1
00:01:04,273 --> 00:01:05,273
I was not an actress.
2
00:01:05,274 --> 00:01:07,357
When it came to movies,
I was a dancer.
3
00:01:12,364 --> 00:01:14,651
I didn't have any way
for them to know
4
00:01:14,658 --> 00:01:16,900
whether I could really act.
5
00:01:19,329 --> 00:01:23,494
But they realized there
was enough there for them
6
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:25,617
as a human being, to draw out.
7
00:01:30,841 --> 00:01:34,380
And I'm grateful because
I suppose the way I am
8
00:01:34,386 --> 00:01:36,548
is what has brought me so
much good fortune, you know?
9
00:01:43,645 --> 00:01:46,103
From the Motion
Picture Capital of the world,
10
00:01:46,106 --> 00:01:49,099
the Academy of Motion
Picture arts and sciences,
11
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:52,068
26th annual Academy awards.
12
00:02:05,375 --> 00:02:08,163
And now, over to you live in Los Angeles.
13
00:02:16,053 --> 00:02:17,213
Should I read it?
14
00:02:18,263 --> 00:02:19,347
Should I read it?
15
00:02:20,891 --> 00:02:22,007
I don't think I will.
16
00:02:24,102 --> 00:02:25,394
Ladies and gentlemen in New York city,
17
00:02:25,395 --> 00:02:27,057
Miss. Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday.
18
00:03:01,306 --> 00:03:02,592
It's too much.
19
00:03:04,601 --> 00:03:09,596
I want to say thank you to everybody
20
00:03:09,981 --> 00:03:12,940
who in these past months and years
21
00:03:14,152 --> 00:03:17,987
have helped, guided
22
00:03:17,989 --> 00:03:20,072
and given me so much.
23
00:03:20,075 --> 00:03:22,408
I'm truly, truly grateful.
24
00:03:22,411 --> 00:03:23,618
I'm terribly happy.
25
00:03:30,293 --> 00:03:31,961
Today the
name of Audrey Hepburn
26
00:03:31,962 --> 00:03:34,045
flashes from theater marquees.
27
00:03:34,047 --> 00:03:36,380
From the covers of national magazines,
28
00:03:36,383 --> 00:03:39,967
from column upon column
of newspaper rave notices.
29
00:03:39,970 --> 00:03:43,304
For everybody is talking about
her sensational star debut
30
00:03:43,306 --> 00:03:45,969
in Paramount's Roman Holiday.
31
00:03:54,860 --> 00:03:58,319
Audrey Hepburn
was not like any other actor
32
00:03:58,321 --> 00:04:00,028
or actress out there.
33
00:04:02,075 --> 00:04:04,988
She just had magnetism.
34
00:04:04,995 --> 00:04:06,486
People loved her.
35
00:04:09,374 --> 00:04:11,582
She was a newcomer
that was so strong
36
00:04:11,585 --> 00:04:13,577
and so impressive.
37
00:04:21,428 --> 00:04:24,216
You became
world famous over one night
38
00:04:24,222 --> 00:04:26,214
after having made Roman holiday.
39
00:04:26,224 --> 00:04:28,932
I think that many of the girls here
40
00:04:28,935 --> 00:04:30,892
would like to be a star like you.
41
00:04:30,896 --> 00:04:32,853
Have you any advice to give to them?
42
00:04:33,899 --> 00:04:37,142
The only advice I can give is that,
43
00:04:37,152 --> 00:04:40,020
they must make sure they
want to be it enough
44
00:04:40,030 --> 00:04:44,570
because as it's so often said,
45
00:04:44,576 --> 00:04:48,445
hard work is never so hard
when it is done with love.
46
00:04:49,456 --> 00:04:52,824
Audrey's look
with something brand new.
47
00:04:52,834 --> 00:04:55,918
There were the girl next
door types like Doris Day,
48
00:04:55,921 --> 00:04:58,914
and then the sex bombs
like Marilyn Monroe.
49
00:04:58,924 --> 00:05:02,383
There were wonderful
female stars at the time,
50
00:05:02,385 --> 00:05:04,092
but there was nothing quite like her.
51
00:05:05,096 --> 00:05:09,181
She created this type of woman
that really didn't exist.
52
00:05:09,184 --> 00:05:10,391
That was her.
53
00:05:14,147 --> 00:05:17,231
Audrey is an icon for people
54
00:05:17,234 --> 00:05:18,566
from all over the world.
55
00:05:21,905 --> 00:05:26,491
Her image, her style and the way of life.
56
00:05:27,994 --> 00:05:30,987
That's her great beauty.
57
00:05:32,582 --> 00:05:37,577
People love her and know her
because of her lovely face
58
00:05:37,796 --> 00:05:40,038
or her smile.
59
00:05:41,424 --> 00:05:46,419
But there was a real Audrey
that people don't know.
60
00:05:48,348 --> 00:05:51,432
She's not only an icon on print.
61
00:05:53,395 --> 00:05:56,809
Audrey's life was so much more than that.
62
00:06:17,127 --> 00:06:18,584
There's a lovely phrase
63
00:06:18,587 --> 00:06:21,955
in Arthur Rubinstein's book.
64
00:06:21,965 --> 00:06:23,831
Many years ago,
65
00:06:23,842 --> 00:06:26,585
when he had a very, very
difficult beginning to his life.
66
00:06:27,637 --> 00:06:32,007
He had to decide whether to
reject life or to love it.
67
00:06:33,184 --> 00:06:35,972
And he said, I just decided
to love it unconditionally.
68
00:06:36,897 --> 00:06:37,978
And I believe that.
69
00:06:54,581 --> 00:06:58,621
Audrey's parents met in the Dutch Indies.
70
00:07:01,838 --> 00:07:04,080
Audrey's father was a diplomat.
71
00:07:06,551 --> 00:07:10,295
And Audrey's mother, the
Baroness at Heemstra was there
72
00:07:10,305 --> 00:07:12,513
because her father was a governor.
73
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:16,926
Audrey Hepburn never mentioned it really,
74
00:07:16,937 --> 00:07:21,147
but in her family, there
was this Dutch nobility.
75
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,522
My grandfather,
Joseph Ruston Hepburn
76
00:07:25,528 --> 00:07:27,190
was an aspiring aristocrat.
77
00:07:28,198 --> 00:07:32,112
There's a typical twenties
formal portrait shot of him.
78
00:07:32,118 --> 00:07:34,405
Showing him just as he was.
79
00:07:34,412 --> 00:07:36,574
Always very well groomed
a small moustache,
80
00:07:36,581 --> 00:07:38,664
slick black hair and nice suit.
81
00:07:41,169 --> 00:07:43,001
He was an aspiring aristocrat
82
00:07:43,004 --> 00:07:45,872
whose background was very fuzzy.
83
00:07:45,882 --> 00:07:49,171
He made up some sort of lineage
that would have made him
84
00:07:49,177 --> 00:07:51,920
a distant heir of The King of scotland.
85
00:07:53,223 --> 00:07:55,135
He thought highly of himself
86
00:07:55,141 --> 00:07:58,054
and nothing really materialized.
87
00:07:59,896 --> 00:08:02,064
When
they lived in the Dutch Indies,
88
00:08:02,065 --> 00:08:07,060
he felt that Marxists, communists
were going to take over.
89
00:08:07,237 --> 00:08:09,069
So they moved back to Belgium.
90
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,483
And that's when my
mother was born in 1929.
91
00:08:19,124 --> 00:08:21,411
Audrey's father quickly embraced
92
00:08:21,418 --> 00:08:24,035
the Belgium fascist party, the rexist.
93
00:08:25,296 --> 00:08:28,585
And he was also vehemently anti-semitic.
94
00:08:30,427 --> 00:08:33,420
Audrey's parents went to Nazi Germany,
95
00:08:33,430 --> 00:08:35,422
and cheered on the marches.
96
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,968
They were very impressed
by the rejuvenation
97
00:08:40,979 --> 00:08:44,393
of the German nation, under Nazi rule.
98
00:08:46,443 --> 00:08:49,277
And Audrey's mother, even
penned a few articles
99
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:50,611
for magazines
100
00:08:50,613 --> 00:08:53,105
really praising the Nazi regime.
101
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:57,197
That was 1935,
102
00:08:57,203 --> 00:09:01,914
which is exactly when Audrey's
father abandoned his family
103
00:09:02,917 --> 00:09:05,455
and moved to England where he became
104
00:09:05,462 --> 00:09:08,205
an active member of the black shirts.
105
00:09:08,214 --> 00:09:09,876
The British fascist party.
106
00:09:13,470 --> 00:09:14,586
When the war broke out,
107
00:09:14,596 --> 00:09:17,964
she was in a boarding school in the UK.
108
00:09:18,975 --> 00:09:21,638
Not that far away from London,
where her father lived.
109
00:09:22,645 --> 00:09:25,979
He did have visitation
rights, which he never used.
110
00:09:25,982 --> 00:09:29,271
And so she was by herself,
and other children
111
00:09:29,277 --> 00:09:31,439
on weekends were seeing their parents
112
00:09:31,446 --> 00:09:33,438
and she ended up spending her summers
113
00:09:33,448 --> 00:09:35,610
with workers that her mother found.
114
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:40,198
Her mother felt that it would be safer
115
00:09:40,205 --> 00:09:41,912
for her to be in the Netherlands
116
00:09:41,915 --> 00:09:45,329
because they thought that
England might be carpet bombed.
117
00:09:48,171 --> 00:09:51,460
Her father actually
took her to the airport.
118
00:09:51,466 --> 00:09:53,458
This is the last time that she saw him.
119
00:09:53,468 --> 00:09:56,085
So that was September of 1939.
120
00:09:57,180 --> 00:10:00,218
She flew on the last
plane that left the UK
121
00:10:00,225 --> 00:10:02,592
and then into Amsterdam.
122
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:07,388
She changed her name, her first name.
123
00:10:07,398 --> 00:10:10,357
She was Adar. And not Audrey,
124
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,695
in order to not arouse suspicion
that she might be English.
125
00:10:20,370 --> 00:10:22,612
I was 10
when the war broke out.
126
00:10:24,165 --> 00:10:25,576
This was in September and in May
127
00:10:25,583 --> 00:10:28,451
the Germans marched in to Holland.
128
00:10:30,922 --> 00:10:31,630
The first few months,
129
00:10:31,631 --> 00:10:33,463
we didn't know quite what had happened.
130
00:10:35,385 --> 00:10:37,126
Had we known the first
six months of the war
131
00:10:37,137 --> 00:10:40,221
that we were going to be
occupied for five years,
132
00:10:40,223 --> 00:10:42,306
we might have all shot ourselves.
133
00:10:42,308 --> 00:10:44,095
We thought it'll be over next week.
134
00:10:47,230 --> 00:10:48,064
Holland was one of the worst
135
00:10:48,065 --> 00:10:50,853
because we were occupied by the SS.
136
00:10:50,859 --> 00:10:52,851
Not by just the military.
137
00:10:52,861 --> 00:10:56,229
Everybody sort of just clammed
up and went underground
138
00:10:56,239 --> 00:10:57,322
and you couldn't speak freely.
139
00:10:57,323 --> 00:10:59,030
And you weren't allowed
to listen to radios
140
00:10:59,033 --> 00:11:00,569
and we grew up that way.
141
00:11:00,577 --> 00:11:02,159
Knowing that we were all prisoners.
142
00:11:04,581 --> 00:11:06,197
There came a moment when we had to
143
00:11:06,207 --> 00:11:08,415
live in the cellar
because parts of our house
144
00:11:08,418 --> 00:11:09,659
kept being shot away.
145
00:11:11,129 --> 00:11:12,540
We were sleeping on mattresses
146
00:11:12,547 --> 00:11:15,665
and sitting there waiting
for the shooting to stop.
147
00:11:17,594 --> 00:11:20,007
My uncles were taken from their homes
148
00:11:20,013 --> 00:11:21,379
and shot.
149
00:11:21,389 --> 00:11:23,551
One brother was sent to Germany.
150
00:11:23,558 --> 00:11:25,424
The other one was always hidden.
151
00:11:27,270 --> 00:11:30,308
My uncles were the first
hostages to be shot in Holland.
152
00:11:30,315 --> 00:11:32,272
And it was actually the turning point
153
00:11:32,275 --> 00:11:34,358
because from that day on
154
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,896
an underground was formed.
155
00:11:36,821 --> 00:11:39,438
She was asked to take
messages for the resistance
156
00:11:39,449 --> 00:11:41,281
in her shoes.
157
00:11:42,493 --> 00:11:44,119
And it was the city telegram at the time,
158
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,407
the safest on a bike,
put a kid on the bike,
159
00:11:46,414 --> 00:11:48,406
put a message in the insole of their shoes
160
00:11:48,416 --> 00:11:52,126
and it's quick and
nobody's gonna stop kids.
161
00:11:53,963 --> 00:11:57,206
She performed for the Dutch resistance,
162
00:11:58,301 --> 00:11:59,542
not just to raise monies,
163
00:11:59,552 --> 00:12:02,340
but also to entertain people
and get their minds off
164
00:12:02,347 --> 00:12:04,259
the horrors that they were living through.
165
00:12:06,976 --> 00:12:08,393
Ever since I was
a little girl in Holland
166
00:12:08,394 --> 00:12:10,386
I wanted to be a ballet dancer.
167
00:12:13,191 --> 00:12:14,191
That was my dream.
168
00:12:17,111 --> 00:12:18,602
As a child already.
169
00:12:18,613 --> 00:12:21,321
Ballet, ballet, ballet
is what I love most.
170
00:12:25,536 --> 00:12:29,325
They would do plays and
little musical operettas
171
00:12:29,332 --> 00:12:31,949
and trying to stay discrete
172
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,498
and not bring the attention
of the invading soldiers.
173
00:12:34,504 --> 00:12:35,870
At the end of the performances,
174
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,998
nobody clapped their hands.
They just smile in the dark.
175
00:12:40,593 --> 00:12:44,052
Dancing was the lifeline
throughout the war.
176
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:49,599
It helped to keep her from
looking at where she was.
177
00:12:51,521 --> 00:12:54,013
There's that sense of dance
178
00:12:54,023 --> 00:12:55,980
as a way to take flight.
179
00:12:57,652 --> 00:13:01,862
Dance was a way for her to escape.
180
00:13:04,534 --> 00:13:06,526
I was terribly
slim during the war
181
00:13:06,536 --> 00:13:07,902
because little by little,
182
00:13:07,912 --> 00:13:09,392
there was practically nothing to eat.
183
00:13:11,541 --> 00:13:12,907
All children started to suffer
184
00:13:12,917 --> 00:13:14,078
from malnutrition.
185
00:13:15,586 --> 00:13:18,579
No provisions made, with
no food in the shops.
186
00:13:20,133 --> 00:13:23,217
And that last winter, I mean,
nothing grows in the winter.
187
00:13:23,219 --> 00:13:24,585
You can keep carrots and potatoes.
188
00:13:24,595 --> 00:13:26,882
for just so long and some turnips
189
00:13:26,889 --> 00:13:28,221
but we were running out of those.
190
00:13:30,268 --> 00:13:33,386
And that was really very, very hard.
191
00:13:35,106 --> 00:13:38,895
She survived the Dutch famine
on bread made of tulips.
192
00:13:38,901 --> 00:13:41,063
And when they liberated her,
193
00:13:41,070 --> 00:13:44,063
she was living in her
basement in the Netherlands
194
00:13:44,073 --> 00:13:47,487
and the first UNICEF agents
that had been assembled
195
00:13:47,493 --> 00:13:50,031
to provide aid to women
and children after the war,
196
00:13:50,038 --> 00:13:51,995
they literally pulled
her out of the famine.
