She moved like a princess, she spoke like a queen, she acted like an angel.
She was a beautiful butterfly
That's because she was a princess.
She was timeless. Her voice, her eyes, her spirit remained so young.
also her smile
She inspires me so often. Her spirit ripples through time as a magnificent example ♡
Voice was old here
@@tamaraMelek Yes, it aged beautifully!
She's a taurus. Katherine heoburn all the actresses are taurues. Im a tauruses people say do I ever age. Gift. We love positive and beautiful things
Even in her older years, she was so beautiful.
Remember she was only 63 when she died, I think the only reason she looked “older” at all the last 6 yrs or so is because she was beginning to get sick.
Well, she was 52 years old here. But probably not healthy. Certainly we lost an angel when she passed away. A beautiful spirit!
@@MTknitter22 , she smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day. Unfortunately it ages you and contributes to cancer.
to say she's beautiful "even" in her older years is sad and unfair imo; old people are beautiful, too. beauty isn't wrinkleless skin.
@@PeachPlastic Wrong
The most elegant actress of all time!!!
Audrey Hepburn has style and sincere charm. her speech brought me to tears. Beauty inside and out.
I have always liked Cary Grant as well. He has class and looks.
One of the Greatest. Grace Kelly and Ingrid Bergman same league, maybe better.
Yes she is
Audrey, Joan Crawford y Elizabeth Taylor 🧡
This spectacular woman knew exactly what she was doing. The bow at the end, the way she walked off the stage and blew a final kiss...totally in control, and perfect.
Thomas Kostoff : I love the speech and specifically, the bow at the end! Audrey was one classy Hollywood actress. Actresses of today have much to learn from her.
@@cynthiaarons9373 Ms Cynthia Arons, I agree only if today's actress wanted feminine class.
Today the female, most in movie industry, wants to project selfish feminist woke ideals.
Audry Hepburn was a hero before she made her first movie.
WMS 1 the problem is that "feminist" ideals are often misguided because they come from a place of victimhood. I see Audrey as far more a "feminist" than young actresses of today because she was empowered just as a human without the need for labels. There was no whinging on inequality and no using sex and sexuality to gain advantage. She was just coming from a place of Self and great Presence. If you observe, any stars - male or female - who use their sex and sexuality to project a persona always end up badly and are remembered not in the same way. If you want to be timeless and honoured like Audrey, then cultivate that which goes beyond the physical (body, mental, energetic). What resonates form Audrey is something of the spirit and that's why we love her.
@@stmichl9433 yes, a true good feminist, Audrey was. She was an angel and a brave girl during the war. I just soo hope that there are still women today that are real and good feminists like her...
Its was style not what we have now in Hollywood
How can a woman in her fifties look this amazing? Her physical beauty was a mere reflection of the beauty of her soul. RIP my love
So you think as the old Ancient Greek saying that beauty is a reflection of One's soul. In her case right, but in many others. Nope!!!!
@@ylabea not Sarah Palin sorry 😂😂🤣🤣😆
Nature Wins no botox!
@@ylabea Not the way she was
indeed she is beautiful inside out
Two actors who defined grace, class, dignity, and style. Audrey and Cary. Both at the apex of their chosen profession.
It was wonderful to see them together in Charade
Totally agreed !!! Love both of them!! But especially Cary Grant!! R.I.P.!!
He was a bender though, yes?
And both English.
@@Mariejools
America gave them their success.
When stars were stars!! Stunning Audrey!!
Այո՛ :
Audrey Hepburn is the embodiment of class and elegance.
Simply gorgeous to the end ❤❤❤
Forget any other award; having Audrey Hepburn speak on your professional behalf would be more than enough to last a lifetime!
Grace a real lady x
She had his tears flowing but then again mine were too. The epitome of beauty and grace with class, Audrey Hepburn.
It is obvious that Audrey Hepburn moved Cary Grant that singular evening more than anyone else... ever could. Look at his heart leap into his eyes at the very sight of her. Magic. Her words too are so beauteous that Cary Grant's tears become our own. He is a prince of an actor receiving his crowning glory.
