This is a touching story of a young woman's desire and eagerness to become the best at whatever she did, and as she did so, she became a famous movie star.
Aside from the seemingly fake accent and air of pomposity that she carried around throughout the show, Jennifer Love Hewitt seemed well cast as Audrey Hepburn, I could replace her face with Ms Hepburn's and everything would fit nicely. Her grace and style seemed to match what I know of Ms Hepburn, which isn't a lot, but probably sufficient enough to appreciate it.
Emmy Rossum also did a good job as the young Audrey Hepburn, playing the frail but strong-willed young girl who was driven to become an accomplished dancer.
Two things kept nagging at me: the show seemed to point out that Ms Hepburn's life revolved around her desire to be reunited with her father, and that all she wanted in life was to have babies and if the man couldn't provide, he was off her list. These 2 things seem to remove some of the charm but were probably added to make her a more real person, but unfortunately they were done in a fake manner which made me a bit put off.
But overall, a lovely show that makes me want to watch it again and every Audrey Hepburn movie.