197
00:13:51,998 --> 00:13:53,498
She would always talk
about how they arrived
198
00:13:53,499 --> 00:13:54,865
and they handed her chocolate bar.
199
00:13:54,876 --> 00:13:56,959
And like that was her turning point.
200
00:14:04,510 --> 00:14:05,552
When we were liberated.
201
00:14:05,553 --> 00:14:09,092
It was so exciting and that's
when life started again.
202
00:14:09,098 --> 00:14:11,590
All the things you've
never had, never seen,
203
00:14:11,601 --> 00:14:14,844
never eaten and never worn
started to come back again.
204
00:14:14,854 --> 00:14:16,061
That was such a stimulus.
205
00:14:17,231 --> 00:14:18,938
As soon as I could,
206
00:14:18,941 --> 00:14:20,317
I wanted desperately to become a dancer
207
00:14:20,318 --> 00:14:23,152
and I got a scholarship in
the Rambert ballet school
208
00:14:23,154 --> 00:14:24,315
in London.
209
00:14:26,616 --> 00:14:29,859
I didn't have a dime and she took me in,
210
00:14:29,869 --> 00:14:33,488
I lived in her house in a room
and ate meals in her kitchen
211
00:14:33,498 --> 00:14:36,206
when she was out on tour with her company.
212
00:14:36,209 --> 00:14:39,543
And I had months and months
of training in her school.
213
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,462
But because of the war
214
00:14:42,465 --> 00:14:44,957
and interruption and malnutrition,
215
00:14:44,967 --> 00:14:47,425
now I didn't get a really solid
couple of years of training
216
00:14:47,428 --> 00:14:49,841
until I went to the Rambert school.
217
00:14:49,847 --> 00:14:53,306
It was late and I didn't have
anywhere near the technique
218
00:14:53,309 --> 00:14:54,641
that girls my age had.
219
00:14:55,853 --> 00:14:59,597
She talked to Marie Rambert and Marie said,
220
00:14:59,607 --> 00:15:03,521
all of those complications
are gonna add up to
221
00:15:03,528 --> 00:15:06,111
taking away some
percentage of chance of you
222
00:15:06,114 --> 00:15:08,401
to become a prima ballerina.
223
00:15:08,408 --> 00:15:10,491
And of course she was devastated.
224
00:15:10,493 --> 00:15:13,907
But she had no choice to
sort of cry over herself.
225
00:15:13,913 --> 00:15:15,370
She had to keep moving.
226
00:15:18,251 --> 00:15:20,001
I had no money,
and I had to get job
227
00:15:20,002 --> 00:15:21,994
and I did get one for the musicals.
228
00:15:23,423 --> 00:15:25,289
I plunged into show business in London.
229
00:15:25,299 --> 00:15:26,915
It was the best cure.
230
00:15:26,926 --> 00:15:29,009
I was in a chorus, in a big chorus room
231
00:15:29,011 --> 00:15:30,127
with all the other girls
232
00:15:30,138 --> 00:15:32,425
rehearsing and dancing
and doing twice nightly's
233
00:15:32,432 --> 00:15:33,593
and from then on,
234
00:15:33,599 --> 00:15:35,010
That was my life.
235
00:15:36,185 --> 00:15:37,517
Who wants a ciggy?
236
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,386
- Hello sweetie?
- I was a dancer and
237
00:15:39,397 --> 00:15:41,389
that's really what I wanted to do always.
238
00:15:43,901 --> 00:15:45,861
I never wanted to become
an actress or never dared
239
00:15:45,862 --> 00:15:47,524
to think in those terms.
240
00:15:47,530 --> 00:15:48,896
Ooh really Alfred.
241
00:15:48,906 --> 00:15:50,989
I became an actress because
I have to earn a living.
242
00:15:50,992 --> 00:15:53,609
And I started doing little bits in movies,
243
00:15:53,619 --> 00:15:55,360
to get the extra buck.
244
00:15:57,874 --> 00:16:00,036
I watched every move you make.
245
00:16:00,042 --> 00:16:03,410
I was in the South of
France doing a French movie
246
00:16:03,421 --> 00:16:04,379
Monte-Carlo baby.
247
00:16:04,380 --> 00:16:09,376
And by chance, we were doing
a scene in the hotel De Paris
248
00:16:11,304 --> 00:16:13,387
And she was there with her husband.
249
00:16:14,891 --> 00:16:16,974
And she said, in very few words,
250
00:16:16,976 --> 00:16:20,219
would I like to play Gigi on Broadway.
251
00:16:20,229 --> 00:16:23,393
final curtain
on the big new hit, Gigi.
252
00:16:23,399 --> 00:16:26,563
And Audrey Hepburn, the
young continental beauty
253
00:16:26,569 --> 00:16:29,061
who's Broadway's latest star takes...
254
00:16:29,071 --> 00:16:30,278
It was my break,
255
00:16:30,281 --> 00:16:33,445
but I have two very big
breaks in the same month.
256
00:16:35,161 --> 00:16:36,242
William Wyler
257
00:16:36,245 --> 00:16:38,908
came to England looking for an unknown.
258
00:16:38,915 --> 00:16:42,955
He really ordered a lot of tests made
259
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,246
and I was one of them.
260
00:16:45,338 --> 00:16:48,877
And that's the test that won me the part
261
00:16:48,883 --> 00:16:51,796
and started a lovely career for me.
262
00:17:10,530 --> 00:17:13,489
I was 12 years old when
I saw Roman holiday.
263
00:17:13,491 --> 00:17:14,948
And it was a revelation.
264
00:17:16,285 --> 00:17:19,119
I was a tomboy as were most of my friends
265
00:17:19,121 --> 00:17:21,613
resisting the transition to lady-hood.
266
00:17:21,624 --> 00:17:23,115
And you know all the...
267
00:17:23,125 --> 00:17:24,957
Nowadays I guess then too,
268
00:17:24,961 --> 00:17:27,078
all these girls wanted to be princesses.
269
00:17:27,088 --> 00:17:28,454
I never wanted to be a princess.
270
00:17:28,464 --> 00:17:29,875
So that was Audrey Hepburn,
271
00:17:29,882 --> 00:17:32,499
sort of abdicating her princess-ship.
272
00:17:32,510 --> 00:17:35,002
And it was just so exciting.
273
00:17:36,597 --> 00:17:37,883
Gregory Peck and Audrey Herpburn
274
00:17:37,890 --> 00:17:40,177
were a kind of unbeatable combination.
275
00:17:41,060 --> 00:17:43,643
She's an Explorer, she's an adventurer.
276
00:17:43,646 --> 00:17:47,139
She cuts her hair, which is
already a huge emancipation.
277
00:17:47,149 --> 00:17:50,517
She gets rid of the heavy burden
of the crown and the hair.
278
00:17:50,528 --> 00:17:52,941
She's on the back of a
motorcycle with Gregory Peck.
279
00:17:52,947 --> 00:17:54,654
And it's just the ultimate expression
280
00:17:54,657 --> 00:17:56,899
of self willed liberation.
281
00:17:58,494 --> 00:17:59,610
She's active.
282
00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:03,113
She's not waiting for the guy to come.
283
00:18:03,124 --> 00:18:05,411
She goes back and forth from ugly duckling
284
00:18:05,418 --> 00:18:07,660
to Swan and from Swan to ugly duckling.
285
00:18:07,670 --> 00:18:10,629
So these are the sort of
fairytale roles that she plays
286
00:18:10,631 --> 00:18:13,248
and incarnates just magnificently.
287
00:18:16,470 --> 00:18:20,384
I'm going to that corner there and turn.
288
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,426
You must stay in the car and drive away.
289
00:18:24,437 --> 00:18:27,054
She really hadn't been
training as an actress
290
00:18:27,064 --> 00:18:29,556
but she'd been training to perform.
291
00:18:29,567 --> 00:18:32,605
She had to draw on her
own sad and difficult
292
00:18:32,612 --> 00:18:34,353
real life experiences.
293
00:18:34,363 --> 00:18:37,026
So that we feel closer
to her, more familiar.
294
00:18:38,117 --> 00:18:39,858
Out of nowhere,
295
00:18:39,869 --> 00:18:42,407
this star was born in that movie.
296
00:18:54,675 --> 00:18:56,917
When something
like that happens to you,
297
00:18:56,927 --> 00:18:59,510
with all the paraphernalia
that comes with it.
298
00:18:59,513 --> 00:19:01,971
Everybody wanted to interview
you and I was working
299
00:19:01,974 --> 00:19:04,216
and burning the candle at both ends.
300
00:19:05,561 --> 00:19:06,597
I was so new to it all.
301
00:19:06,604 --> 00:19:08,891
I said yes to everything
and I was in a play
302
00:19:08,898 --> 00:19:10,560
and doing interviews and television.
303
00:19:12,193 --> 00:19:15,357
It was only four years before
that come out of Holland
304
00:19:15,363 --> 00:19:17,070
and a long German occupation
305
00:19:17,073 --> 00:19:20,066
where we hadn't been able to
keep up at all with pictures.
306
00:19:20,076 --> 00:19:21,034
And I was way behind.
307
00:19:21,035 --> 00:19:23,403
And there's so much I wasn't aware of.
308
00:19:23,412 --> 00:19:26,075
So let alone think of me or future,
309
00:19:26,082 --> 00:19:29,041
or I didn't know it was going
to lead even to another movie.
310
00:19:30,586 --> 00:19:35,581
I received this extraordinary
Oscar, so early.
311
00:19:35,591 --> 00:19:38,299
And I really didn't know what hit me.
312
00:19:40,179 --> 00:19:42,262
Once I did Roman Holiday,
313
00:19:42,264 --> 00:19:44,972
the offers came in from Willy Wyler again,
314
00:19:44,975 --> 00:19:47,092
from Fred Zimmermann, from Billy Wilder.
315
00:19:51,315 --> 00:19:54,934
Audrey was probably one
of the last movie stars
316
00:19:54,944 --> 00:19:56,936
from the golden age of Hollywood.
317
00:19:58,948 --> 00:20:01,656
What you got with all of those
movies stars at that period.
318
00:20:03,452 --> 00:20:05,114
They were very much
like the characters
319
00:20:05,121 --> 00:20:06,453
that they played.
320
00:20:06,455 --> 00:20:08,037
That was the point.
321
00:20:09,291 --> 00:20:11,533
She was given birth to her stardom
322
00:20:11,544 --> 00:20:13,661
by the studio system,
that sort of the last great
323
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,503
moment of classical cinema.
324
00:20:17,341 --> 00:20:20,960
Audrey was under contract
in the 50's and the 60's
325
00:20:20,970 --> 00:20:23,462
when she did a number of
pictures at Fort paramount,
326
00:20:23,472 --> 00:20:25,634
including "War and Peace"
327
00:20:25,641 --> 00:20:27,098
and "Sabrina"
328
00:20:27,101 --> 00:20:29,684
which was her first picture with Wilder.
329
00:20:29,687 --> 00:20:34,102
The very first day she came
on the set, she was prepared.
330
00:20:34,108 --> 00:20:36,191
She knew her lines.
331
00:20:36,193 --> 00:20:39,561
I did not have to squeeze it out of her.
332
00:20:39,572 --> 00:20:42,064
Everybody fell in love with her.
333
00:20:42,074 --> 00:20:43,155
I included.
334
00:20:45,870 --> 00:20:47,577
She wasn't a Hollywood bombshell
335
00:20:47,580 --> 00:20:49,947
that I think so much of the actresses
336
00:20:49,957 --> 00:20:51,539
around that time were.
337
00:20:51,542 --> 00:20:54,330
And suddenly she came
and she was like a lion,
338
00:20:55,171 --> 00:20:59,666
her beautiful, big almond
eyes, her black Raven hair.
339
00:21:00,843 --> 00:21:02,300
And I think for Hubert,
340
00:21:02,303 --> 00:21:05,011
that was something actually
he really worked towards
341
00:21:05,014 --> 00:21:07,222
was accentuating the fact
342
00:21:07,224 --> 00:21:11,309
that she had this incredible
graceful line in her body.
343
00:21:11,312 --> 00:21:15,181
That was not typical of what
was out there at that point.
344
00:21:15,191 --> 00:21:17,979
And in a way it became
quite ground breaking.
345
00:21:23,365 --> 00:21:26,324
Hubert and Audrey met in
this very room that we're in.
346
00:21:26,327 --> 00:21:27,863
This is the grand salon.
347
00:21:28,662 --> 00:21:31,450
Hubert thought he was
meeting Catherine Hepburn.
348
00:21:31,457 --> 00:21:34,825
And so it was a really
surprising visit for him
349
00:21:34,835 --> 00:21:37,077
because he was totally taken aback.
350
00:21:37,087 --> 00:21:41,422
He said, but you're
not not who I expected.
351
00:21:41,425 --> 00:21:45,385
And here was this absolute
petite, fragile, very beautiful,
352
00:21:45,387 --> 00:21:48,050
very fine featured little curteous girl.
353
00:21:48,057 --> 00:21:50,515
And I think he was not
completely enthralled
354
00:21:50,518 --> 00:21:51,599
at the beginning.
355
00:21:51,602 --> 00:21:55,221
But then she came and she
told him she wanted him
356
00:21:55,231 --> 00:21:57,974
to do the costumes for her film Sabrina.
357
00:21:59,068 --> 00:22:01,060
He was very reluctant, but over dinner,
358
00:22:01,070 --> 00:22:03,608
she sort of charmed him and convinced him.
359
00:22:03,614 --> 00:22:07,107
And the next day they started
collaborating for that film.
360
00:22:07,117 --> 00:22:08,574
And it became a love affair.
361
00:22:08,577 --> 00:22:11,069
I think between the two of them.
362
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:11,914
I went away.
363
00:22:11,915 --> 00:22:13,155
Fashion came into my life
364
00:22:13,165 --> 00:22:17,250
when I had my very, very
first haute couture dress
365
00:22:17,253 --> 00:22:22,089
made by Hubert de Givenchy
for a picture called Sabirna
366
00:22:22,091 --> 00:22:23,508
And I must say I wasn't disappointed.
367
00:22:23,509 --> 00:22:27,219
The beauty of it was extraordinary
and the way it was made.
368
00:22:27,221 --> 00:22:30,339
And I've always had a
love for pretty things,
369
00:22:30,349 --> 00:22:31,349
pretty clothes.
370
00:22:32,226 --> 00:22:35,344
I think what Hubert loved about Audrey was
371
00:22:35,354 --> 00:22:37,346
she was almost like the girl next door
372
00:22:38,816 --> 00:22:40,899
She was quite sophisticated actually.
373
00:22:40,901 --> 00:22:42,110
I think she was quite well read.
374
00:22:42,111 --> 00:22:43,111
She was a dancer.
375
00:22:43,112 --> 00:22:45,149
She knew how to move.
376
00:22:45,155 --> 00:22:47,442
They completely understood each other.
377
00:22:47,449 --> 00:22:51,033
In so many ways I think
it was a complete surprise
378
00:22:51,036 --> 00:22:51,954
to him to,
379
00:22:51,955 --> 00:22:53,035
to dress someone like her.
380
00:22:53,038 --> 00:22:55,997
She's incredibly petite,
tiny, tiny frame,
381
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,368
but somehow he made
her through the clothes
382
00:22:59,378 --> 00:23:01,210
through the line that he drew
383
00:23:01,213 --> 00:23:03,170
on her body it just looks statuesque.
384
00:23:05,301 --> 00:23:08,009
Hubert and I are very much alike.
385
00:23:08,012 --> 00:23:11,255
We love the same things, and
we're hurt by the same things.
386
00:23:11,265 --> 00:23:13,006
I think we're both sensitive.