I don't buy Hollywood's phoney display of emotion these days but this one seems pretty genuine indeed.
Grace Kelly.
Your words have captured this moment beautifully.
Vivirá eternamente su estilo no se apagara. Femenina y muy elegante.
@mckavitt13 you are an incredible writer. i wish i could read other things you have written.
Everything about her was beautiful and kind, her look, her voice, her presence. What a classy woman!!!
She's so beautiful and very regal ❤️
Even the beautiful must take a colon test.
Bucky Brown as they say about 'money can't buy happiness' at least the rich can cry more comfortably..
She may have had taken the test but with more grace and more beautifully than others, for sure.
She's of Nobility. Terrific Actress. Beautiful...& Has Such A Lovely Voice & Impeccible Diction. 1 Of A Kind. Love Audrey.💫❤💫
I thought she died from stomach cancer Bucky Brown.
Back in the old days 1950s, 1960s woman had style and were more "feminine" , she was not that special. Audrey Hepburn suffer from malnutrition , she ate mostly pasta and sweets, and ate very little ( A starving diet ) and smoked "three packs cigarets" a day ! and drank alcohol , from her unhealthy lifestyle died from Appendix cancer , people who have unhealthy Appendix its from eating a high refine carb diet lots of sweets, baking goods .She also suffered 5 miscarriages.All her kids and grandchildren are ugly or less than average looking . If she gained weight she would be just everage woman ! too much hype ! every one who gains weight gets ugly even if you are born with good looks ! She manage to stay thin and slim all her life but she paid the price at the end . Nobody lives forever we will all die one day .....people who are lucky to be born beautiful .................. are not Gods !
She seems so comfortable with herself. Very confident. Genuine.
If all the world’s a stage
And all the men and women merely players
Then here’s a very special player
Who’s also been our friend
For what is friendship
Is not a willingness to give
To give laughter when there were tears
Comfort when there were fears
Pleasure fantasy and fun
When there is none.
For young and old
To create a world
They may never see
People with characters and
clowns/crowns they would never be
A friend who brings to our lives often stark
Brightness and cheer sweeping away thoughts
sorrowful and dark
Giving us strength to face each day
And come what may
We know he would be there
To help us bear
Our lives as if it were a play
So thank you Cary
For giving joy across the years
To those who need
In times of selfishness and greed
And start to hang their dreams on
And before I am gone
In gratitude and love I end
You have truly been a friend
i am not a native speaker of English, sorry. haha, which is why i need your help!
How beautiful this is and more transcendent coming from the lovely Audrey Hepburn.
艺术人生: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WRITING ALL THIS DOWN!!!! ♥️ and you did a GREAT JOB!!!!! ✨🌟 🧡❤️😬🤓😎🥰🙂😃 Thank you!!! & thank you so much Cary for alllll the laughter , joy and tears & MANY fabulous movies...!! Xoxo 😘 💜 💞🤩 🎞 🎥 🌇 🌃🏛
Awww that is so beautiful♥️
Audrey Hepburn just quoted one of Shakespear's most iconic lines.. I love this woman...
She was what I say...pure class 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I'm not crying just because my fave actress just gave a beautiful speech to my fave actor. It's just onions I swear.
It's a wonderful feeling. Enjoy it. I also felt it.
The myth , the legend, the best actress ever
That ‘Charade’ theme was the perfect accompaniment to her majestic entrance.
We just don't get to see star like Audreay anymore in Hollywood
Honestly I don’t think there is a single person in Audreys time or this time that could ever say a single bad word about her. She was an absolute gem! I wish her legacy and elegance stayed through this era and I wish young girls today would look at Audrey as a role model and not the kardashians and Instagram girls.
I admire her grace so much, her kindness and thrive for living. She lived through absolute horrors and still found joy and positivity and saw the better outcome. I’m so sad I didn’t get to grow up with her but you best bet my future children will be raised on her movies and they will know who she is and look to her as a role model. RIP Audrey, you’re sorely missed by everyone and those in the future.
Audrey Hepburn is still inspiring the biggest stars of today and so many young girls are trying to emulate her style even in this generation. She was legendary.
