Audrey Hepburn

These past two weeks are the first in months that I have gone without seeing a single new movie, the reason for this being that I am currently in a school production that engulfs a good portion of my spare time. What wonderful timing to begin a movie blog, you may well be thinking. However, I feel like I can squeeze in some time to watch one or two movies and then write up a review. I'm considering Bringing Up Baby and Lilies of the Field or Network and Bonnie and Clyde.

But this post is not about me or my rigorous cinephilia schedule. No, this post belongs to one of the most ethereal, kindhearted women in all the world, whose birthday was just yesterday (May the fourth be with you!); Audrey Kathleen Ruston/Hepburn. She died at the premature age of 63, but yesterday she would have turned 83.

Alas, I do not know Audrey the Person, though I can dream, so I can only discuss Audrey the Actress, the one who most of us know the best. My sole hope is that, to the fresh eyes of those who have not seen her, I can do her justice with my words.
