Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany’s (There’s Iconic, then There’s ICONIC)

November 12, 2020 By Joi Leave a Comment

Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany'sAudrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Audrey Hepburn’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s isn’t just a highly entertaining film, it’s absolutely iconic. It may be the Audrey fanatic in me speaking, but I don’t (for a minute) think the film would be as iconic and legendary as it is with any other actress in the role.

It and Audrey were a match made in cinematic Heaven.

The 1961 film was directed by Blake Edwards and co-starred George Peppard, Patricia Neal, and Buddy Ebsen.

You can find Breakfast at Tiffany’s on DVD (Amazon link to the dvd) or watch on Prime Video.

Audrey Hepburn and Peter O’Toole, How to Steal a Million

August 10, 2020 By Joi Leave a Comment

Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole, How to Steal a Million

Audrey Hepburn and Peter O’Toole, How to Steal a Million

I love a great comedy – I mean, really, there’s nothing quite like sitting back and and losing yourself in fun and laughter. How to Steal a Million definitely qualifies as a great comedy. Peter O’Toole, Audrey Hepburn, and Eli Wallach embraced their roles and the laughs just come one after the other.

It’s what I call “smart comedy,” as opposed to “mindless comedy.” Mindless comedy, to me, is when a film is basically comprised of funny bits and funny moments – kind of like a patchwork quilt. Whether or not they lead to a cohesive picture isn’t their aim… lots of laughs is their only goal.

A “smart comedy,” on the other hand, is one where there are lots of laughs, but they’re woven into the story… part of the fabric that makes the bigger picture. How to Steal a Million has a wonderful plot, great dialogue, and something else “mindless comedies” usually don’t worry about…. interesting, multi-layered characters. When a film allows you to get to know the characters and actually care about what they like and dislike, you’re game to follow them wherever they want to take you.

Audrey Hepburn and Peter O’Toole make you want to follow them to the ends of the earth and back!

If you’ve never seen How to Steal a Million, I hope you’ll watch it really soon. I know that a lot of Old Hollywood fans have a certain date is their cut-off – kind of a film watching expiration date! In fact, I know many who simply don’t watch anything past 1950… and a few who use color as their cut off. If a movie is in color, they aren’t interested!

To each their own, of course, but the 50s and 60s sure have a lot of wonderful movies they’re missing out on and this is definitely one of them.

You can buy How to Steal a Million (link to the dvd on Amazon) or watch it on Prime. This is one of those delicious movies that’s even better than you’d dared to expect.

Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany’s Promotional Pictures

Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's
Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Whenever I’ve had an exceptionally busy or hectic day or feel a bit under the weather, I try to pop in a dvd of a favorite movie (or a film with a favorite star). Sometimes, I only have time to play a few favorite scenes.

This was the case, today. I was feeling MISERABLE from seasonal allergies… along with the zombie effect of the allergy medicine…. and just needed a little pick me up. My brain (even heavily numbed by all the Benadryl I’ve been consuming) knew exactly what I needed… Audrey Hepburn!

I didn’t have time for a full movie, so I just watched a few of my favorite scenes from Breakfast at Tiffany’s (Amazon DVD link). She acts like a tonic for me and I immediately felt better.

Sigh. She really was something special, wasn’t she?

One of the cutest, funnest movies I’ve ever seen (and loved) is How to Steal a Million starring the incomparable stars Audrey Hepburn and Peter O’Toole. They are so vibrant and colorful in this wonderful film that I wish everyone in the world would watch it all together in a giant movie-watching party.

What a party it’d be… and we’d all be better off for it!

(Continued Below the Greatness….)

How to Steal a Million also stars Hugh Griffith, Charles Boyer, and Eli Wallach. It was directed by the wonderful William Wyler who also directed Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday.

If you’ve never seen How to Steal a Million (Amazon dvd link) – or you’ve seen it but it’s been a while… you have to watch this exceptional film as soon as possible. For the entire duration of the film, all will be right in your world.

Who couldn’t use more of that right now?

Audrey Hepburn, “Sabrina” Behind the Scenes Photos

I’m sure I’ve mentioned it on Hollywood Yesterday before, but Behind the Scenes photos are something of an obsession of mine. I can’t put my finger on it, but there is just something about them that sends me over the moon and all around the galaxy.

(Continued below Audrey Hepburn’s loveliness)

These behind the scenes photos are from one of my absolute favorite movies ever, 1954’s Sabrina (Amazon link) further drive home just how lovely and graceful Audrey Hepburn was.