387
00:23:15,644 --> 00:23:18,102
There's a wonderful
French word, dépouille,
388
00:23:19,356 --> 00:23:22,064
which means without ornament.
389
00:23:22,067 --> 00:23:23,979
With everything stripped away.
390
00:23:23,986 --> 00:23:26,899
There's a purity about his clothes,
391
00:23:26,906 --> 00:23:28,442
but always with a sense of humor.
392
00:23:29,491 --> 00:23:31,483
Hurbert would do
something terribly simple.
393
00:23:31,493 --> 00:23:34,361
But there'll be just that one little bow
394
00:23:34,371 --> 00:23:39,116
or little rose or something
that will give it a little,
395
00:23:39,126 --> 00:23:41,288
as I say, a sense of humor, a little fun.
396
00:23:42,379 --> 00:23:46,498
Audrey and Givenchy invented a style.
397
00:23:47,927 --> 00:23:49,134
Audrey's style.
398
00:23:50,471 --> 00:23:53,885
When an artist meets another artist,
399
00:23:54,892 --> 00:23:58,602
the best things come out
and they were like that.
400
00:24:00,439 --> 00:24:03,307
When you actually see still shots of her,
401
00:24:03,317 --> 00:24:06,355
she knows how to hold
herself in the clothes.
402
00:24:06,362 --> 00:24:10,447
And I think she was
showing her personality
403
00:24:10,449 --> 00:24:11,530
through the clothes
404
00:24:11,533 --> 00:24:15,994
and the fact that they had
this incredible connection
405
00:24:15,996 --> 00:24:18,329
made that so much more unique,
406
00:24:18,332 --> 00:24:19,618
particularly at that time,
407
00:24:19,625 --> 00:24:21,867
because I think it was a very rare thing.
408
00:24:21,877 --> 00:24:23,664
There were almost no Hollywood actresses
409
00:24:23,671 --> 00:24:25,628
that had this intimate relationship
410
00:24:25,631 --> 00:24:27,964
with a designer back in the 50s'.
411
00:24:27,967 --> 00:24:31,426
And so they really pioneered something.
412
00:24:31,428 --> 00:24:33,545
My greatest anguish was always,
413
00:24:33,555 --> 00:24:35,262
who would I be good enough in the scene?
414
00:24:35,265 --> 00:24:37,507
Would I be able to do the job?
415
00:24:37,518 --> 00:24:39,430
I would dress but to do a good job
416
00:24:39,436 --> 00:24:41,553
and to know the scene well,
417
00:24:41,563 --> 00:24:43,225
and if the director afterwards said
418
00:24:43,232 --> 00:24:45,394
Print it. That was lovely Audrey.
419
00:24:45,401 --> 00:24:46,858
That's all I wanted.
420
00:24:49,154 --> 00:24:50,363
That she was called an artist of love.
421
00:24:50,364 --> 00:24:52,196
I think it's totally fitting.
422
00:24:53,325 --> 00:24:55,612
She was learning love firsthand.
423
00:24:56,620 --> 00:25:00,113
I think part of it is she
had lacked love as a child.
424
00:25:00,124 --> 00:25:03,288
Her mother was harsh and uncomplimentary.
425
00:25:03,293 --> 00:25:06,081
She made her feel ugly. I think.
426
00:25:06,088 --> 00:25:08,580
So there was that complex she had.
427
00:25:08,590 --> 00:25:10,126
And yet it didn't embitter her
428
00:25:10,134 --> 00:25:14,253
or sidetrack her, or make her defensive.
429
00:25:14,263 --> 00:25:17,097
Instead, she kept opening up.
430
00:25:18,267 --> 00:25:20,884
And Sabrina of course, she's
just young and passionate
431
00:25:20,894 --> 00:25:21,930
that she's a teenager
432
00:25:21,937 --> 00:25:24,270
and teenagers are always
going to die for love.
433
00:25:24,273 --> 00:25:25,514
But she really is.
434
00:25:25,524 --> 00:25:27,015
She really sets about it.
435
00:25:28,068 --> 00:25:29,934
She's the one who admits love.
436
00:25:29,945 --> 00:25:32,312
It's like she's brave enough
437
00:25:32,322 --> 00:25:37,317
to risk rejection and open
her heart before the man does.
438
00:25:38,495 --> 00:25:40,782
And it's because the men are cynical.
439
00:25:40,789 --> 00:25:41,623
Or they don't believe in love.
440
00:25:41,624 --> 00:25:43,910
And she's the one that
kind of awakens them.
441
00:25:44,793 --> 00:25:46,455
David, would you like to kiss me?
442
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,621
- Would I?
- Yes.
443
00:25:49,631 --> 00:25:51,793
A nice steady kiss.
444
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,133
She was clearly seeking
love everywhere she went
445
00:25:54,136 --> 00:25:57,504
in all of her films and
in her life too, I think.
446
00:26:00,809 --> 00:26:02,971
Hello, I am Audrey Hepburn.
447
00:26:04,063 --> 00:26:06,897
Ondine is a very beautiful love story
448
00:26:06,899 --> 00:26:09,482
in which Mel Ferrer and I appear together.
449
00:26:10,319 --> 00:26:12,527
Mel plays the Knight errant
450
00:26:12,529 --> 00:26:14,316
and I play a water sprite
451
00:26:14,323 --> 00:26:16,906
and it's a very gay part.
452
00:26:16,909 --> 00:26:20,118
Greg peck and my father were best friends.
453
00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:22,077
And when Greg comes back from Rome,
454
00:26:22,081 --> 00:26:23,868
he says you have to meet this girl.
455
00:26:23,874 --> 00:26:25,957
I just did this film with.
456
00:26:25,959 --> 00:26:28,997
And they meet and the rest is history.
457
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:44,266
I think they found each other
458
00:26:44,269 --> 00:26:45,601
and they adored each other.
459
00:26:45,604 --> 00:26:47,015
And were very happy.
460
00:26:48,023 --> 00:26:50,140
They were both very lovable people.
461
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:55,354
My father was a brilliant
educator, spoke five languages,
462
00:26:55,364 --> 00:26:57,947
had also a semi European background.
463
00:26:57,950 --> 00:27:00,909
And they were very similar in many ways.
464
00:27:01,829 --> 00:27:04,242
They were both very strong people.
465
00:27:04,248 --> 00:27:06,490
They consulted with
each other on everything
466
00:27:06,500 --> 00:27:08,366
and he collaborated with her
467
00:27:08,377 --> 00:27:10,869
and this is what they
talked about over dinner.
468
00:27:10,879 --> 00:27:13,292
What do you think of the script?
This is what I'm thinking.
469
00:27:13,298 --> 00:27:15,836
for this next outfit for this next movie.
470
00:27:15,843 --> 00:27:17,050
This is the camera man.
471
00:27:17,052 --> 00:27:18,259
What about the music?
472
00:27:18,262 --> 00:27:20,049
How do you feel about this and that?
473
00:27:21,348 --> 00:27:22,464
Mel was a good actor.
474
00:27:22,474 --> 00:27:25,967
And he attached himself to
projects and got them made
475
00:27:25,978 --> 00:27:28,516
because he was a producer
in his own right.
476
00:27:29,940 --> 00:27:32,273
He was really a kind and caring person.
477
00:27:32,276 --> 00:27:34,188
And he loved her deeply.
478
00:27:37,239 --> 00:27:40,903
They were pretty business
smart in terms of how
479
00:27:40,909 --> 00:27:43,947
her brand needed to be or
the kind of career choices
480
00:27:43,954 --> 00:27:45,286
that she needed to make.
481
00:27:50,460 --> 00:27:53,043
There were scenes in
funny face that I remember.
482
00:27:53,046 --> 00:27:55,379
I loved doing because they went to music
483
00:27:55,382 --> 00:27:57,089
and having originally been a dancer
484
00:27:57,092 --> 00:27:58,924
not a good one, but I was a dancer
485
00:27:58,927 --> 00:28:01,419
and I love all the musical numbers.
486
00:28:05,100 --> 00:28:08,434
I was Very apprehensive
about doing that pitch.
487
00:28:11,190 --> 00:28:12,351
I do remember the first time
488
00:28:12,357 --> 00:28:14,314
I met Fred Astaire and that was on set.
489
00:28:16,486 --> 00:28:20,321
I knew how good I should be
to dance with Fred Astaire.
490
00:28:20,324 --> 00:28:21,324
I knew I wasn't.
491
00:28:24,536 --> 00:28:26,619
I had a very slender kind of technique
492
00:28:28,123 --> 00:28:30,831
and I wasn't a great technician at all.
493
00:28:30,834 --> 00:28:34,578
And to be cast opposite
him was terribly exciting,
494
00:28:34,588 --> 00:28:36,454
but I was very apprehensive.
495
00:28:39,301 --> 00:28:40,963
In many of her roles.
496
00:28:40,969 --> 00:28:44,087
She could come across as a frivolous girl,
497
00:28:44,097 --> 00:28:49,058
but she really finds the sort
of gravity in those roles.
498
00:28:49,269 --> 00:28:51,226
In Funny face the away she dances
499
00:28:51,230 --> 00:28:54,644
and she completely deconstructs
what dance is about.
500
00:28:54,650 --> 00:28:57,358
This is the lightness that she brings.
501
00:28:58,362 --> 00:28:59,478
All right, go.
502
00:29:03,492 --> 00:29:04,492
Move, move
503
00:29:06,078 --> 00:29:08,286
She obviously was gifted
on so many levels.
504
00:29:09,373 --> 00:29:12,161
Her incredible abilities
to perform for the camera,
505
00:29:13,502 --> 00:29:17,416
be a princess or a librarian
and becoming a supermodel.
506
00:29:21,176 --> 00:29:23,338
My grandfather was Richard Avedon
507
00:29:24,221 --> 00:29:28,135
and funny face was loosely
based on his first marriage
508
00:29:28,141 --> 00:29:30,133
to Doe Avedon.
509
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,388
My grandfather was photographing
510
00:29:34,398 --> 00:29:37,641
those who perform with their emotions.
511
00:29:37,651 --> 00:29:40,189
Audrey was the ultimate beauty,
512
00:29:40,195 --> 00:29:43,063
both internally and externally.
513
00:29:43,073 --> 00:29:45,565
She was obviously such
a gift to the camera
514
00:29:45,575 --> 00:29:48,443
that he was astonished.
515
00:29:48,453 --> 00:29:51,070
And when you look at the
photographs my grandfather
516
00:29:51,081 --> 00:29:53,038
took of Audrey,
517
00:29:53,041 --> 00:29:55,124
I think you'd definitely get a sense
518
00:29:55,127 --> 00:29:56,493
of what kind of person she was.
519
00:29:56,503 --> 00:29:59,996
And perhaps that's why she
was this devastating gift
520
00:30:00,007 --> 00:30:03,000
because she gave so much,
and there was so much range,
521
00:30:03,010 --> 00:30:05,002
whether that be in a stream of sorrow
522
00:30:05,012 --> 00:30:07,220
and romance and desire,
523
00:30:07,222 --> 00:30:10,056
or just absolutely elated with wonder,
524
00:30:11,059 --> 00:30:13,016
She loved Richard Avedon because
525
00:30:13,020 --> 00:30:15,353
she and Avedon were on
the same wavelength.
526
00:30:15,355 --> 00:30:16,689
So he didn't have to tell her what to do.
527
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,556
She knew what to do.
528
00:30:18,567 --> 00:30:21,025
She was made of so many
different dimensions
529
00:30:21,028 --> 00:30:22,235
and experiences in life
530
00:30:22,237 --> 00:30:24,479
from the suffering she endured
531
00:30:24,489 --> 00:30:27,027
to the joy she's still experienced in life
532
00:30:27,034 --> 00:30:29,321
and the artistry she maintained.
533
00:30:33,915 --> 00:30:35,907
If you actually go through the archive
534
00:30:35,917 --> 00:30:39,251
and you look at what has been
the most important dresses
535
00:30:39,254 --> 00:30:40,870
that people recognize
536
00:30:40,881 --> 00:30:43,419
so much of it is the
work Hubert did with her.
537
00:30:48,305 --> 00:30:50,092
The dress from Funny face
538
00:30:50,098 --> 00:30:53,341
was one of the most iconic
fashion movie moments
539
00:30:53,352 --> 00:30:54,559
of that era.
540
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,264
He created something so
timeless, but so Iconic.
541
00:31:00,233 --> 00:31:03,442
And if I actually think back to myself,
542
00:31:03,445 --> 00:31:05,528
when I first saw Audrey Hepburn movies,
543
00:31:05,530 --> 00:31:06,490
I fell in love with her
544
00:31:06,491 --> 00:31:09,325
and the way she looked
in those movies.
545
00:31:09,326 --> 00:31:12,114
And of course the breakfast
at Tiffany's dress
546
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,113
is one of the most iconic
dresses of all time.
547
00:31:23,048 --> 00:31:25,085
That moment, when she
steps out of the taxi
548
00:31:25,092 --> 00:31:27,459
at the beginning of the film,
549
00:31:27,469 --> 00:31:30,928
she's got every symbol of
Paris with her in a way.
550
00:31:30,931 --> 00:31:33,014
She has a croissant in her hand, pearls
551
00:31:33,016 --> 00:31:34,473
her hair in an up do,
552
00:31:34,476 --> 00:31:36,968
And this incredible black silhouette,
553
00:31:36,978 --> 00:31:39,140
just so refined and so elegant.
554
00:31:41,191 --> 00:31:44,480
It became a symbol of
the ultimate black dress.
555
00:31:48,156 --> 00:31:50,944
And she became an icon from that.
556
00:31:59,501 --> 00:32:01,333
Everyone is now thinking
557
00:32:02,170 --> 00:32:07,165
no one had any singularity or eccentricity
558
00:32:07,884 --> 00:32:10,592
or individuality, bullshit.
559
00:32:11,888 --> 00:32:16,883
Was there anyone who had more
of that than Audrey Hepburn.
560
00:32:17,519 --> 00:32:19,010
I don't even wanna own anything
561
00:32:19,020 --> 00:32:21,478
until I can find a place where
me and things go together.
562
00:32:21,481 --> 00:32:23,097
It was a real performance.
563
00:32:24,443 --> 00:32:27,686
She captured that kind of crazy,
564
00:32:27,696 --> 00:32:31,155
the sane girl that Truman
Capote wrote about.
565
00:32:31,158 --> 00:32:33,241
She personified it very brilliantly
566
00:32:33,243 --> 00:32:34,905
and she wasn't really like that.
567
00:32:35,620 --> 00:32:37,532
But she nailed it.
568
00:32:37,539 --> 00:32:39,952
It's one of her best performances.
569
00:32:39,958 --> 00:32:41,995
In fact, I think it's the
most iconic photo of her.
570
00:32:42,002 --> 00:32:44,210
It still is Holly Golightly.
571
00:32:44,212 --> 00:32:46,545
It seems to be used most
often to define her.
572
00:32:47,883 --> 00:32:49,249
What sort of a girl is she?
573
00:32:49,259 --> 00:32:53,173
She is a, what they call in
America these days a kook.
574
00:32:53,180 --> 00:32:54,546
How does that mean?
575
00:32:54,556 --> 00:32:56,047
It's spelt with a k I believe.
576
00:32:56,057 --> 00:33:00,301
Which is a dizzy gay
577
00:33:00,312 --> 00:33:02,053
type of girl.
578
00:33:02,063 --> 00:33:03,645
Anything like you?
579
00:33:03,648 --> 00:33:05,981
I'm not quite that way. No.
580
00:33:05,984 --> 00:33:10,399
Truman Capote actually thought
that she was too elegant.