The most graceful woman in the movie history :) It's like she's a mix of harmony and grace... the way she moves and
the way talks... She was an amazing woman!
Glory to God!
2:18 i have never seen any actresses bowed like that. Overflowing of humbleness
I don't know why I cry looking at how loving a person can be...
She wrote him a poem. What a dear sign of love and respect♡
Cary Grant was probably the most impeccably dressed star I've ever seen. Audrey was simply sublime in Roman Holiday!
Aww she brought him to tears! 😭😭 idk why I love this clip so much...no I’m not crying....
We just don't have actors/actress's like this anymore and it makes me sad.
A Queen, a lady, an actress and a beautiful humanitarian that left the world wanting more of her splendor!
Magnifique femme
France 2020.
Ohhhh he cried.. love that he got so emotional by her wonderful speech
OMG... seeing Rex Harrison, Audrey, and Cary Grant on the same program nearly made my heart explode with love, and gratitude. God bless them, everyone.
There was James Stewart in audience
Oh God.. What an angel! I'm only 26 but i've seen all her movies and i love her so much! She had something special..
Take a good look, Because you will never see another actress quite like her, there will never be another Audrey Hepburn
my Gosh, she takes my breath away, she is so unbelievably beautiful, my all time favourite actress.
HER VOICE REMAINED YOUNG. IS AN ANGEL'S VOICE.. AUDREY IS UNIQUE!!!
she’s the definition of PERFECTION
Her voice is like a angel.... Her eyes are full of beautiful spirits
Cary was really moved by the lovely and affectionate words told by Audrey. These two magnificent people whome they've cheered up our life. Audrey is pure elegance, her smile is full of light. Cary is the best actor ever, so stylish and always ahead of his time. Love Audrey, love Cary and love Grace my royal princess star who embodied perfection.
Wow! I really loved her move at 2:18. She did it with such ease and elegance.
Jo Stockton that's the move I use when I meet chicks, works 60% of the time every time
Ballet training: the grande reverance.
When things were rough for her in London she used to train to become a ballerina. That dream was broken because of her physical condition and a life long struggle with anorexia...
@@theogoldberg8919 Her son, Luca published a book with all her favourite homemade recipes ( Italian pastas etc.) She was a pasta and chocolate lover and maintained a healthy relationship with food throughout her entire life... It does not sound anorexic to me. Yes, she was the type of person who in more stressful times just can't eat that much. She was also a chainsmoker and cigarettes are known to suppress appetite. Even though these factors are not healthy and may have contributed to her death but they don't neccessarily refer to a metal illness! So please next time search for authentic source of information before spreading myths and biased rumours.
@@jostockton3291 maybe anorexia is not the correct word but it's correct in some way. she had trouble gaining weight all her life due to malnutrition that she suffered as a young woman during the war .
The most elegant, regal, stylish actress known to us.
This is THE speech: true, simple, sincere and elegant....as always with Mrs Audrey Hepburn. I thank my parents for making me know and appreciate these true talents, as Rex Harrison, Cary Grant.... nowadays, we have celebrities... but do they really know the meaning of being classy?
Most of them... But not all....
My God, what an amazing woman. That extraordinarily beautiful, expressive face. That elegant curtsy at the end. Cary was moved to tears...as was I.
From one class act to another! You will never have such great actors in Hollywood again! Grant & Hepburn! ❤️
when you utter the words, class and beauty, she invents the terms, embodies them -
She was a Countess
I been in love with Audrey for years. At 1:48 she actually made Cary cry a little.
Seeing this breaks my heart. When I was much younger, I looked up to these actors, enjoyed their movies and appearances on TV. But now I'm old, and they are long gone.
I wasn’t even born when Audrey was around, never got the opportunity to say that I was alive when she was. For some reason that hurts, from seeing how such a rare creature she was being reduced to mere pictures and videos for me to look back on. But I know I’ll get to see her one day, for I feel like she’s a mother and raised me. 💗
@@SuicideboysGrey59 Idyllic.. you know her; you will see her.