As if any of us needed a reminder!

Audrey Hepburn: Audrey Always Makes a Beautiful Picture of the Day

January 17, 2020 By Joi Leave a Comment

Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn

Every now and then I like to remind my readers that the pictures of the day on Hollywood Yesterday don’t come with a lot of content – as in, I don’t blab on and on and on about a picture you can clearly see for yourself!

Whether it’s food blogs or Old Hollywood blogs, a lot of the writers will talk incessantly (while “keyword stuffing”) to rank higher in search engines. While this is all fine and good – I tend to think of my readers and guests first and foremost (on my food blog, Old Hollywood blog… in fact, ALL of my blogs). I want your visit to be fun, so I try to keep things plain and simple…. short and sweet.

All I have to say about the picture above is this: She was gifted with one of the most beautiful and fascinating faces EVER! What an absolute doll.

Audrey Hepburn: Too Beautiful for Words!

How can you manage to be both lovely and adorable at the same time – while pretending to yawn no less!? I’m halfway positive it’s a feat only Audrey Hepburn could pull off.

I have always loved this particular photo of Audrey. In fact, I think I love it MORE each time I see it. It’s a promotional pic for her wonderful film with Gregory Peck, Roman Holiday (Amazon DVD link).

These behind the scenes photos of Audrey Hepburn are from one of my personal favorite films, 1954’s Sabrina (Amazon link). Audrey has long been one of my favorite actresses, while Humphrey Bogart has long been one of my favorite actors. How am I NOT going to be head over heels in love with a movie they made together?!?

Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck - Roman Holiday, Behind the Scenes

Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck 

Roman Holiday (Amazon DVD link) is such a wonderful, fun, beautifully written and perfectly-acted movie that it almost defies description. If the ending had not gotten on my bad side (sorry, I am the biggest sucker for happy endings in the world), it would be one of my top 3 favorite movies. As it is… making the top 10 will have to suffice!

I love this picture of Audrey and Gregory Peck, behind the scenes. He was (like most people) crazy about Audrey Hepburn and said everyone on the set fell in love with her.

How could they not?!!

Wonderful Audrey Hepburn Movie Collection with HD Remastering

September 20, 2019 By Joi Leave a Comment

I was on Amazon earlier (takes a sip of truth serum… I’m always on Amazon), looking for a particular Audrey Hepburn Biography when this collection caught both eyes.

The Audrey Hepburn Collection (HD Remastering) includes Audrey’s five of her best movies… I’d also throw in Charade:

Breakfast At Tiffany’s (Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard, Patricia Neal, Buddy Ebsen)
Struggling writer Paul Varjak moves into a New York apartment building and becomes intrigued by his pretty, quirky neighbor Holly Golightly. Holly’s lifestyle confuses and fascinates Paul; in public she flits through parties with a sexy, sophisticated air, but when they’re alone she changes into a sweetly vulnerable bundle of neuroses.

Funny Face (Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire)
An impromptu fashion shoot at a bookstore brings about a new fashion model discovery in the shop clerk.

Roman Holiday (Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck, Eddie Albert)
A young princess, tired of the constraints her position brings, runs away. She does not know the man who befriends her is a reporter out for her story.

War And Peace (Audrey Hepburn, Henry Fonda, Mel Ferrer)
By 1812, Napoleon’s forces controlled much of Europe. Russia, one of the few countries still unconquered, prepares to face Napoleon’s troops together with Austria. Among the soldiers are Count Nicolas Rostov and Prince Andrei Bolkonsky. Count Pierre Bezukhov, a friend of Andrei’s and self-styled intellectual who is not interested in fighting. Pierre’s life changes when his father dies, leaving him a vast inheritance.

Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, William Holden)
Bogie and Holden are the mega-rich Larrabee brothers of Long Island. Bogie’s all work, Holden’s all playboy. But when Sabrina, daughter of the family’s chauffeur, returns from Paris all grown up and glamorous, the stage is set for some family fireworks as the brothers fall under the spell of Hepburn’s delightful charms.

This excellent collection is a must have for any lovers of Old Hollywood. It’d also be a perfect gift idea.

The Quiet Man is one of the most beautiful, entertaining, colorful, and perfect movies ever made. Two of my favorite stars (Maureen O’Hara and John Wayne) in one of my favorite movies? It doesn’t get much better than that!