581
00:33:10,405 --> 00:33:13,148
And he wanted someone who
looked like they could be
582
00:33:13,158 --> 00:33:16,902
a woman of the night and
not someone who was elegant
583
00:33:16,912 --> 00:33:18,198
and graceful
584
00:33:18,205 --> 00:33:22,540
and truly stood out as
the class in the room.
585
00:33:22,542 --> 00:33:25,956
As opposed to the arm piece.
586
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,917
She takes a story
587
00:33:28,924 --> 00:33:31,257
which is meant for Marilyn Monroe
588
00:33:32,344 --> 00:33:36,588
and elevates it out of the typecasting
589
00:33:36,598 --> 00:33:40,433
and transforms that part
into what it became.
590
00:33:40,435 --> 00:33:43,974
She really also like gave this
Holly Golightly character,
591
00:33:43,980 --> 00:33:46,939
completely different texture.
592
00:33:46,942 --> 00:33:49,434
She was a call girl like basically.
593
00:33:49,444 --> 00:33:50,444
Any gentleman with the slightest cheek
594
00:33:50,445 --> 00:33:53,358
will give a girl a $50
bill for the powder room.
595
00:33:53,365 --> 00:33:55,607
And Audrey gave her this depth.
596
00:33:55,617 --> 00:33:57,574
I'm not Holly. I'm not Lula mae either
597
00:33:57,577 --> 00:33:59,113
I don't know who I am.
598
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:00,827
I'm like cat here.
599
00:34:00,830 --> 00:34:01,622
We're a couple of no name slabs.
600
00:34:01,623 --> 00:34:03,615
We belong to nobody, and
nobody belongs to us.
601
00:34:03,625 --> 00:34:06,242
We don't even belong to each other.
602
00:34:06,253 --> 00:34:09,621
Moon River was perfect song
written for Audrey Hepburn.
603
00:34:10,507 --> 00:34:12,999
♪ Waiting round the bend ♪
604
00:34:13,009 --> 00:34:14,841
She sang very beautifully,
605
00:34:14,844 --> 00:34:17,336
but she did not have a large range.
606
00:34:17,347 --> 00:34:21,136
It has this melancholic feeling to it.
607
00:34:21,142 --> 00:34:25,637
But it's hopeful at
the end of the rainbow,
608
00:34:25,647 --> 00:34:27,855
you're going to get there.
609
00:34:28,567 --> 00:34:30,650
After the screening,
610
00:34:30,652 --> 00:34:33,019
they're sitting with the studio
head and one of them says,
611
00:34:33,029 --> 00:34:36,568
Oh, and by the way, that bloody
song Moon River has to go.
612
00:34:36,575 --> 00:34:39,864
And she jumped out of the chair
613
00:34:39,869 --> 00:34:43,158
and said over my dead body,
614
00:34:44,165 --> 00:34:47,078
because she knew that that song had legs
615
00:34:47,085 --> 00:34:49,202
and she could feel and she
know what she's invested
616
00:34:49,212 --> 00:34:51,249
into the performance.
617
00:34:51,256 --> 00:34:54,090
This is what went down in history
618
00:34:54,092 --> 00:34:57,460
as one of the most famous moment
of breakfast at Tiffany's.
619
00:34:57,470 --> 00:35:01,180
So she had a sense of what was important
620
00:35:01,182 --> 00:35:05,472
what wasn't maybe a greater
sense than some producers.
621
00:35:07,188 --> 00:35:09,601
She was a lioness.
622
00:35:11,192 --> 00:35:13,525
She was not handed this.
623
00:35:15,864 --> 00:35:19,403
She's been described as the
iron fist and the velvet glove.
624
00:35:19,409 --> 00:35:21,275
And you have to understand
625
00:35:21,286 --> 00:35:26,122
she came from that strong
Victorian background.
626
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:29,242
Then the ballet, all
those years of training,
627
00:35:29,252 --> 00:35:34,213
it's arduous hard, hard
physical and mental work.
628
00:35:34,382 --> 00:35:37,841
And so she needed that
strength and that culture
629
00:35:37,844 --> 00:35:41,303
and that background to survive
in the world of Hollywood,
630
00:35:41,306 --> 00:35:44,925
where you have to fight for
everything that you believe in.
631
00:35:45,852 --> 00:35:49,562
She had to fight was
Givenchy to sublimate
632
00:35:49,564 --> 00:35:52,853
the little black dress and
take everything that wasn't
633
00:35:52,859 --> 00:35:57,854
bolted on off of it, whether
it was a bow or whatever,
634
00:35:58,490 --> 00:36:01,028
because she understood also
the medium and the camera
635
00:36:01,034 --> 00:36:03,447
and what it sees and what is necessary.
636
00:36:03,453 --> 00:36:04,864
What's not necessary.
637
00:36:06,456 --> 00:36:08,322
She wasn't just an actress.
638
00:36:08,333 --> 00:36:09,494
She was a movie star.
639
00:36:12,003 --> 00:36:15,167
You don't think of her
as a complex actress,
640
00:36:15,173 --> 00:36:17,586
but there's something
deeply complex about her.
641
00:36:17,592 --> 00:36:21,051
I love you but I'm not
just Lula Mae anymore.
642
00:36:21,054 --> 00:36:22,054
In Breakfast at Tiffany's,
643
00:36:22,055 --> 00:36:25,014
she was this incredible
incandescent figure.
644
00:36:25,016 --> 00:36:28,851
She meant so much more than
just beautiful, stylish.
645
00:36:28,853 --> 00:36:30,310
She meant to curiosity.
646
00:36:31,105 --> 00:36:32,523
Did you ever read it?
It's absolutely marvelous.
647
00:36:32,524 --> 00:36:36,768
Self-determination she's
discussed as a fashion icon,
648
00:36:36,778 --> 00:36:38,770
but that's a narrow
definition of what she is
649
00:36:38,780 --> 00:36:40,396
because she exceeds that.
650
00:36:41,366 --> 00:36:43,449
She's not like all the
stars you felt in some way,
651
00:36:43,451 --> 00:36:44,532
she had more freedom.
652
00:36:44,536 --> 00:36:45,993
You didn't feel like she was a slave
653
00:36:45,995 --> 00:36:48,362
of the studio system at all.
654
00:36:48,373 --> 00:36:51,286
That probably more than anything
is what makes her great.
655
00:36:52,293 --> 00:36:55,081
I think more than almost
any star I can think of.
656
00:36:55,088 --> 00:36:56,499
And this is saying something
657
00:36:56,506 --> 00:36:58,213
that you can't take your eyes off of her
658
00:36:58,216 --> 00:36:59,502
when she's in the room.
659
00:37:11,896 --> 00:37:14,855
My dream was to become a ballet dancer
660
00:37:14,858 --> 00:37:18,522
and it really stayed it
for many, many years.
661
00:37:23,658 --> 00:37:26,822
I wanted to be a dancer more
than anything in the world.
662
00:37:40,467 --> 00:37:42,299
But this career
663
00:37:42,302 --> 00:37:45,340
has brought me so much
happiness and good fortune.
664
00:37:46,347 --> 00:37:47,929
It means so much to me.
665
00:38:50,537 --> 00:38:51,653
People loved her.
666
00:38:54,082 --> 00:38:57,246
Being around her was like
traveling with a rock star
667
00:38:58,253 --> 00:38:59,334
being nice to you.
668
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,293
The first time I met
Audrey, I didn't know that
669
00:39:03,299 --> 00:39:05,666
she was one the biggest
movie stars in the world.
670
00:39:07,262 --> 00:39:11,222
She was this really nice
lady who came to our house.
671
00:39:12,559 --> 00:39:15,302
Audrey, She was so normal.
672
00:39:15,311 --> 00:39:18,099
So like any other person,
673
00:39:18,106 --> 00:39:20,564
you forget she was a movie star.
674
00:39:21,526 --> 00:39:25,110
My son Giovanni was six year old.
675
00:39:25,113 --> 00:39:27,355
I remember him asking me mommy,
676
00:39:27,365 --> 00:39:30,608
but it's true then Audrey
she's a movie star.
677
00:39:30,618 --> 00:39:31,904
And I say, yes,
678
00:39:31,911 --> 00:39:34,153
she is a movie star and very famous.
679
00:39:34,163 --> 00:39:36,496
And he was disappointed he said,
680
00:39:36,499 --> 00:39:39,116
why does she not live like a movie star?
681
00:39:39,127 --> 00:39:40,334
Why she live like that?
682
00:39:40,336 --> 00:39:44,125
Because the way of Audrey
living was the most simple
683
00:39:44,132 --> 00:39:45,213
you can imagine.
684
00:39:46,426 --> 00:39:49,043
The two times that I
escorted her at the Oscars,
685
00:39:49,053 --> 00:39:51,966
she presented best actor and best picture.
686
00:39:51,973 --> 00:39:55,262
And no matter how early we
left, we were always late.
687
00:39:55,268 --> 00:39:58,056
And just because of traffic
and would have to get out walk
688
00:39:58,062 --> 00:39:59,974
walk the last two blocks
689
00:39:59,981 --> 00:40:01,973
with people in the crowd screaming.
690
00:40:01,983 --> 00:40:04,191
That's Audrey Hepburn.
691
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:06,356
At that time,
692
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:09,275
all the late night talk
shows would like to book her.
693
00:40:09,282 --> 00:40:12,571
And the King of late
night was Johnny Carson.
694
00:40:12,577 --> 00:40:16,662
Most celebrities were petrified
of going on Johnny Carson
695
00:40:16,664 --> 00:40:18,496
because he was the King
696
00:40:18,499 --> 00:40:21,333
and he could make or break their career.
697
00:40:21,336 --> 00:40:26,001
But Johnny Carson was so
intimidated by Audrey Hepburn.
698
00:40:26,007 --> 00:40:27,669
He could barely talk.
699
00:40:27,675 --> 00:40:28,509
What?
700
00:40:28,510 --> 00:40:29,468
You think That we should hold hands,
701
00:40:29,469 --> 00:40:31,005
while we talk about my husband?
702
00:40:31,012 --> 00:40:33,425
She was the only person he was afraid of
703
00:40:34,307 --> 00:40:36,469
because she was such a big star.
704
00:40:37,477 --> 00:40:40,515
I'm still understanding the level of fame.
705
00:40:41,522 --> 00:40:44,560
And it's a unique kind of
fame that in my opinion,
706
00:40:44,567 --> 00:40:49,562
so few people have
achieved and maintained.
707
00:40:50,531 --> 00:40:53,069
She had like, obviously
the strength of character
708
00:40:53,076 --> 00:40:55,238
that was so appealing and
you couldn't just help,
709
00:40:55,244 --> 00:40:56,360
but fall in love with her.
710
00:40:56,371 --> 00:40:59,614
But she also had this
incredible vulnerability.
711
00:41:05,922 --> 00:41:10,041
The affection that I gained
by success, if you like,
712
00:41:10,051 --> 00:41:11,917
and by the pictures I made,
713
00:41:11,928 --> 00:41:13,044
has always continued
714
00:41:14,597 --> 00:41:16,680
and made me very happy.
715
00:41:19,936 --> 00:41:23,555
Success is also very much
in the eyes of the observer.
716
00:41:24,941 --> 00:41:27,433
It's not that I get up every morning
717
00:41:27,443 --> 00:41:29,901
and look in the mirror and
say, well, what a success I am.
718
00:41:29,904 --> 00:41:31,065
It's just me.
719
00:41:33,032 --> 00:41:35,900
I'm not your ideal
person to be a performer.
720
00:41:36,911 --> 00:41:38,197
You can be shy and be a dancer
721
00:41:38,204 --> 00:41:40,116
much better than you can be an actress.
722
00:41:41,249 --> 00:41:43,161
I've always gone to see my rushes
723
00:41:43,167 --> 00:41:44,248
because I've felt I should
724
00:41:44,252 --> 00:41:45,585
because I thought maybe there's something
725
00:41:45,586 --> 00:41:46,952
I can still correct.
726
00:41:48,423 --> 00:41:51,336
And if I've been successful,
727
00:41:51,342 --> 00:41:54,551
the audience, the people see
something that I don't see.
728
00:41:55,596 --> 00:41:58,509
Good afternoon, professor
Higgins, are you quite well?
729
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:03,098
What has always helped me a
great deal are the clothes.
730
00:42:03,104 --> 00:42:05,266
Would you care for some tea?
731
00:42:05,273 --> 00:42:08,107
How kind of you to let me come.
732
00:42:08,109 --> 00:42:11,068
It was often an enormous help
733
00:42:11,070 --> 00:42:13,107
to know that you look the part.
734
00:42:13,114 --> 00:42:15,106
How do you do?
735
00:42:20,663 --> 00:42:23,872
Walking down those
stairs for the first time
736
00:42:23,875 --> 00:42:27,209
beautifully dressed in My fair Lady.
737
00:42:27,211 --> 00:42:30,045
The rest wasn't so tough anymore.
738
00:42:30,048 --> 00:42:31,584
Miss Doolittle You look beautiful.
739
00:42:32,550 --> 00:42:34,257
Thank you Colonel Pickering.
740
00:42:34,260 --> 00:42:36,798
I'm terribly self conscious about myself
741
00:42:36,804 --> 00:42:40,639
and clothes always give me a
great deal of self-confidence.
742
00:42:40,641 --> 00:42:42,052
Not bad at all.
743
00:42:43,311 --> 00:42:45,098
I think she really was insecure
744
00:42:46,647 --> 00:42:51,233
and she fought to kind of project
745
00:42:51,235 --> 00:42:53,898
a perfectly curated image
of herself because of it.
746
00:42:58,493 --> 00:43:00,610
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
747
00:43:02,413 --> 00:43:05,406
and this is something I can't see.
748
00:43:08,002 --> 00:43:10,915
I see the problems when
I get up in the morning
749
00:43:10,922 --> 00:43:13,460
to do my best to look well.
750
00:43:17,970 --> 00:43:19,638
I would have liked to
not have been so tall.
751
00:43:19,639 --> 00:43:21,631
I'd like to have had smaller feet.
752
00:43:21,641 --> 00:43:23,553
I'd like to have had more figure.
753
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,222
I'd like to have a smaller nose.
754
00:43:26,229 --> 00:43:29,939
I'd like to been blonde and
755
00:43:30,942 --> 00:43:33,184
I'd like to change everything.
756
00:43:37,532 --> 00:43:39,615
This is a very interesting
moment in her life
757
00:43:39,617 --> 00:43:42,360
where she's very fragile in many ways.
758
00:43:42,370 --> 00:43:46,364
And it's weeks before the
release of my fair lady.
759
00:43:46,374 --> 00:43:49,913
And she was accused of stealing
the part from Julie Andrews.
760
00:43:49,919 --> 00:43:52,377
Cause she had held the part on Broadway.
761
00:43:54,382 --> 00:43:55,998
When they shot the movie,
762
00:43:56,008 --> 00:43:58,546
it was extremely physically difficult.
763
00:43:59,554 --> 00:44:02,922
She took all those singing classes
764
00:44:02,932 --> 00:44:05,891
and then she was told
that she would be dubbed.
765
00:44:05,893 --> 00:44:09,512
♪ You'll be sorry but your
tears will be too light ♪
766
00:44:09,522 --> 00:44:11,639
The studio, worried that her voice
767
00:44:11,649 --> 00:44:13,641
compared to Julie Andrews voice
768
00:44:13,651 --> 00:44:15,313
would be a step down.
769
00:44:15,319 --> 00:44:18,312
Just you wait Henry
Higgins, just you wait.
770
00:44:21,951 --> 00:44:26,161
So they had Marni Nixon do
the singing of the role.
771
00:44:28,583 --> 00:44:32,418
Jack Warner made fun of her
when she complained about it
772
00:44:32,420 --> 00:44:35,458
saying that even the dog
Rintintin was dubbed.
