little harder for the far more odious Barbara Walters when she was plugging her book on gardens.
Thanks for posting. This is definitely one of the more awkward interviews. Poor Johnny tried so hard to put her at ease - wasn’t happening. It was still interesting to watch. Thanks
In spite of her apparent shyness and reluctance in the limelight I get the sense she disarmed many out in the studio audience and across the airwaves- she certainly did it to me. Rest In Peace sweet angel
Yes! Define bitterness. Go. I mean . . . He was nervous, but still.
SHEER BEAUTY AND CLASS!!!
Anorexia is hard to miss when you see it.
@@odinsameasfirst2640😟 I believe it was Cancer, and she didn't know@that moment...🙏😔🙏
@@odinsameasfirst2640She was malnourished as a result of her time with her mother in Holland during WWII, when food was scarce. It affected her for the rest of her life.
@@la_baby_khalil7703 She didn't have cancer until later in life, about 12 years later. Her face was so gorgeous but by her late thirties her extreme thinness became more obvious.
I could listen to her talk all day…
I don’t know how to describe how excited I am that this has FINALLY been uploaded to the public! I am a BIG fan of Audrey Hepburn & I have contacted the Johnny Carson RUclips channel in the past & viewed this interview for the first time in the Paley Center for Media in New York early this year. Thank you! 🥰
Johnny tried nobly here. She deflected questions that could've helped. Her awkwardness was difficult to overcome. He tried to put her at ease. True genius, Johnny
Well, he tried to get her to agree with kind of negative things (Don't you find people in Hollywood more bitter?) and she just wasn't that way. I think he could have done a bit better, but he was nervous. I thought she was all right.
you are so right, @llchil. she does not help Johnny. she does not elaborate or reciprocate to his questions
@@stephaniedegange2737As a Generation X woman, I would find it difficult to respond to his objectifying comment/question regarding if she was a "sex symbol."
I simply loved Audrey Hepburn!
No one can measure up to Johnny Carson. He was the best interviewer,went with the flow and actually listened to the amazing guests he had
One of my favorite, she's one of a kind they don't get any better than Audrey
A beauty for the ages... inside and out.
This was the worst interview I’ve ever seen Johnny do. I love Audrey Hepburn.
She was being incredibly hard to work with due to nerves. Awkward for both parties.
I’ve been waiting for this interview to be uploaded. Thank you.
She was so lovely, and yeah, so many fantastic movies. "Robin and Marian" is a fun movie, and in addition to the ones Johnny listed I'd recommend "Two for the Road" (1967).
Yes. Robin and Marion. I just watched it yesterday. Remember that one scene where that man gets off his white steed and confronts Sean Connery, ordering him to “give it him” (hand over Marion). Connery gives it to him by kicking the man in the balls. Remember that scene?
I haven't seen everything Audrey did but can't imagine anything topping Breakfast at Tiffany's. I so wanted Johnny to ask if she ever got the mean reds.
"TFTR" is one of my favorites ❤
Also, "Wait Until Dark"
Alan Arkin's performance was responsible for the first-ever jump-scare in cinema... 🤯🤯
Charade and How to Steal a Million. Those were some of our favorite movie's. Truman Capote wanted Marilyn Monroe to play lead in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
She was one of the great icons of film, a lovely lovely lady, so sad that she is gone now. Audrey Hepburn was such a bright shining star🌟
I don’t think he should’ve asked her about her husband’s kidnapping. You can tell it made her very uncomfortable.
And the toppling incident.
I agree, but I think that by that point Johnny was becoming desperate to find something that Miss Hepburn was willing to talk about.
JC was nervous.
@@christinepaige2575 True
I never knew anything about that till it was brought up here. I am trying to find something about it.
To me it seemed like Ms. Audrey Hepburn had something else on her mind that was really bothering her and making it hard for her to focus. This interview was probably part of promoting her movie. I get the impression that she is thinking what dreadful, stupid or invasive questions is he going to ask me that I do not want to answer. She couldnt wait to get out of there but I do appreciate the interview.
I think she was just incredibly nervous.
