Product Description:
Experience the struggles triumphs and tender romances of beloved screen star Audrey Hepburn in this drama starring Jennifer Love Hewitt (I Know What You Did Last Summer Can't Hardly Wait). The gamine beauty's rise to fame seemed like a fairy tale but her childhood was filled with pain: from the estranged father whose love she desperately sought to her turbulent upbringing in Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II. Despite her past Hepburn's grace and charm made her destined for stardom with one memorable performance (her Oscar®-winning role in Roman Holiday Best Actress-1953) leading to others (Sabrina Breakfast At Tiffany's My Fair Lady). Filled with heart-felt performances by Hewitt and co-stars Frances Fisher (Titanic) and Eric McCormack (TV's "Will & Grace") this captivating bio-pic is a loving tribute to a true legend.System Requirements:Running Time: 133 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: PG UPC: 043396047242 Manufacturer No: 04724

Jennifer Love Hewitt is a beautiful and talented actress with style and charm. She is not, however, Audrey Hepburn, and try as she might, she is unable to embody the gamine actress in the made-for-television biopic The Audrey Hepburn Story.
Making the Hepburn bio was a gusty move for Hewitt, and one has to admire her chutzpah. But the role, if it was to be dared, would have been better off in the hands of an unknown. As it is, it's difficult to shake the image of Hewitt in her television and teen roles, and while she mastered the wide-eyed look, her eyes are not doelike enough and her accent borders on ludicrous. If you can move past this, though, the story of Hepburn's life--even given her do-gooder qualities--is interesting fodder for exploration, although at times the script feels as if it's trying to create tension where there is little. Desertion by her father, a brief stint in the resistance in wartime Netherlands, and affairs with fellow actors create drama, but not enough to enliven the film. Part of the problem is the entire film is told from flashback from the set of Breakfast at Tiffany's, so much of Hepburn's great work is left untouched.
Yet, despite the flaws, fans will appreciate the paean to Hepburn, as we glimpse into the difficulties of her early career and her budding stardom. The two girls who play the childhood Hepburn excel in their roles, and the strong supporting cast--including Frances Fisher as her mother and Eric McCormack as Mel Ferrer--brighten the film, which ultimately brings a touch of Hepburn's elegance to our own humdrum lives. --Jenny Brown

Being a fan of Audrey Hepburn, this movie was perfect. She did a great job playing Audrey.

I found this film and especially the performance of its lead actor Hewett to be absolutely enchanting. Born in 1960, I grew up with an awareness of Audrey Hepburn, but this TV tribute truly introduced me to the magic of the star. I commend Jennifer Love Hewitt on her performance and thank her for reacquinting me with Audrey. I've recently ordered 8 of the classic Hepburn movies so that I might truly experience the beautiful actress and fascinating culture of her days (and, later, mine). For me, ... Read More

I learned a lot about Audrey Hepburn's childhood that I had never realized before. Beginning in WWII brought the story home and made it real.

Jennifer Love Hewitt clearly loves her subject and treated this story like the Tiffany diamond that is Audrey Hepburn. Kudos!

JLH did a terrible job at portraying Audrey Hepburn. She seemed depressed most of the time and the insecurity depiction was too much. JLH looks NOTHING like Miss Hepburn so I don't konw why she was given that part. She does not have the elegance or the grace of Miss Hepburn, and she did this head shaking thing waay too much. Her accent was off most of the time, and her singing (although it's good) sounded nothing like Miss Hepburn. They should have played a recording instead! Overall, I was disappointed ... Read More