773
00:44:36,424 --> 00:44:38,165
She felt that for the first time,
774
00:44:38,176 --> 00:44:41,544
the press was going to turn
on her and that created this
775
00:44:41,554 --> 00:44:44,922
anxiety and added insecurity.
776
00:44:44,932 --> 00:44:48,516
She felt that something was
starting to weigh on her.
777
00:44:51,397 --> 00:44:53,605
She was a huge star,
778
00:44:55,151 --> 00:44:57,894
but there was this deep wound.
779
00:45:04,118 --> 00:45:06,451
My parents
divorce when I was six.
780
00:45:08,122 --> 00:45:10,614
It certainly stayed with
me for the rest of my life.
781
00:45:15,963 --> 00:45:18,580
My father leaving us left me insecure,
782
00:45:18,591 --> 00:45:20,127
for life perhaps.
783
00:45:24,096 --> 00:45:25,632
She adored her father.
784
00:45:28,017 --> 00:45:30,805
There's one photo of my
mother with her father.
785
00:45:31,812 --> 00:45:33,269
The photo is just a candid shot,
786
00:45:33,272 --> 00:45:34,808
probably taken by her mother,
787
00:45:36,025 --> 00:45:38,358
but you can tell how much she adored him.
788
00:45:40,196 --> 00:45:41,812
And then he disappeared one day.
789
00:45:44,075 --> 00:45:45,441
My mother explained very sweetly
790
00:45:45,451 --> 00:45:48,159
that he'd gone away on a trip.
791
00:45:48,162 --> 00:45:50,449
She didn't think he was coming back.
792
00:45:55,253 --> 00:45:58,997
I thought my mother was
never going to stop crying.
793
00:45:59,006 --> 00:46:00,463
She'd sob through the nights,
794
00:46:00,466 --> 00:46:02,549
I would hear her sobbing in the next room.
795
00:46:04,345 --> 00:46:06,177
And I would just try and be with her.
796
00:46:10,184 --> 00:46:12,847
I missed him terribly from
the day he disappeared.
797
00:46:16,107 --> 00:46:18,099
As a child, you can't quite understand.
798
00:46:20,152 --> 00:46:22,189
That sense of helplessness.
799
00:46:26,284 --> 00:46:28,651
The strangeness of it too.
800
00:46:30,288 --> 00:46:34,077
Not really understanding and
just knowing daddy's gone away.
801
00:46:41,924 --> 00:46:44,507
That was the first big
blow I had as a child.
802
00:46:46,929 --> 00:46:51,219
It was one of the traumas that
a left very deep mark on me.
803
00:46:54,061 --> 00:46:56,428
She really felt throughout her whole life,
804
00:46:56,439 --> 00:46:57,975
the lack of her father.
805
00:47:00,443 --> 00:47:03,607
And I know that's something
that she really struggled with
806
00:47:05,614 --> 00:47:07,401
that wasn't really fixed through
807
00:47:07,408 --> 00:47:09,900
her amorous relationships at all.
808
00:47:09,910 --> 00:47:13,074
There were many difficult
times with the partners
809
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:14,080
that she did have.
810
00:47:14,915 --> 00:47:17,077
The question of whether Audrey
811
00:47:17,084 --> 00:47:21,044
was looking for a father
figure in her relations
812
00:47:21,047 --> 00:47:23,004
has been discussed.
813
00:47:23,007 --> 00:47:26,091
And Mel Ferrer sort of guided her career
814
00:47:26,093 --> 00:47:29,336
in the way that's almost print like.
815
00:47:29,347 --> 00:47:33,216
She and Mel had a long,
fairly happy marriage,
816
00:47:33,225 --> 00:47:35,558
but they sort of drifted apart.
817
00:47:35,561 --> 00:47:39,350
They were happy and
lived the life of Riley
818
00:47:39,357 --> 00:47:43,647
for the first decade or
longer of their relationship.
819
00:47:43,652 --> 00:47:47,191
I have wonderful memories
of the two of them,
820
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:48,564
she in a house dress.
821
00:47:48,574 --> 00:47:51,362
And he's a very elegant candlelight
822
00:47:51,369 --> 00:47:53,611
and then dancing to record player,
823
00:47:54,622 --> 00:47:59,617
but they lived and worked
together everyday for those 17 years.
824
00:48:00,961 --> 00:48:05,672
And my father was a very
demanding and difficult man.
825
00:48:05,674 --> 00:48:09,588
And I think that also played
a role in slowly eroding
826
00:48:09,595 --> 00:48:10,676
the relationship.
827
00:48:12,056 --> 00:48:13,672
She had a great career,
828
00:48:13,682 --> 00:48:18,052
but I think her private
life wasn't that lucky.
829
00:48:18,062 --> 00:48:22,523
There's a sense that
anxiety and the insecurities
830
00:48:22,525 --> 00:48:24,892
that she had plenty of
831
00:48:24,902 --> 00:48:27,986
actually came from those
insolvable questions
832
00:48:27,988 --> 00:48:29,149
and the departure.
833
00:48:30,616 --> 00:48:35,486
Audrey expressed her desire to
see her father to Mel ferrer
834
00:48:36,539 --> 00:48:41,534
in 1964, after 25 years of total absence.
835
00:48:43,129 --> 00:48:44,916
Curiosity took over.
836
00:48:44,922 --> 00:48:49,166
I wanted to know where he was,
whether he was still alive
837
00:48:49,176 --> 00:48:51,589
and through the Red Cross,
838
00:48:51,595 --> 00:48:55,509
I found where my father
lived which was an Island.
839
00:48:55,516 --> 00:48:59,385
She had not seen her father
since that day of 1939
840
00:48:59,395 --> 00:49:01,011
before World War Il
841
00:49:01,021 --> 00:49:03,354
a few days before the war broke out.
842
00:49:03,357 --> 00:49:07,397
And then she was this huge star reunited
843
00:49:07,403 --> 00:49:10,020
with a total stranger
who had abandoned her
844
00:49:10,990 --> 00:49:13,152
in this nondescript place,
845
00:49:13,159 --> 00:49:16,527
accompanied by her husband who
was drifting away from her.
846
00:49:17,997 --> 00:49:19,488
And when she met with her father,
847
00:49:19,498 --> 00:49:22,457
she never asked for answers
848
00:49:22,460 --> 00:49:25,328
and that she could not
demand anything from him.
849
00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,540
When she was telling me
the story, she was crying,
850
00:49:30,676 --> 00:49:33,544
she said he was so cold.
851
00:49:33,554 --> 00:49:35,090
He did not receive her.
852
00:49:36,265 --> 00:49:38,427
And she said that really hurt her.
853
00:49:41,103 --> 00:49:45,222
That kind of emotional
state and the realization
854
00:49:45,232 --> 00:49:50,227
that whatever she'd expected,
he would not give her.
855
00:49:54,450 --> 00:49:58,535
In spite of everything,
Audrey decided to forgive him.
856
00:49:58,537 --> 00:50:01,496
And that there was no point in trying
857
00:50:01,499 --> 00:50:04,242
to right the wrongs
858
00:50:04,251 --> 00:50:08,291
or trying to have him
admit to what he'd done.
859
00:50:08,297 --> 00:50:11,461
There is a sense of her insecurities
860
00:50:11,467 --> 00:50:14,960
that translated into
her relations with men.
861
00:50:14,970 --> 00:50:17,257
And the fear of being of being abandoned,
862
00:50:17,264 --> 00:50:19,256
certainly was something that
863
00:50:19,266 --> 00:50:21,633
she went through in her relationships.
864
00:50:24,438 --> 00:50:26,896
No two people are ever perfect.
865
00:50:28,150 --> 00:50:31,143
If there's enough friendship and love,
866
00:50:31,153 --> 00:50:32,940
you overcome it or whatever.
867
00:50:34,114 --> 00:50:36,822
But obviously when a
marriage doesn't work anymore
868
00:50:36,825 --> 00:50:38,487
then everything becomes destructive.
869
00:50:42,540 --> 00:50:46,580
Audrey was not very happy
with men. That's all.
870
00:50:46,585 --> 00:50:50,044
I'm going to California next
week to talk further about it
871
00:50:50,047 --> 00:50:52,380
- With or without your wife?
- I'll go without.
872
00:50:53,300 --> 00:50:55,292
She's not ready to do anything like that.
873
00:50:57,429 --> 00:51:00,968
Audry divorced Mel in '68,
874
00:51:00,975 --> 00:51:03,558
but the marriage was already over.
875
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:07,638
My father spent the rest of his life
876
00:51:07,648 --> 00:51:09,981
regretting having lost that relationship.
877
00:51:09,984 --> 00:51:12,226
That was the relationship of his life
878
00:51:12,236 --> 00:51:15,024
and the woman of his
life. No doubt about it.
879
00:51:17,199 --> 00:51:20,158
I hung on in there as long as I could.
880
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,403
For the child's sake, is why we hang on.
881
00:51:24,498 --> 00:51:28,663
Also out of respect for
the marriage and for love
882
00:51:28,669 --> 00:51:31,958
of the person that you
certainly once loved.
883
00:51:33,882 --> 00:51:36,169
You always hope that if
you love somebody enough
884
00:51:36,176 --> 00:51:38,338
that everything will be right
885
00:51:38,345 --> 00:51:39,927
and things will come together again,
886
00:51:39,930 --> 00:51:42,013
but it isn't always true.
887
00:52:10,210 --> 00:52:11,872
I wanted to be a mother.
888
00:52:13,172 --> 00:52:15,209
Ever since I was a child, I loved babies,
889
00:52:15,215 --> 00:52:17,923
and when I was grown up I was
going to have lots of babies.
890
00:52:21,555 --> 00:52:26,346
I think that has been a
conducting theme in my life.
891
00:52:26,352 --> 00:52:28,560
It's what's made my decisions always.
892
00:52:31,482 --> 00:52:32,398
And because I wanted it so much
893
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:33,607
and wanted to enjoy very much,
894
00:52:33,609 --> 00:52:36,818
and not rip myself away from all the time,
895
00:52:36,820 --> 00:52:38,812
I started withdrawing.
896
00:52:43,077 --> 00:52:44,488
They'd made 'Wait until dark'
897
00:52:44,495 --> 00:52:46,578
when Sean had reached the age of six
898
00:52:46,580 --> 00:52:50,073
and he had to go to school,
but no longer travel with me.
899
00:52:51,543 --> 00:52:53,535
And I was just missing him.
900
00:52:56,507 --> 00:53:00,922
The studio did want me to
either have me wear dark glasses
901
00:53:00,928 --> 00:53:04,012
or have a scar near an eye.
902
00:53:04,014 --> 00:53:06,131
Be blind in some way.
903
00:53:07,601 --> 00:53:09,183
Which worried me terribly.
904
00:53:11,605 --> 00:53:14,097
I'd call home and he'd have a fever.
905
00:53:14,108 --> 00:53:16,441
And he was so far away
and I missed him terribly.
906
00:53:18,904 --> 00:53:21,112
I longed for this child.
907
00:53:21,115 --> 00:53:23,232
And it just made me too unhappy.
908
00:53:23,242 --> 00:53:26,076
So I, more or less quit
movies down to stay home.
909
00:53:28,163 --> 00:53:29,495
Once she had had her family,
910
00:53:29,498 --> 00:53:31,490
She had kind of reached her Apex.
911
00:53:31,500 --> 00:53:33,412
she really didn't want that life.
912
00:53:33,419 --> 00:53:36,002
She really wanted to be with her family.
913
00:53:36,004 --> 00:53:38,417
She just wanted to live
in an anonymous life.
914
00:53:38,424 --> 00:53:39,835
Unheard of really.
915
00:53:39,842 --> 00:53:43,335
She turned her back on Hollywood
and movies for 10 years
916
00:53:43,345 --> 00:53:45,553
and 10 important years.
917
00:53:45,556 --> 00:53:48,094
I cannot think of many people in Hollywood
918
00:53:48,100 --> 00:53:51,844
who gave up a career,
let alone her career.
919
00:53:51,854 --> 00:53:54,562
She was sitting in it. She saw it.
920
00:53:54,565 --> 00:53:57,103
She was the first actress
to get a million dollars
921
00:53:57,109 --> 00:53:58,816
together with Elizabeth Taylor
922
00:53:58,819 --> 00:54:00,981
and the red carpets being rolled out
923
00:54:00,988 --> 00:54:03,651
and the parts being
offered and she stops it.
924
00:54:03,657 --> 00:54:06,070
It may have been near the peak
of her career when she said
925
00:54:06,076 --> 00:54:10,161
I'm choosing to put family
over another great role,
926
00:54:10,164 --> 00:54:11,038
which she was offered
927
00:54:11,039 --> 00:54:13,497
when she was always at
the top of anyone's list
928
00:54:13,500 --> 00:54:15,162
of leading ladies.
929
00:54:15,169 --> 00:54:18,287
But because of the difficult
life she led as an adolescent
930
00:54:18,297 --> 00:54:21,085
and as a teenager,
931
00:54:21,091 --> 00:54:23,959
family came first over anything else.
932
00:54:25,137 --> 00:54:27,470
I don't want to be made to sound virtuous.
933
00:54:27,473 --> 00:54:29,055
It was a very knowing,
934
00:54:29,057 --> 00:54:33,392
and if you like selfish decision,
it's what made me happy.
935
00:54:33,395 --> 00:54:34,931
It was to stay home with my children.
936
00:54:34,938 --> 00:54:38,022
It was not a sacrifice because
I thought I should take care
937
00:54:38,025 --> 00:54:39,391
of my children.
938
00:54:42,905 --> 00:54:46,398
The feeling of family
is terribly important.
939
00:54:48,619 --> 00:54:50,531
I think it's essential.
940
00:54:55,834 --> 00:54:57,543
I learned as a child that
it's terribly important
941
00:54:57,544 --> 00:54:59,126
for a child to have a father.
942
00:55:00,924 --> 00:55:02,380
Having my father cut off,
943
00:55:02,382 --> 00:55:04,999
or cut himself off,
944
00:55:05,010 --> 00:55:06,010
I was desperate.
945
00:55:09,139 --> 00:55:10,846
If I could have just seen him regularly,
946
00:55:10,849 --> 00:55:12,886
I would have felt he loved me
947
00:55:12,893 --> 00:55:14,634
and I would have had a father.
948
00:55:17,397 --> 00:55:21,061
and I tried desperately to
avoid it for my children.
949
00:55:25,531 --> 00:55:28,569
You become very insecure about affection,
950
00:55:28,575 --> 00:55:31,238
and terribly grateful for it
951
00:55:31,245 --> 00:55:34,909
and you have an enormous
desire to give it.
952
00:55:36,792 --> 00:55:38,579
I think she had to kind
of prove to herself
953
00:55:38,585 --> 00:55:41,168
that unconditional love was possible.
954
00:55:43,215 --> 00:55:47,334
I think she was just chasing
that her in her whole life.
955
00:56:05,487 --> 00:56:07,149
In 1969,
956
00:56:07,155 --> 00:56:09,989
the common friend of Andrea and Audrey
957
00:56:09,992 --> 00:56:11,278
invited them on a cruise.
958
00:56:11,285 --> 00:56:16,201
And then they met and they
decided to get married.
959
00:56:20,502 --> 00:56:22,164
At the beginning of the marriage,
960
00:56:22,170 --> 00:56:26,130
she was so pleased to
be the wife of a doctor.
961
00:56:28,135 --> 00:56:30,468
I remember Audrey helping Andrea
962
00:56:30,470 --> 00:56:34,384
to prepare the dose of
lithium for the patient.
963
00:56:34,391 --> 00:56:36,223
She was so passionate about that.