I have loved her since day 1. Pure class and humble sweetness that oozes kindness
Her and George peppard were fantastic in breakfast at Tiffany's. She was a sweet little lady. r.i.p to them both 🙏
SHE and George Peppard ...
She is polite and certainly wondeful. Johnny was a wonderful host as well. 💛🎼
❤ honestly, I’m astounded watching this show right now for the very first time: Ms Hepburn is astounding to me- ❤
How can someone be so adorable?
Its sad as she had a short life. She was a gifted and pleasantly human being.
She was a heavy smoker, I heard.
*pleasant
@@January. Are you the RUclips moderator? You keep correcting other posts as if you are grading high school homework. I think you need to focus on your own shortcomings, not a few, minor misspellings or grammatical errors.
@@lottasunshine1325 I don't need your advice.
@@RalphEchtinawAnd anorexic, which shortens your life.
I have got to be honest over here he not really a household name , but I watched one of his shows with animals on and the way he spoke and treated animals was so kind and compassionate, I thought what a nice person !!!😊🇬🇧
Johnny Carson was a icon in America. Mr. Latenight.
What a rare treat, a visit by Divine Audrey. Even Johnny was lost for words.
Audrey is so adorable and very well mannered. I’ve love her since high school and I’m hoping she is resting comfortably in Heaven. 🙏😘🥰
Pure class. So lacking today. I just adored this! Thank you for sharing. Audrey Hepburn was so dazzling and Johnny is wonderful. ❤❤❤
Still love "Roman Holiday" - saw it when I was 14...
Love this show and beautiful Audrey Hepburn. 👍
WOW that was great. She is a real lady and so tiny too. What can you say about Audrey. A pleasure and privilege to see this interview.
Look under the word class in the dictionary and you'll see Audrey Hepburn ❤

Johnny Carson shows are the best! They are much better than a show on today so thank you for showing us. How do you get those always in my favorite actresses she was a good ballet dancer and that was one thing I did a dance to new York city I’m at Valley West in Salt Lake City she was always one of my idols are used to be as thin as she is in this clip thank you for sharing this Show! “Wait until dark” Still puts me on edge of my seat.
Carson was A One Of Kind on TV Talk Shows then.
She was charming, classy, and looked very intelligent.
All of the above attributes were totally correct.
This is a travel to a very nostalgic past. Audrey was a unique actress.
Amazing! Johnny Carson, Audrey Hepburn and Hank Kingsley all together!
A timeless beauty and great actress
Who would have thought that Ed was the cool one. LOL
Poor Johnny; I know exactly how he feels. I've always been completely in love with Audrey Hepburn. TeeHee
TO make Johnny that nervous, that unsettled, that's one amazing woman.
Audrey was one of a kind. There's only one.
She was so very eloquent, classy. A true movie star..
This is a very rare interview of Audrey Hepburn !
I'm 66 yo and grew up with all these people. I'm stunned with what the hell they did with Mr. Carsons hair among other things .
Lovely to see her again. 😊❤
BEAUTIFUL, CLASSY, STYLISH, A LADY, GREAT ACTRESS. WE DON'T HAVE THAT IN TODAYS MOVIE INDUSTRY. I DON'T THINK WE EVER WILL.
What you have now is the opposite of Audrey: Kim Kardashian.
I miss Johnny!
audrey hepburn is so beautiful .. full of
spirit.. natural charm..posture dignity
eloquaince dazzel endlessly a lady
*eloquence
Oh my…I can still feel her elegance radiating in the silence space in between the talk. Her private and softness still exudes a mystery and it can make someone feel squirmy but all the while very intriguing. I’m really enjoying this interview. Never seen Audrey like this but gives her more of this human aspect than what media portrays. I can see that she is anxious here but still very beautiful with how she carries herself. Carson did a wonderful job to ask questions though it can hit the trigger spot but he adds comedic timing to change topics. Gives more sense of how Audrey Hepburn is really like too and how she carries herself. She’s polite and strong willed.
What a class act Miss Hepburn was. She didn’t seem like the easiest person to interview though.
I melt when i hear her sing Moon River ❤
My grandma's favorite actress of all time.
She was a brave lady, as a teenager she helped the dutch resistance in the 2nd World War.
