The Audrey Hepburn Story (2000 TV Movie)
7/10
Jennifer Love Hewitt was well cast!
5 April 2000
Jennifer Love Hewitt (I Know What You Did Last Summer), one of the producers, cast herself as Audrey Hepburn. At first I did not think that she was the one to play Ms. Hepburn, then as the movie progressed I realized that she was well cast. She did the part really well. "Ella Hepburn" was a nice single parent played by Frances Fisher (I) (Titanic) well known by the audience. Eric McCormack (Will & Grace) was great playing Mel Ferrer the famous producer whom Audrey Hepburn married. He had a vast diversity of work as a producer, actor, director. We can find movies and television series such as: (El Greco, Falcon Crest (television series), War and Peace. I could never have guessed that he was directing Falcon Crest. I never had realized it until now that he was born in the U.S. either, I always thought that he was from somewhere in Europe. "Joseph Hepburn" Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey) was a man that should never have been a parent. He was a very strange man. The movie raises the issue of how important it is for all of us to have the love and support of our parents. She kept trying to establish a relationship with him, but never succeeded. A terrible situation. Over all the movie was a well-done movie for television. I liked the fact that although she had a dysfunctional family Audrey lead a quite normal life with very solid moral values. I always loved Audrey Hepburn and I will always miss her. My favorite scene: While filming the breakfast scene for "Breakfast at Tiffany, " she had problems eating the pastry. That shows that she was in such a good shape because she did not indulge in sweets since she was a child. I enjoyed the movie. Way to go Jennifer, I like the fact that you are already producing.