964
00:56:45,819 --> 00:56:48,482
In 1970 Luca was born
965
00:56:48,488 --> 00:56:53,483
and we moved to Rome where
she lived until '83 or '84.
966
00:56:56,997 --> 00:56:59,239
Audrey and Andrea.
967
00:56:59,249 --> 00:57:01,332
They have a very strong bond,
968
00:57:01,335 --> 00:57:05,545
even if they were so different
from each other so different,
969
00:57:05,547 --> 00:57:09,166
but the bond was very strong
in between the two of them.
970
00:57:14,014 --> 00:57:18,634
I knew Andrea Dotti, he was
one of the Italian friend
971
00:57:18,644 --> 00:57:23,639
when Andrea married Audrey
we became immediately friend.
972
00:57:25,943 --> 00:57:29,061
Audrey was my neighbor
when they lived in Rome
973
00:57:29,071 --> 00:57:31,859
in early 70's
974
00:57:31,865 --> 00:57:36,360
and my mother was a
great friend of Audrey's.
975
00:57:36,370 --> 00:57:37,328
She loved Rome.
976
00:57:37,329 --> 00:57:40,323
She had an unpretentious house there
977
00:57:40,332 --> 00:57:43,370
filled with flowers and
she loved being in Rome
978
00:57:43,377 --> 00:57:45,494
and Rome loved her.
979
00:57:59,935 --> 00:58:02,643
There were many areas where we could meet.
980
00:58:02,646 --> 00:58:07,357
It could be the vegetable
shop, the butcher.
981
00:58:08,235 --> 00:58:12,070
She just put a pair of pants and tee shirt
982
00:58:12,072 --> 00:58:16,237
and she would go shopping
as everybody else.
983
00:58:18,662 --> 00:58:20,244
It was 1972
984
00:58:21,164 --> 00:58:25,124
and we rent a very simple house
985
00:58:25,127 --> 00:58:27,119
in a place named Bulgari.
986
00:58:28,213 --> 00:58:30,580
There were a little house on the beach
987
00:58:30,590 --> 00:58:33,424
and we shared one of
this house with Audrey.
988
00:58:34,845 --> 00:58:37,303
Audrey was married with Andrea
989
00:58:37,305 --> 00:58:39,422
and little Luca was with them.
990
00:58:39,433 --> 00:58:42,050
Sean came to visit from time to time.
991
00:58:43,562 --> 00:58:45,599
She adore her two children.
992
00:58:45,605 --> 00:58:47,642
She really was in love with them
993
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:50,850
and she loved Andrea.
994
00:58:54,114 --> 00:58:55,400
Audrey was so happy.
995
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:02,362
But Andrea had
996
00:59:02,372 --> 00:59:05,240
a very destructive part of himself,
997
00:59:06,418 --> 00:59:10,958
he was a person with a
complicated personality.
998
00:59:12,257 --> 00:59:15,295
In a way he was the serious doctor.
999
00:59:15,302 --> 00:59:17,089
He was very professional.
1000
00:59:17,095 --> 00:59:18,961
He was a psychiatric.
1001
00:59:18,972 --> 00:59:20,929
He was really good.
1002
00:59:20,932 --> 00:59:25,677
And in other end, he was the
typical Roman, a young man.
1003
00:59:27,147 --> 00:59:28,979
He was committing a lot of adultery
1004
00:59:28,982 --> 00:59:32,100
and he was photographed with
over 200 different women.
1005
00:59:32,110 --> 00:59:34,067
By this one, Italian paparazzi.
1006
00:59:36,448 --> 00:59:39,987
It was devastating, totally devastating.
1007
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:45,663
And Audrey was suffering a lot.
1008
00:59:46,958 --> 00:59:49,371
She told me I suffered so much.
1009
00:59:49,377 --> 00:59:51,369
But surely know the
doctors never take care
1010
00:59:51,379 --> 00:59:54,167
of their own families and
least of all themselves.
1011
00:59:54,174 --> 00:59:56,006
They're great with their patients,
1012
00:59:56,009 --> 00:59:58,501
but they don't want to
take care of their family.
1013
01:00:03,975 --> 01:00:05,557
Your heart just breaks, that's all.
1014
01:00:06,603 --> 01:00:11,598
Men are human beings with
all the frailties women have.
1015
01:00:13,652 --> 01:00:15,985
Perhaps they are more
vulnerable than women.
1016
01:00:16,863 --> 01:00:19,947
I think you can hurt a man so easily.
1017
01:00:19,950 --> 01:00:22,533
You cannot judge, you
cannot point fingers,
1018
01:00:22,536 --> 01:00:24,448
you cannot put anybody in a mould.
1019
01:00:26,039 --> 01:00:29,077
You just got to be lucky
enough to find somebody
1020
01:00:29,084 --> 01:00:30,120
who you can satisfy,
1021
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,458
and then who pleases you, if you're lucky.
1022
01:00:40,053 --> 01:00:42,545
I met Andrea. When I visited in Rome,
1023
01:00:44,891 --> 01:00:47,304
Audrey was under bed rest with Luca.
1024
01:00:47,310 --> 01:00:50,894
At that time the doctor
said, just go to bed
1025
01:00:50,897 --> 01:00:52,138
early in your pregnancy.
1026
01:00:52,149 --> 01:00:54,892
So we said like, come on,
we'll go out to a club.
1027
01:00:54,901 --> 01:00:56,984
So he took me clubbing in Rome,
1028
01:00:58,363 --> 01:01:02,653
which I didn't think
was the greatest idea.
1029
01:01:03,660 --> 01:01:05,526
You should see the pictures from Audrey.
1030
01:01:05,537 --> 01:01:10,407
In that time, she lost a little
bit of light in her eyes.
1031
01:01:11,877 --> 01:01:16,417
I really couldn't understand
why such a sweet lady
1032
01:01:17,257 --> 01:01:20,091
like her had to find herself
1033
01:01:20,093 --> 01:01:24,087
with a man that wouldn't deserve her,
1034
01:01:24,097 --> 01:01:25,588
wouldn't understand her.
1035
01:01:27,184 --> 01:01:30,348
She wanted to do her
best to become a acquainted
1036
01:01:30,353 --> 01:01:32,891
with the people in Rome.
1037
01:01:32,898 --> 01:01:33,979
And the people in Rome
1038
01:01:33,982 --> 01:01:37,020
they have a mentality
very different of Audrey.
1039
01:01:37,027 --> 01:01:38,609
Very, very different to her.
1040
01:01:39,487 --> 01:01:42,355
They were gossiping,
they were superficial.
1041
01:01:43,283 --> 01:01:46,151
So it was difficult for her to understand.
1042
01:01:46,161 --> 01:01:49,199
When my second son was born
1043
01:01:49,206 --> 01:01:51,994
and I was at that time living in Rome,
1044
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,413
I could take him
nowhere, not to a park,
1045
01:01:54,419 --> 01:01:57,207
not down the street,
not put him on a terrace
1046
01:01:57,214 --> 01:01:58,580
without paparazzi.
1047
01:01:58,590 --> 01:02:00,172
She is very private.
1048
01:02:00,175 --> 01:02:03,839
And also she was very
very angry with the press.
1049
01:02:03,845 --> 01:02:06,963
Like people climbing trees and photograph.
1050
01:02:06,973 --> 01:02:10,137
Everybody wanted to have a picture of her.
1051
01:02:10,143 --> 01:02:15,138
They didn't even give her
freedom in her own house.
1052
01:02:15,315 --> 01:02:20,310
Audrey's life was affected
by people that like
1053
01:02:22,155 --> 01:02:25,114
wanted to steal her privacy.
1054
01:02:25,116 --> 01:02:27,449
And this is something nobody can bear.
1055
01:02:28,662 --> 01:02:33,532
It's not something you wish
for your family to have
1056
01:02:33,541 --> 01:02:37,501
your private life always in front page.
1057
01:02:38,505 --> 01:02:41,339
I was with Audrey, we went to do shopping
1058
01:02:41,341 --> 01:02:44,049
and a woman from the public approached me
1059
01:02:44,052 --> 01:02:46,465
and said is that Audrey Hepburn?
1060
01:02:46,471 --> 01:02:48,383
And I was about to say yes
1061
01:02:48,390 --> 01:02:51,428
then I saw Audrey she became pale.
1062
01:02:51,434 --> 01:02:54,598
And she stared at me saying no, no, no.
1063
01:02:54,604 --> 01:02:57,312
Off course I said, no, no
she's not Audrey Hepburn.
1064
01:02:57,315 --> 01:02:59,181
She just looked like her.
1065
01:02:59,192 --> 01:03:03,436
Now she was almost shaking
and she said thanks God.
1066
01:03:03,446 --> 01:03:05,529
You're no idea what can happen.
1067
01:03:05,532 --> 01:03:07,615
I mean, she was terrified.
1068
01:03:10,370 --> 01:03:12,532
I think her life was difficult,
1069
01:03:12,539 --> 01:03:13,497
in her marriage.
1070
01:03:13,498 --> 01:03:16,492
And I felt that she
didn't really wanna act
1071
01:03:16,501 --> 01:03:18,538
too much anymore.
1072
01:03:18,545 --> 01:03:21,413
And so I was thrilled that
I had her for this picture.
1073
01:03:22,882 --> 01:03:24,466
When she stepped in front of the camera,
1074
01:03:24,467 --> 01:03:27,050
she was the ultimate professional.
1075
01:03:27,053 --> 01:03:28,339
And then when I said cut,
1076
01:03:28,346 --> 01:03:30,429
she became Audrey with the cigarettes.
1077
01:03:31,224 --> 01:03:34,058
She was rather nervous. She smoked a lot,
1078
01:03:34,060 --> 01:03:37,269
very sweet but anxious, fragile.
1079
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,807
I knew the marriage was a problem.
1080
01:03:40,817 --> 01:03:43,605
And that she wasn't at her happiest with
1081
01:03:43,611 --> 01:03:46,820
that marriage at all.
1082
01:03:46,823 --> 01:03:50,362
She was persuaded to go
on with this marriage
1083
01:03:50,368 --> 01:03:54,362
especially because they
have Luca and he wanted
1084
01:03:54,372 --> 01:03:57,956
to succeed in the marriage.
1085
01:03:57,959 --> 01:03:59,916
But the in the end it was impossible.
1086
01:04:02,589 --> 01:04:05,548
I was told that
Audrey's getting another divorce
1087
01:04:07,635 --> 01:04:09,922
and it didn't surprise me.
1088
01:04:12,223 --> 01:04:17,264
She struggled with the
idea of a perfect family,
1089
01:04:19,189 --> 01:04:22,273
a perfect housewife's life,
1090
01:04:23,651 --> 01:04:28,237
very simple things that make life easy.
1091
01:04:29,532 --> 01:04:31,273
I don't think she had that.
1092
01:04:32,994 --> 01:04:36,453
Everything she had to
little bit fight for.
1093
01:04:39,292 --> 01:04:42,080
Having a miscarriage is heart-rendig.
1094
01:04:44,964 --> 01:04:48,082
Certainly one of the most
traumatic experiences I had.
1095
01:04:52,013 --> 01:04:53,013
But so is divorce.
1096
01:04:56,643 --> 01:04:59,135
It's probably one of the worst experiences
1097
01:04:59,145 --> 01:05:01,478
a human being can go through.
1098
01:05:03,942 --> 01:05:06,810
I think when you have
problems and so forth,
1099
01:05:06,820 --> 01:05:09,437
you can sense a loneliness,
1100
01:05:09,447 --> 01:05:12,360
because it is you that has to get it done
1101
01:05:12,367 --> 01:05:14,279
or you that has to make the decision.
1102
01:05:16,621 --> 01:05:18,078
We all have an innate loneliness,
1103
01:05:18,081 --> 01:05:22,542
because finally when the
chips are down you are alone.
1104
01:05:22,544 --> 01:05:26,254
You know, my dad said
about my grandmother,
1105
01:05:27,173 --> 01:05:31,417
that the best kept secret about
Audrey was that she was sad.
1106
01:05:36,015 --> 01:05:38,257
Not really. It really makes
me sad to think about,
1107
01:05:38,268 --> 01:05:41,011
like I think she,
1108
01:05:41,020 --> 01:05:45,185
I really think she just wanted
love and to be loved and,
1109
01:05:48,361 --> 01:05:50,819
I think she got, I did think
she got that in her life,
1110
01:05:50,822 --> 01:05:53,280
but I think she didn't get
it from a lot of people.
1111
01:05:54,534 --> 01:05:56,577
For the for the woman who was
the most loved in the world
1112
01:05:56,578 --> 01:06:00,322
to have such a lack of love is so sad.
1113
01:07:29,379 --> 01:07:34,170
There was peace
and there is quietness
1114
01:07:35,134 --> 01:07:36,134
just call them.
1115
01:07:39,347 --> 01:07:43,182
She could take a very positive energy
1116
01:07:44,352 --> 01:07:47,186
and she could be at home.
1117
01:07:47,188 --> 01:07:52,183
And just with the nature and
very away from Hollywood,
1118
01:07:52,986 --> 01:07:54,352
the problems with paparazzi.
1119
01:07:56,239 --> 01:07:59,323
The name of La Paisible
means in French quietness
1120
01:08:00,201 --> 01:08:04,036
La Paisible was very
beautiful house, old farm,
1121
01:08:04,038 --> 01:08:06,997
totally restored in a beautiful residence.
1122
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:09,663
Built in the 18th century in Switzerland,
1123
01:08:11,129 --> 01:08:14,247
In '84 Luca who went to boarding school
1124
01:08:14,257 --> 01:08:15,964
at which point she left Rome
1125
01:08:15,967 --> 01:08:17,674
and moved permanently to Switzerland.
1126
01:08:19,178 --> 01:08:24,014
After a full life of working
ever since she could remember,
1127
01:08:24,017 --> 01:08:26,509
it's a welcome thing
to be able to get away
1128
01:08:26,519 --> 01:08:29,603
and be in a restful and peaceful place.
1129
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:34,316
It was such a charming, beautiful house.
1130
01:08:34,319 --> 01:08:36,185
It was the house of her dream.
1131
01:08:37,196 --> 01:08:42,191
She told me, I want just to
be relaxed and to be quiet.
1132
01:08:43,202 --> 01:08:46,536
That's why she turned off so
many proposition for movie.
1133
01:08:47,540 --> 01:08:50,954
She was not the star
that people gawked at.
1134
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:53,247
If she walked down the
street in New York city,
1135
01:08:53,254 --> 01:08:54,995
people would go crazy.
1136
01:08:55,006 --> 01:08:57,874
But in Switzerland she
was just another person.
1137
01:09:14,442 --> 01:09:18,356
I only have one life, which is me,
1138
01:09:18,363 --> 01:09:21,322
my family, my children.
1139
01:09:22,283 --> 01:09:25,902
I personally do very
little publicity as such
1140
01:09:25,912 --> 01:09:30,031
so that I can have a real life,
a private one if you like,
1141
01:09:30,041 --> 01:09:32,909
but just an everyday ordinary life.
1142
01:10:05,410 --> 01:10:09,120
Our family started living in La Pausible
1143
01:10:09,122 --> 01:10:12,456
since the very beginning of
their relation with Audrey.
1144
01:10:13,626 --> 01:10:16,243
My mother was the private cook of Audrey
1145
01:10:16,254 --> 01:10:18,587
and they cooked a lot together.
1146
01:10:18,589 --> 01:10:22,128
My parents were close to her
1147
01:10:22,135 --> 01:10:23,922
because we lived all together.
1148
01:10:25,471 --> 01:10:28,134
My father was the private gardener,
1149
01:10:28,141 --> 01:10:31,851
Audrey and my father was
totally devoted to the garden.
