The Audrey Hepburn Children's Foundation

73 Upvotes

The Audrey Hepburn subreddit has been around for over a year now and I'm a little ashamed as a moderator that it's taken us this long to add a link in the sidebar to her Children's Fund. The fund was set up in 1994 (Audrey passed in 1993) by her sons to continue her legacy and honor the work she did as a humanitarian throughout her life.

The money donated to the fund goes to help a wide variety of organizations around the world that all have one thing in common, helping children in need.

The image in the sidebar is based on this high res photo

Here is the high res cut-out version I made:

Anyone have an Audrey Hepburn film as their favorite film growing up?

19 Upvotes

Currently working on a book, and I have one character whose favorite film is Roman Holiday. While the story takes place in the mid-90’s, I decided not to go for the more popular Princess Bride, and felt there was something very innocently-romantic and charming about this film that might be appealing.

The one character even wishes one day to travel to Rome to see the places in the film.

She was a mother, a sister, a friend to all. As if that's not enough, she was a fount of refreshing wisdom in this conceited and selfish world. Perhaps she knew how it was to be in need, whose security was threatened and when everything else was scarce—even hope. I will always love her 🥹🫶🏼

Paparazzi picture of Audrey Hepburn

Hi everyone! So I stumbled across a paparazzi picture of Audrey Hepburn in an old magazine. Since I had never seen it before, I thought I might share it.

I'm pretty sure it's from 1959. Photo caption reads: Mel Ferrer and Audrey Hepburn have unexpectedly arrived in Montreux to spend a few days looking for a castle where they can film a movie. Here we see the couple after a tennis match.

Hope you like it!

I profiled Audrey’s story on my podcast Stars of the Golden Age a while back, and it remains one of my favorite stories of the over 100 I’ve done now. I hope I did her amazing story justice!