She survived on a starvation diet mainly of potatoes, and married to Jose Ferrer, and it was a shame her last film was 'Always' by Steven Spielberg.
She was married to Mel Ferrer, not Jose Ferrer.
@@epaddonYes. 😂 2 totally different people.
she also suffered from krohns disease rathre horribly
So she was Dutch?
Thank you for posting
The ultimate "Lady" of that time, was interviewed by the ultimate Gentleman (on TV) of that same time. For those who would not immediately see/hear the obvious difference with today's behavior in the " entertainment business" .... watch it again 😉. (of course, there were others, but the two of them are iconic)
Love this lady. She is all class.
She is very much missed
She is remarkably engaging; a quiet charisma
thank you so very much. I have been "hunting" for this episode for several years. Finally, thanks to you, I got to see what Johnny Carson was so nervous about. Yay!
The aurra of movie star surrounds her in comparison to many ive seen on the show, even if she is nervous. She is certainly an adorable lady. She has a lot of class.
*aura
The Golden Boy, William Holden, was madly in love with Audry Hepburn. She was the one who got away.
He was married.
@@nedraleggett6837 Bill was divorced from Brenda Marshall in 1971 and remained single for the remainder of his life.
He was allegedly unable to have children and that was the deal-breaker for her.
@@l.a.3479 Possibly. I was good friends with Bill, and he never mentioned that. I sense Audrey probably had more of an issue with his drinking.
I read it in a book about Audrey Hepburn and her movies that I got from Barnes and Noble many years ago. @@TomBleecker
His hair cracks me up!
Welcome to 1976. Lol.
I agree on Johnny's hair. He's got white hair combed over gray hair. I wonder if they tried to talk him out of it and he refused.
I was thinking who the hell thought that looked good.
Audrey’s too…that’s one extremely 70s hairdo.
@@VideoAmericanStyleyeah I didn’t love Audrey’s hair on this show and for such a style icon she looks like she didn’t put a great deal of effort into her appearance on this occasion. She did look a bit tired and rather shy. But then again, she probably just wanted to quickly promote her movie and be gone. Regardless, she was lovely, and always so polite. They don’t make people - and certainly not women - like Audrey anymore. She was the epitome of grace and class.
Audrey Hepburn, a true lady of class and an honorable human being 6:24
TPTB,
More of this, please.
Thank you so much
WOW! What a strange, uncomfortable non-interview that was! Glad Ed McMahon was there to take up the slack and also interject some humour into the blank spots. Ms Hepburn clearly did Not want to be there and Johnny seemed unprepared with his questions...
That said, Audrey Hepburn was a wonderful addition to the film world
Yeah. She seems to work better with a script.
I remember Audrey being looser and more forthcoming on "Donahue". Guess I'll have an excuse to look it up and see now. 😏
Agreed, Hank Kingsley saved the interview
@@DavidMcdonald-df8tb
Who is Hank Kingsley?
@@aileen694 he was the fictional sidekick semi based on Ed McMahon in the Larry Sanders show in the 1990s
I wish he had asked her about the languages she spoke: Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish, English. He could have said: "Tell me I'm the funniest man you've ever met" in [foreign language]. That would have gotten a laugh, and been easy for her. Or "Tell me about working with Gregory Peck on your first movie, Roman Holiday." He wasn't well prepared, and she was not comfortable. Plus, she was not happy in her marriage to Dotti at that point, and Johnny kept asking about him. She clearly wasn't happy talking about him. A missed opportunity that night!
I've never seen Johnny so nervous .
It's funny.
Finally! Thank You for posting this interview. Audrey Hepburn is loverly. One of a kind!
good lord poor Johnny, getting more than a 1 word response from her was like pulling teeth.
Man.....never seen Johnny or Ed quite this nervous. They were truly taken in, which I'm sure is the case for everyone who meets her.
FINALLY!!! I could never find this anywhere!! Thank u!!! ❤❤❤
Poor Audrey. She really does not want to be there. Johnny handles her well.
I love that she won't let him off the hook!
Divine 100%
I've been wanting to see this interview all my life! Thank you so much! We miss you dearly, my heavenly Audrey! 💕
Well, now you can check out. lol