Let’s hope someone in the new generation will bring class back
HOW MUCH I LOVE THAT WOMAN EVEN IF I NEVER PERSONALLY KNEW HER. REAL WOMAN, REAL BEAUTY, REAL ATTITUDE, REAL PERSONALITY, REAL MANNERS, REAL HEART! ONLY FEW ARE LIKE YOU TODAY AUDREY! GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL AND ASK GOD IF I EVER COME IN HEAVEN TO LET ME SEE YOU TOO.
WITH LOVE AND GRATITUDE, ANTONIOS.
SUCH A CLASSY LADY WITH A STYLE ALL HER OWN !!!!!!!
Audrey was a beautiful classy woman whom Cary Grant adored
Her passion for life shines through, with the way she speaks and carry herself.
She makes all modern actresses like a joke..
Why?
Such beauty and grace
Agreed. She did it without using 4 letter words or degrading anyone else. She had class and the ones today act like trash.
She/he was still putting a performance.
True that
Such class, such grace...
that dame had class, that ain't no dame that's audrey hepburn...
Wow! was said already but it deserves repeating. Such class and beauty!
I sat across from the table where Cary Grant at with his wife in 81! It was at La Veranda. I was so excited I almost choked on my onion soup. Seeing them here... Can't believe how time has flown.
Two Beautiful People ❤❤
My God she's beautiful graceful and stylish I love and respect Audrey ❤❤she's a true lady❤❤who helped children in need💐
Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart and Rex Harrison in the same room. Jeez!! All my favorite Actors. Wish Angrid Bergman was there, and it's complete.
... and William Holden.
Levia,you defined all so well I am astonished.Audrey's heart was made of pure gold.The childlike beauty always shined on her face.Great incarnation.
Ingrid Bergman was exceptionally beautiful,innocent and lovely.A graceful lady indeed.God knows where she is now.
All full of class & wonderful actresses and actors. We donot have today!
When hollywood was graceful
Absolutely gorgeous, both of them. ❤
Two of my favorite people..all time..Hepburn and Grant.
Cary and Audrey.....Audrey and Cary....more is not possible
We should all be so blessed to have friends speak such kind words on our behalf. THAT is a life well lived!
Lovely, Charming and Elegant Audrey 💞 and oh I love Charade and Cary Grant 💝
What would I give to have received a hug like that from Audrey Hepburn
Man....
OMG, Cary Grant, Audrey, Jimmy Stewart, my goodness there were some amazing and talented stars in those days
One of the most stunning women of all time, when GOD made her he was unfair to others.
Ohmygod, she's a true meaning of beauty and elegance!
A queen quoting Shakespeare 😍
A true class act. We have no classy actors like this .
i dont think anyone has ever captured why i love Cary Grant so much as truly as Audrey Hepburn does here... a star to hang my dreams on, truly.
♥️♥️♥️
If I could be reborn again I want to be Audrey Hepburn. Her elegance, grace, kindness, beauty and intelligence, she's a real icon.
OMG.. I've died and gone to heaven. I so wanted to see the Cary Grant Kennedy center honors for years..finally got to see the part with Audrey. Hope I get to see the full tribute one day.
These old programs were the glory days of the Kennedy Center Honors IMO.
Very fine words, beautifully and radiantly spoken. And what a lovely, dramatic, classy yet humbling curtsey at the end.
I Love Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn❤️I wish they would have married.
Both so beautiful and classy💕
This was really touching and moving.
It seems like they were very fond of each other.
Sometimes marriage spoils a beautiful relationship.. friendship lasts more . Friends don't file divorce.
Although I agree with Sun Moon(and boy are they speaking the truth), I can't help but feel the way you do, Jennifer!
They were so beautiful, classy, and were very fond of each other. Every time I would see them together or a part, I'd think, "In another life they'd probably of made each other very happy... ".
(I'd always thought that his last wife, Barbara, looked a bit like her. Just bone-structured wise).
