Waitin’ ’round the bend
by chuckofish
Today is the birthday of the lovely and talented Audrey Hepburn (1929–1993). I mean, who doesn’t love Audrey Hepburn? And if you don’t, what’s wrong with you?
Of course, she starred in one of my top-five favorite movies of all time–Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)–but I like her in anything. Indeed, she is like John Wayne in that she makes even an average movie worth watching.
She only made 20 American movies and they weren’t all Breakfast at Tiffany’s. But some of them are pretty darn good:
The Unforgiven (1960)
Charade (1963)
Paris When It Sizzles (1964)
How to Steal a Million (1966)
I prefer her movies from the 1960s. The movies she made in the 1950s–when she was in her 20s–frequently match her with co-stars who are old enough to be her father. Think Humphrey Bogart, Gary Cooper, Fred Astaire–kind of creepy, don’t you think? What were they thinking?
Anyway, it’s a no-brainer what to watch tonight while toasting the wonderful Audrey.
Any one of her films will do (even those ones from the 1950s!) What’s your favorite Audrey Hepburn movie?

A no-brainer indeed! Did Mary tell you about Nate’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s answer for the bachelorette quiz?
No…what was it?
Breakfast at Tiffany’s of course! But Charade and the others you mention are right up there. I also have a place in my heart for Wait Until Dark.
I know, me too–it still makes me shriek with surprise every time!
I asked What is Susie’s favorite movie? And his reply was Breakfast at Tiffany’s–FOR THE RIGHT REASONS!!! Idiots!!
In the game, to be clear, these were written answere
I just watched Charade recently. It’s so good. I’m kinda in the mood for Paris When it Sizzles, at least the first hour 😉