1150
01:10:31,853 --> 01:10:36,063
And she was so proud to be able
to cook her own vegetables,
1151
01:10:36,065 --> 01:10:37,272
coming from the gardens.
1152
01:10:41,070 --> 01:10:42,362
I love that house. I love the garden,
1153
01:10:42,363 --> 01:10:45,151
the fruit trees and everything grows there
1154
01:10:45,158 --> 01:10:46,490
and I have my dogs.
1155
01:10:46,492 --> 01:10:48,279
I don't know anything
much about gardening,
1156
01:10:48,286 --> 01:10:50,323
but I love to mess around in the garden.
1157
01:10:50,329 --> 01:10:54,539
I find it very pleasant, very
relaxing, a good therapy.
1158
01:10:57,170 --> 01:10:59,662
I look back with enormous
happiness on my career.
1159
01:11:02,508 --> 01:11:04,249
But there's a time for everything.
1160
01:11:05,428 --> 01:11:07,260
And I think at this point in my life
1161
01:11:08,181 --> 01:11:09,181
you can't beat it.
1162
01:11:15,271 --> 01:11:17,137
I'm a very lucky girl.
1163
01:11:20,067 --> 01:11:21,979
I've been often through hell,
1164
01:11:21,986 --> 01:11:24,353
but I've always always
come out at the other end.
1165
01:11:27,158 --> 01:11:29,445
Either somebody helped
me, or something happened.
1166
01:11:33,206 --> 01:11:35,163
Robbie's a living example of that.
1167
01:11:39,212 --> 01:11:43,001
Robert was the companion of Merle Oberon
1168
01:11:43,007 --> 01:11:44,999
And when Merle died,
1169
01:11:45,009 --> 01:11:47,501
she left all the possession to Robert.
1170
01:11:48,846 --> 01:11:50,428
So Robert decide
1171
01:11:50,431 --> 01:11:54,425
to put all the jewelry
of Merle in auction
1172
01:11:54,435 --> 01:11:55,551
for charity.
1173
01:11:56,646 --> 01:12:00,105
And at this auction,
Robert and Audrey met.
1174
01:12:03,569 --> 01:12:05,561
We were both very, very unhappy
1175
01:12:05,571 --> 01:12:08,359
and we did talk about our unhappiness.
1176
01:12:08,366 --> 01:12:10,323
I was in one of the worst periods
1177
01:12:10,326 --> 01:12:12,067
at the end of my marriage.
1178
01:12:12,078 --> 01:12:13,990
So we both cried into our beers.
1179
01:12:17,917 --> 01:12:20,580
He's very loving, he's
a very affectionate man.
1180
01:12:22,630 --> 01:12:25,338
I can trust him, I trust his love.
1181
01:12:25,341 --> 01:12:27,924
I never fear that I'm losing it.
1182
01:12:27,927 --> 01:12:30,089
He reassures me in every way.
1183
01:12:33,975 --> 01:12:34,851
They were never married
1184
01:12:34,852 --> 01:12:37,594
but I really think that they
had that love for each other,
1185
01:12:37,603 --> 01:12:40,311
just truly for who they were.
1186
01:12:41,858 --> 01:12:43,599
Robert was what Audrey needed.
1187
01:12:44,944 --> 01:12:48,108
Kindness, companion, presence,
1188
01:12:49,282 --> 01:12:50,898
and safety.
1189
01:12:52,243 --> 01:12:54,075
It's curious, we found each other
1190
01:12:54,078 --> 01:12:56,821
both with our Dutch heritage,
1191
01:12:56,831 --> 01:13:01,292
but it's given something very
special to our relationship.
1192
01:13:01,294 --> 01:13:04,253
It adds to the intimacy
of our loving each other
1193
01:13:04,255 --> 01:13:05,336
and of our friendship.
1194
01:13:07,550 --> 01:13:10,634
We like the same things,
and we like the same life.
1195
01:13:11,971 --> 01:13:14,884
We love a quiet life, we love
the country, we love our dogs.
1196
01:13:16,642 --> 01:13:19,885
And everything we do together is such fun.
1197
01:13:22,189 --> 01:13:23,851
We're very happy together.
1198
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:32,489
My mother had told me
Audrey she was so happy
1199
01:13:32,491 --> 01:13:34,027
and she explained to my family
1200
01:13:34,035 --> 01:13:35,992
how I met a fantastic men
1201
01:13:35,995 --> 01:13:40,410
and she was wondering about what my sister
1202
01:13:40,416 --> 01:13:44,285
will think to have a new man imagine.
1203
01:13:44,295 --> 01:13:46,833
So she she asked my mother,
1204
01:13:46,839 --> 01:13:49,832
what do you think is not a problem?
1205
01:13:49,842 --> 01:13:52,255
They loved to stay at my mother's house.
1206
01:13:52,261 --> 01:13:55,345
There was a wing added for my grandmother
1207
01:13:55,348 --> 01:13:57,840
and that was called Audrey's suite.
1208
01:13:58,851 --> 01:14:01,559
They would come down
and sit in their kitchen
1209
01:14:01,562 --> 01:14:04,179
and have coffee and talk about menus.
1210
01:14:04,190 --> 01:14:05,649
And who do you want to invite for dinner.
1211
01:14:05,650 --> 01:14:08,188
And always a lot of love there.
1212
01:14:11,155 --> 01:14:13,192
She was very, very happy
1213
01:14:13,199 --> 01:14:16,192
and she wanted to have a
peaceful moment of her life.
1214
01:14:18,454 --> 01:14:23,040
Her cousin was the Dutch console to Macau
1215
01:14:23,042 --> 01:14:26,535
and he'd invited her to come and join
1216
01:14:26,545 --> 01:14:29,208
this beautiful concert
that he would put together
1217
01:14:29,215 --> 01:14:30,215
for UNICEF.
1218
01:14:31,592 --> 01:14:33,385
She said, why don't you say
a few words about children,
1219
01:14:33,386 --> 01:14:34,968
about your experience in the war,
1220
01:14:34,971 --> 01:14:37,463
which she did in front of the full room.
1221
01:14:37,473 --> 01:14:40,887
And after she spoke, it
turns out the head of UNICEF,
1222
01:14:40,893 --> 01:14:43,226
Jim Grant, was in the
audience and he approached us.
1223
01:14:43,229 --> 01:14:46,222
How would you feel about
being a full time ambassador
1224
01:14:46,232 --> 01:14:47,232
for UNICEF.
1225
01:14:50,236 --> 01:14:52,398
I had looked forward to a period
1226
01:14:52,405 --> 01:14:54,943
finally after all the
traveling that I've done,
1227
01:14:54,949 --> 01:14:56,190
since I was a child
1228
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:59,159
to one day be able to retire there
1229
01:14:59,161 --> 01:15:02,245
and take care of my garden and the dogs
1230
01:15:02,248 --> 01:15:03,580
and everything I love,
1231
01:15:03,582 --> 01:15:07,417
that's my idea of heaven,
1232
01:15:07,420 --> 01:15:11,039
but I'm moving around
the world once again,
1233
01:15:11,048 --> 01:15:13,836
but I'm happy to do it
because for the children
1234
01:15:13,843 --> 01:15:14,924
I'd go to the moon.
1235
01:15:18,639 --> 01:15:20,426
I have known UNICEF all my life
1236
01:15:20,433 --> 01:15:23,551
and it's a marvelous happening for me
1237
01:15:23,561 --> 01:15:25,553
that they're allowing me to do this.
1238
01:15:27,356 --> 01:15:30,565
She was happy to support.
She was proud and happy.
1239
01:15:30,568 --> 01:15:34,278
She was offering her
noteriety to a good cause.
1240
01:15:35,281 --> 01:15:38,240
I think all the love that
she showed to children
1241
01:15:38,242 --> 01:15:40,825
and to mothers around the world,
1242
01:15:40,828 --> 01:15:43,445
I think it was a way of
healing for herself too.
1243
01:15:44,874 --> 01:15:46,456
She did live through the war
1244
01:15:46,459 --> 01:15:51,454
and it is because she knew not
just the hunger of the body,
1245
01:15:52,131 --> 01:15:54,168
but the hunger of the soul
1246
01:15:54,175 --> 01:15:58,465
that she was able to
connect to these children.
1247
01:16:17,114 --> 01:16:20,573
The first thing I remember
after our liberation in Holland
1248
01:16:20,576 --> 01:16:23,910
was the Red Cross and UNICEF coming in
1249
01:16:23,913 --> 01:16:26,906
and filling all the empty
buildings that they could find.
1250
01:16:26,916 --> 01:16:28,657
With food and clothing and medication.
1251
01:16:31,003 --> 01:16:33,996
I was suffering from a rather high degree
1252
01:16:34,006 --> 01:16:36,919
of malnutrition when the war ended.
1253
01:16:36,926 --> 01:16:39,293
So God knows, I know the value of food.
1254
01:16:41,889 --> 01:16:46,850
I think my whole life has
been formed by those memories.
1255
01:16:48,604 --> 01:16:50,095
As a child.
1256
01:16:50,106 --> 01:16:52,143
I knew about this side of life,
1257
01:16:53,067 --> 01:16:55,184
so much suffering and so much poverty.
1258
01:16:56,529 --> 01:16:59,021
Those images have never, never left me.
1259
01:17:01,575 --> 01:17:03,862
But I think perhaps the
most important thing,
1260
01:17:03,869 --> 01:17:07,328
which I carried through life
of that particular period was
1261
01:17:07,331 --> 01:17:09,368
as things got worse,
1262
01:17:09,375 --> 01:17:12,459
there's something marvelous about humanity
1263
01:17:12,461 --> 01:17:15,829
is under circumstances like that,
1264
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:17,297
you need each other more.
1265
01:17:19,635 --> 01:17:24,630
And if this career has left me
with something very special,
1266
01:17:25,057 --> 01:17:28,641
it's the fact that it's
left me with this voice,
1267
01:17:28,644 --> 01:17:32,479
this curiosity, people have
still to see me to talk to me,
1268
01:17:32,481 --> 01:17:34,973
which I can use for the good of children.
1269
01:17:43,117 --> 01:17:44,858
- Where do I go?
- You can go back here.
1270
01:17:44,869 --> 01:17:45,905
Go back here.
1271
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:56,124
What I really am as a messenger
if you like for UNICEF.
1272
01:17:58,465 --> 01:18:02,175
There's so much involved apart from seeing
1273
01:18:02,178 --> 01:18:07,139
and meeting the media and
talking to people and in general,
1274
01:18:08,976 --> 01:18:13,095
it's advocacy for the needs of a child.
1275
01:18:13,105 --> 01:18:14,105
And there's so many children.
1276
01:18:14,106 --> 01:18:15,222
So there's lots to do.
1277
01:18:16,609 --> 01:18:19,898
Audrey took very seriously the commitment.
1278
01:18:19,904 --> 01:18:23,614
And before any mission,
she studied the situation.
1279
01:18:23,616 --> 01:18:27,030
She studied politically
and she got very involved
1280
01:18:27,036 --> 01:18:29,369
with all the social problem
1281
01:18:29,371 --> 01:18:32,114
and against their will to be peaceful.
1282
01:18:32,124 --> 01:18:35,617
She started to be involved in
this very stressing mission.
1283
01:18:37,922 --> 01:18:41,006
At the end of the war, she
saw a society and a promise
1284
01:18:41,008 --> 01:18:42,920
that we would never do this again.
1285
01:18:42,927 --> 01:18:46,136
And that we were putting
safeguards to prevent that.
1286
01:18:47,306 --> 01:18:51,266
And now she's propelled 35 years later
1287
01:18:51,268 --> 01:18:53,385
and finds herself in a camp in Somalia.
1288
01:18:55,147 --> 01:18:58,140
In September of 1992,
1289
01:18:58,150 --> 01:19:03,191
I was in Somalia reporting
for the associated press
1290
01:19:03,864 --> 01:19:08,859
about the famine that
was gripping the country.
1291
01:19:09,245 --> 01:19:14,240
Audrey was visiting programs
that UNICEF was involved in
1292
01:19:15,251 --> 01:19:18,039
for malnourished children.
1293
01:19:18,045 --> 01:19:22,335
In a place like Somalia,
you could see that
1294
01:19:22,341 --> 01:19:26,130
there really was not enough food to help.
1295
01:19:26,136 --> 01:19:31,097
And I think she was very upset
that there was so much death.
1296
01:19:56,542 --> 01:19:59,580
Then she realized the vastity,
1297
01:19:59,586 --> 01:20:03,045
the tragedy of what we've seen.
1298
01:20:04,550 --> 01:20:06,917
In a sense you are marked from that
1299
01:20:06,927 --> 01:20:10,967
and you want to go back
and back and back again.
1300
01:20:10,973 --> 01:20:13,135
In a way is a sort of addiction?
1301
01:20:14,226 --> 01:20:19,221
I knew that she was roiling
in anxieties and things.
1302
01:20:21,567 --> 01:20:24,651
She wanted to relieve pain
1303
01:20:26,363 --> 01:20:27,363
but she couldn't.
1304
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:31,824
She was mad at the fact
that this was being allowed
1305
01:20:31,827 --> 01:20:33,159
in the 20th century,
1306
01:20:33,162 --> 01:20:36,155
after the deprivations
that she lived through
1307
01:20:36,165 --> 01:20:37,576
because of a World War.
1308
01:20:37,583 --> 01:20:39,370
We're not in a world war.
1309
01:20:39,376 --> 01:20:42,494
And there's no reason for
children who be hungry anywhere.
1310
01:20:44,590 --> 01:20:48,550
To see small children just
die in front of your eyes
1311
01:20:49,928 --> 01:20:51,214
because they're starving.
1312
01:20:52,097 --> 01:20:54,965
It's just is so totally unacceptable.
1313
01:20:57,561 --> 01:21:02,181
And I'm filled with a rage at ourselves.
1314
01:21:05,027 --> 01:21:07,019
I don't believe in collective guilt,
1315
01:21:07,029 --> 01:21:09,442
but I do believe in
collective responsibility.
1316
01:21:12,284 --> 01:21:15,322
I think from the moment that
you've been in the field,
1317
01:21:15,329 --> 01:21:16,661
so to speak,
1318
01:21:16,663 --> 01:21:20,407
from the minute you've seen
a child gasping for air.
1319
01:21:20,417 --> 01:21:22,625
And in his last moments,
1320
01:21:23,587 --> 01:21:26,455
you rush home and do
what you can about it.
1321
01:21:26,465 --> 01:21:28,127
I'm Audrey Hepburn.
1322
01:21:28,133 --> 01:21:31,046
This is an urgent appeal
for the children of...
1323
01:21:40,396 --> 01:21:41,270
She was an altruist woman.
1324
01:21:41,271 --> 01:21:44,139
And she believed that
the base of everything
1325
01:21:44,149 --> 01:21:46,186
is to educate children
1326
01:21:46,193 --> 01:21:47,980
and to take care of them.
1327
01:21:48,862 --> 01:21:52,606
And she gave so much devotion to children.
1328
01:21:52,616 --> 01:21:56,860
I would go to many countries
and we would meet between
1329
01:21:56,870 --> 01:22:00,830
and she would want to know,
what did you see in Mali?
1330
01:22:00,833 --> 01:22:03,871
What did you see in Somalia?
1331
01:22:03,877 --> 01:22:06,620
So she always wanted to
know what's going on.
1332
01:22:08,132 --> 01:22:11,625
She wanted to go to Bangladesh
because she said that
1333
01:22:11,635 --> 01:22:14,594
everybody is giving up on Bangladesh
1334
01:22:14,596 --> 01:22:18,010
because they have the flood
every year during monsoon
1335
01:22:18,016 --> 01:22:19,348
and the landslides.