She should have got a princes title. Princes Beatrice of York is nothing but a commoner when it comes to her mannerisms and the conversation. But Audrey Hepburn is a true English princes. Please like if you agree
natia natia true, I would just say she's a Princess of the World👸
I've never thought of her as British. She was born in Belgium and chose to live in America and then Switzerland. So she spent some childhood years in Britain during the turbulent war years in Europe, but this seemed to be out of necessity and safety rather than by personal choice. She never chose to live there as an adult, preferring America and Switzerland.
AMEN !!!!!!
Hello natia natia! How are you? I agree, partially, with you but... MISS AUDREY HEPBURN DO NOT NEED TO BE AN english princess. SHE WAS A BARONESS FROM HER MOTHER FAMILY. Her mother was Ella Van Heemstra, daughter of Baron Aarnoud Van Heemstra. The family Van Heemstra is of frisian origin and began in 1492. Since the XIX century, the family was integrated in the Kingdom of Netherlands.
The name adopted by Miss Hepburn during the 2ª World War, when she lived in Netherlands with her mother, was EDDA VAN HEEMSTRA. And why? Because her english name was a problem during the Nazi occupation... Perhaps, because she saw the HORRORS of the war, SHE BECAME SUCH AN ADORABLE PERSON until the end of her life, don't you agree? BYE-BYE AND STAY WELL!
@@helenaville5939 3 very special British actors in 1 video. Cary Grant was born in Bristol. I think their British link kept Cary and Audrey closely linked
Ms. Hepburn enchanted us with her beauty, talent, elegance, class & poise. When she began to grow older, she did not rush in fear to a cosmetic surgeon. She lived her life, devoted herself to helping others & gave us the great pleasure of seeing that the lines of age only made her more beautiful & more enchanting. There is only one thing about Ms. Hepburn that made me unhappy -- she left this world much too soon. We will never see her kind of beauty, glamour, style & elegance again. But, we have her wonderful films & videos like this one to remind us of how a great star & great beauty looked & acted. Even Cary Grant, a legendary star himself, was moved & thrilled by her appearance. Her final curtsy & blown kiss was perfection. It was wonderful to see this again!
In Audrey’s autobiography she said that during WW2 that her family was so poor that her mother baked a loaf of mud and grass to eat. When the American soldiers came to liberate their area the soldiers gave the kids chocolate and until the day she died she ate a small piece of chocolate everyday.
It wasn't about being poor. There simply wasn't any food available. Only farmers had food.
She was a stunning beauty in all stages of her life. Pure class.
Audrey H is CLASS personified, exception BEAUTY, and above all a true humanitarian. Not one female actor possesses all the traits that Audrey H embodied! She was a gift to all of us!!
Wow she truly looked beautiful here.
God she’s stunning...😍
This was really magic, I almost cry watching Grant being so moved by Audrey's words to him.
The beautiful in her smile, eyes and her soul..lovely...
Feel so emotional when I watch this. Rex Harrison Carey Grant and the most beautiful lady ever to have hit the big screen.
Elegancia, clase, estilo, belleza, bondad y dulzura en una misma persona. El ángel de Hollywood!
What can I say? There are no words to describe this Angel...
She was just perfect....
Mrs. Hepburn was true class and the definition of beauty. She embraced Her craft with Humility and Grace. Never to be replaced. This is why I make my children and Grandchildren watch the Turner Classic Movies. Loved Cary Grant.
she just knocked me out with this. timeless, classic, graceful, warm... stunning.
She needs no light to look so luminous ! That light comes from within.
Her smile. My day its better now
Never have I ever heard such a genuinely graceful and heartfelt speech in order to honour a fellow colleague and a friend.They simply do not make like them any more both Audrey and Caryare not only missed now but also they would be missed the future generations of the cine enthusiasts.
In france,we love so much Audrey Hepburn...merci Madame
I love her, RIP audrey hepburn
One and only, so talented and beautiful. Missed her 😪
She truly broke the mold. The most classic and elegant of them all. And Carry Grant too. Love how overjoyed he was at seeing her and the tears that came to him at the end. ❤️
👋 BOTH ADORABLE .
My favorite actress she was so beautiful
This is so beautiful and touching. And there's no one like Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant, how much grace and elegance, they do not even look like real people, but enchanted creatures from a fairy tale!
My god. The way she speaks. I could die
