I was just browsing through our movie posters the other day and came across some truly stunning images of Audrey Hepburn (May 4, 1929–January 20, 1993) . What a beauty she was -- inside and out! And what talent. She's one of my mother's favorite actresses.
Have you seen her in Breakfast at Tiffany's? The 1961 Academy Award-winning film was based on the novella by Truman Capote, and in it, Hepburn was at her most delightful, elegant and memorable. In the film, Hepburn played the role of Holly Golightly, a wacky, lackadaisical New York City socialite. The actress won hearts worldwide for that film, and to this day, both Hepburn and Holly Golightly remain powerful icons for style, poise, grace and quirky, off-beat charm.
If you're a fan of Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Audrey Hepburn in particular, you can easily add classic Old Hollywood glamour to your decor with a few images from our movie collection. Like this one:
This black & white photography portrait of Hepburn is another beauty:
Somehow, it seems fitting to end today's posting with this quote from Audrey Hepburn herself:
For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
- Audrey Hepburn
Until next week!