1336
01:22:19,351 --> 01:22:20,512
So she said,
1337
01:22:20,519 --> 01:22:24,183
those are the people I'd
like to go and support.
1338
01:22:24,189 --> 01:22:26,431
She was trying everything to involve
1339
01:22:26,442 --> 01:22:28,559
important people to their cause.
1340
01:22:40,831 --> 01:22:43,949
She showed up once in
front of the US Congress
1341
01:22:43,959 --> 01:22:48,545
asking for an additional funding
for a particular emergency
1342
01:22:48,547 --> 01:22:52,040
and got the $60 million
in one hour from them.
1343
01:22:53,385 --> 01:22:56,628
That showed how extraordinarily
powerful she still was.
1344
01:22:57,890 --> 01:23:01,179
She used her name for something good.
1345
01:23:01,185 --> 01:23:03,051
If everybody did that,
1346
01:23:03,061 --> 01:23:06,179
the world would be a little bit better.
1347
01:23:36,220 --> 01:23:39,179
She was selfless she didn't stop.
1348
01:23:39,181 --> 01:23:42,549
She just wanted to go on
and complete her mission.
1349
01:23:43,894 --> 01:23:45,851
Robert used to tell me,
1350
01:23:45,854 --> 01:23:48,096
I wish they would give some time for her
1351
01:23:48,106 --> 01:23:49,313
between this and that
1352
01:23:49,316 --> 01:23:51,433
UNICEF would say,
1353
01:23:51,443 --> 01:23:54,026
I think it'll be good
if you went to Sudan.
1354
01:23:54,029 --> 01:23:55,611
So she wanted to go.
1355
01:23:57,491 --> 01:24:00,609
And I was concerned too. And
I would ask her sometimes,
1356
01:24:00,619 --> 01:24:02,110
she said, no, no, no, I'm tough.
1357
01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:04,282
I can take it. I'll go.
1358
01:24:04,289 --> 01:24:05,289
So she went,
1359
01:24:06,625 --> 01:24:07,832
she would say,
1360
01:24:07,834 --> 01:24:12,124
sometimes I even feel
whether it's doing any good.
1361
01:24:12,130 --> 01:24:15,123
I would tell her the same
thing as a photo journalist.
1362
01:24:15,133 --> 01:24:18,126
Sometimes I wonder if
anything is happening
1363
01:24:18,136 --> 01:24:20,002
from my photographs.
1364
01:24:22,099 --> 01:24:26,343
But then each time she went
and did a promotional thing,
1365
01:24:26,353 --> 01:24:30,472
UNICEF always said they got
more than a million dollars
1366
01:24:30,482 --> 01:24:32,189
because of her appearance
1367
01:24:32,192 --> 01:24:35,310
in any of the talk shows or TV shows.
1368
01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:38,108
So that's what made her happy.
1369
01:24:38,991 --> 01:24:42,826
She joined UNICEF and five years later,
1370
01:24:42,828 --> 01:24:45,241
UNICEF had doubled in size.
1371
01:24:45,247 --> 01:24:48,615
And I don't think this had
happened before since the war.
1372
01:24:52,004 --> 01:24:55,543
Dignity and love is what
we always talked about,
1373
01:24:57,134 --> 01:25:00,127
I think she struggled to find love.
1374
01:25:00,137 --> 01:25:03,346
And I think that's probably the reason why
1375
01:25:03,348 --> 01:25:06,091
she is so emphasizes on love.
1376
01:25:07,561 --> 01:25:10,019
With all the sufferings
that she went through.
1377
01:25:10,856 --> 01:25:15,851
She missed a part of that
kind of love that she expected
1378
01:25:16,278 --> 01:25:17,519
and she wanted.
1379
01:25:17,529 --> 01:25:20,192
And that's why I think
she wants to share that
1380
01:25:20,198 --> 01:25:21,359
with the children.
1381
01:25:22,618 --> 01:25:25,031
She would always say, I love you.
1382
01:25:25,037 --> 01:25:26,949
And she will never hold back.
1383
01:25:27,998 --> 01:25:32,368
She was so compassionate about
children who are suffering.
1384
01:25:34,212 --> 01:25:37,831
She truly loved humanity.
1385
01:25:39,551 --> 01:25:43,010
Humanitarian means human welfare
1386
01:25:43,013 --> 01:25:44,595
and responding to human suffering.
1387
01:25:44,598 --> 01:25:47,261
That's finally what politics should be.
1388
01:25:49,895 --> 01:25:52,387
I think perhaps with time,
1389
01:25:52,397 --> 01:25:55,014
instead of there being a politicalization
1390
01:25:55,025 --> 01:26:00,020
of humanitarian aid, there'll
be a humanization of politics.
1391
01:26:00,072 --> 01:26:02,485
I dreamed the day that
it would be all one.
1392
01:26:07,412 --> 01:26:09,904
We cannot afford to give up.
1393
01:26:10,874 --> 01:26:12,615
We have the resources we have the time
1394
01:26:12,626 --> 01:26:14,333
and we must have the love
1395
01:26:14,336 --> 01:26:17,374
to take care of these
millions of children.
1396
01:27:01,883 --> 01:27:05,172
Well, I understood that
something was going on
1397
01:27:05,178 --> 01:27:07,261
one week in particular
1398
01:27:07,264 --> 01:27:10,132
because Audrey had a walk in the garden
1399
01:27:11,059 --> 01:27:14,143
and my father was working in the garden
1400
01:27:14,146 --> 01:27:18,106
and he ask Audrey when are
you going to come again
1401
01:27:18,108 --> 01:27:19,108
to help me?
1402
01:27:20,318 --> 01:27:21,900
And she said I will help you,
1403
01:27:21,903 --> 01:27:24,486
but never as I helped you before.
1404
01:27:24,489 --> 01:27:26,276
I will help you but differently.
1405
01:27:27,159 --> 01:27:29,993
When we were in Somalia together,
1406
01:27:29,995 --> 01:27:34,990
we were taking pills for
malaria and they make me sick.
1407
01:27:35,250 --> 01:27:36,957
So I said to Audrey,
1408
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:41,500
I think I going to give up
this Laurium because I'm sick.
1409
01:27:41,506 --> 01:27:44,044
And she said, I'm thinking myself,
1410
01:27:44,050 --> 01:27:46,417
I have a lot of pain in my stomach.
1411
01:27:46,428 --> 01:27:50,012
And I think it is the pill of malaria.
1412
01:27:50,015 --> 01:27:51,176
I give up also.
1413
01:27:52,184 --> 01:27:54,221
But it was not the malaria pills
1414
01:27:54,227 --> 01:27:57,186
that they gave her all this
pain in the stomach there.
1415
01:27:59,232 --> 01:28:02,100
She definitely
knew something was wrong
1416
01:28:02,110 --> 01:28:03,692
and she never talked about it.
1417
01:28:05,030 --> 01:28:07,363
And she kept it to herself.
1418
01:28:08,450 --> 01:28:09,691
For UNICEF,
1419
01:28:09,701 --> 01:28:12,865
I went to Sarajevo to cover a mission
1420
01:28:12,871 --> 01:28:14,578
on this city was sieged.
1421
01:28:14,581 --> 01:28:19,622
And I was there two months
without no contact with anybody
1422
01:28:20,420 --> 01:28:22,286
because we are in the siege.
1423
01:28:22,297 --> 01:28:26,917
And after two months, I got
hold of a telephone line.
1424
01:28:26,927 --> 01:28:31,046
So I call her house and,
and Giovanna answered.
1425
01:28:31,056 --> 01:28:33,389
And I say, Giovanna give me Madam.
1426
01:28:33,391 --> 01:28:38,056
And Giovanna say, Mara Senora is not here.
1427
01:28:39,314 --> 01:28:42,978
You don't know is all
over on all the press,
1428
01:28:42,984 --> 01:28:45,226
she's very sick as she is in Los Angeles.
1429
01:28:45,237 --> 01:28:47,445
I said no. I no idea.
1430
01:28:48,406 --> 01:28:52,195
Giovanna kept crying. And I was frozen.
1431
01:28:53,286 --> 01:28:58,077
So I called Robert and
he says, she has a cancer
1432
01:28:58,083 --> 01:29:01,292
and say, she's on chemo.
She said, no, no chemo.
1433
01:29:01,294 --> 01:29:03,081
So when you say no chemo,
1434
01:29:03,088 --> 01:29:06,456
I knew the situation was really bad.
1435
01:29:07,968 --> 01:29:11,132
My mother was invited to
fly with her to Switzerland
1436
01:29:11,137 --> 01:29:12,673
if she chose to.
1437
01:29:12,681 --> 01:29:15,594
But my mother said no, I'll
say goodbye to you here.
1438
01:29:16,935 --> 01:29:19,427
I want to see you leaving
with a smile on your face.
1439
01:29:20,897 --> 01:29:22,433
Between the two of them.
1440
01:29:22,440 --> 01:29:23,681
She knew it was a...
1441
01:29:25,944 --> 01:29:27,936
They would not be seeing each other again.
1442
01:29:29,072 --> 01:29:31,985
Nobody thought it was something so bad
1443
01:29:31,992 --> 01:29:33,608
and so fast.
1444
01:29:34,870 --> 01:29:37,112
She was very peaceful.
1445
01:29:37,122 --> 01:29:40,411
And usually you are afraid,
1446
01:29:40,417 --> 01:29:41,453
but she wasn't.
1447
01:29:42,377 --> 01:29:43,959
She was very sick.
1448
01:29:43,962 --> 01:29:45,874
And she asked me how I felt.
1449
01:29:47,090 --> 01:29:49,252
She had something in her heart.
1450
01:29:49,259 --> 01:29:52,047
Otherwise you don't react like this
1451
01:29:52,053 --> 01:29:54,466
in the last moments of your life.
1452
01:29:55,849 --> 01:29:57,181
She was in her bedroom
1453
01:29:58,351 --> 01:30:00,468
and we were all standing around her.
1454
01:30:02,355 --> 01:30:03,562
I gave her last kiss.
1455
01:30:05,400 --> 01:30:08,313
And this was the last time I saw her, yes.
1456
01:30:34,179 --> 01:30:39,174
My mother died January
20th, 1993 at 8:00 PM.
1457
01:30:43,063 --> 01:30:46,602
I was the one that the nurse
had left all of the knowhow
1458
01:30:46,608 --> 01:30:49,396
on how to take care of the pain medication
1459
01:30:49,402 --> 01:30:51,439
and change her dressings.
1460
01:30:53,448 --> 01:30:55,280
I would sit in the wicker chair
1461
01:30:55,283 --> 01:30:58,867
next to her bed in the
last few weeks of her life.
1462
01:31:00,455 --> 01:31:03,243
And I would sit there
and sort of doze off.
1463
01:31:03,249 --> 01:31:05,536
And then she'd wake up in
the middle of the night.
1464
01:31:06,544 --> 01:31:09,958
And we talked about those
things that mattered to her.
1465
01:31:11,591 --> 01:31:16,427
I think she always felt
throughout her life that
1466
01:31:16,429 --> 01:31:18,011
she had shortcomings.
1467
01:31:19,057 --> 01:31:21,595
She felt that the mistake is to sit there
1468
01:31:21,601 --> 01:31:25,390
and forever hold a grudge
one way or the other.
1469
01:31:26,898 --> 01:31:29,390
She had to make peace with life
1470
01:31:29,401 --> 01:31:31,063
because she didn't have a choice.
1471
01:31:32,487 --> 01:31:36,071
She often said that it was a
fortune not to have a choice
1472
01:31:36,074 --> 01:31:38,157
to have to move forward.
1473
01:31:40,453 --> 01:31:42,570
As a child, I was taught,
1474
01:31:42,580 --> 01:31:46,290
it was bad manners to draw
attention to yourself,
1475
01:31:46,292 --> 01:31:49,831
and never ever to make
a spectacle of yourself.
1476
01:31:50,922 --> 01:31:53,960
I then went on to make
a rather nice living
1477
01:31:53,967 --> 01:31:54,967
doing just that.
1478
01:31:57,345 --> 01:31:59,928
Audrey Hepburn was most
certainly revolutionary.
1479
01:32:00,932 --> 01:32:03,049
The legacy of artistry.
1480
01:32:03,059 --> 01:32:05,221
The legacy of joy,
1481
01:32:07,063 --> 01:32:09,225
She came from so much intensity.
1482
01:32:10,942 --> 01:32:14,936
She definitely stood
for something timeless
1483
01:32:14,946 --> 01:32:16,608
that I don't think will ever get old.
1484
01:32:18,616 --> 01:32:20,983
And even today, I think
she's still inspiring.
1485
01:32:20,994 --> 01:32:22,530
She's an utter icon.
1486
01:32:25,457 --> 01:32:28,040
She's everywhere all the time.
1487
01:32:28,043 --> 01:32:32,083
And so in a way, part
of her is still here.
1488
01:32:34,632 --> 01:32:35,964
Her legacy is still here.
1489
01:32:40,972 --> 01:32:44,431
She most certainly took trauma
and transmuted it into love.
1490
01:32:50,982 --> 01:32:53,099
A lot of people don't receive love
1491
01:32:53,109 --> 01:32:54,600
and they grow into being,
1492
01:32:54,611 --> 01:32:56,443
really unhappy and spiteful.
1493
01:32:59,240 --> 01:33:02,529
But I think she was so
much better at loving
1494
01:33:02,535 --> 01:33:04,618
because of it now and loving those people
1495
01:33:04,621 --> 01:33:05,862
who really need it.
1496
01:33:09,375 --> 01:33:11,332
The love she did not get,
1497
01:33:11,336 --> 01:33:16,047
she transformed into a greater
sense of giving and of love.
1498
01:33:16,049 --> 01:33:20,339
And this is, I guess, why
is she so loved to this day.
1499
01:33:25,141 --> 01:33:28,930
She's gone through difficult moments,
1500
01:33:28,937 --> 01:33:32,806
but her humanity and her way
1501
01:33:32,816 --> 01:33:36,981
of being grateful to her life.
1502
01:33:38,154 --> 01:33:41,864
She wanted to share that with others
1503
01:33:43,618 --> 01:33:45,029
and She found the way.
1504
01:33:51,876 --> 01:33:56,871
She said at one point
that the 1992 Christmas
1505
01:33:58,550 --> 01:34:01,418
was the best Christmas she ever had
1506
01:34:02,470 --> 01:34:07,465
because she said that she
was sure that we loved her.
1507
01:34:12,230 --> 01:34:15,098
She was a person who was able to love.
1508
01:34:16,985 --> 01:34:18,271
She loved very much Robert
1509
01:34:19,404 --> 01:34:21,566
and she loved her children of course.
1510
01:34:23,241 --> 01:34:25,028
And by the end of her life,
1511
01:34:26,619 --> 01:34:28,110
she loved herself.
1512
01:34:41,885 --> 01:34:46,880
At the end of her life, she
described people in the room.
1513
01:34:48,933 --> 01:34:50,601
That these were the
people on the other side
1514
01:34:50,602 --> 01:34:52,389
that were gonna take her from here.
1515
01:34:54,355 --> 01:34:55,397
She said you cannot see them
1516
01:34:55,398 --> 01:34:56,356
but they're sitting right there
1517
01:34:56,357 --> 01:34:57,599
and they're waiting for me.
1518
01:37:03,860 --> 01:37:05,027
Perhaps the most important thing
1519
01:37:05,028 --> 01:37:06,815
which I carried through life
1520
01:37:08,197 --> 01:37:10,439
is that whatever I've suffered
1521
01:37:11,951 --> 01:37:13,283
has helped me make later on.
1522
01:37:15,121 --> 01:37:17,078
And when I love, I love unconditionally.
