Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, and William Holden: Promotional Pictures for Sabrina (1954)

February 21, 2023 By Joi

Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn

One of my all-time favorite movies is the wonderful 1954 romantic comedy/drama Sabrina, directed by Billy Wilder. The work of perfection stars Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, William Holden, John Williams, Walter Hampden, and Martha Hyer.

Anyone who knows me knows how persnickety I am about movie endings – not only do I insist on happy endings, I very, very, very much insist that they end the way I personally want them to! We only children have too many quirks to get into right now, so we’ll save that for another day. Anyway, this fixation on endings popped up about halfway through my first viewing of this extraordinary movie – I told my cats, “If this doesn’t end the way I want it to… and if she doesn’t end up with who I want her to, it will he catastrophic!”

I can be pretty dramatic… harkens back to those quirks we just spoke of.

Thankfully, the movie ended PRECISELY as I wanted… catastrophic drama averted!

Audrey Hepburn and Audie Murphy: The Unforgiven (1960)

July 26, 2022 By Joi

Audrey Hepburn and Audie Murphy in The Unforgiven
Audrey Hepburn and Audie Murphy

Audrey Hepburn, Burt Lancaster, Audie Murphy, Lilian Gish, and Charles Bickford lead an extraordinary cast in the 1960 Western The Unforgiven. It was directed by one of my favorite directors, John Huston, and you can see his fingerprints all over the film.

This was Audrey Hepburn’s only Western, and it’s a very memorable one. You can find The Unforgiven on dvd (Amazon link) or watch the movie on Prime Video.

Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn, and William Wyler, Behind the Scenes of Roman Holiday

Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn, and William Wyler, Behind the Scenes of Roman Holiday

Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn, and William Wyler

One of my all-time favorite movies is the wonderful, wonderful, WONDERFUL Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck (two stars who were mesmerizingly beautiful together). Directed by the best man for the job, William Wyler, the film is a classic and lives up to the name.

If I could change one thing about the movie, it would be the ending… it was perfectly fine, mind you (and Peck’s smile made it even more so), but it wasn’t quite what I had hoped for. I still LOVE the movie to distraction, mind you.

You can find Roman Holiday on dvd (Amazon link) or watch its magic on Prime Video.

Audrey Hepburn, The Unforgiven

The Unforgiven (1960) was Audrey Hepburn’s only Western… as a HUGE fan of both westerns and Audrey Hepburn, I wish this weren’t so, but do cherish the one I have been given!

The movie was directed by John Huston and also stars Burt Lancaster, Audie Murphy, John Saxon, Lillian Gish, Albert Salmi, Doug McClure, and Charles Bickford (love him in everything, thank you very much).

I love this western and the cast is outstanding. You can find The Unforgiven on dvd (Amazon link) or watch the movie on Prime Video.

The Wonderful Audrey Hepburn was BOTD in 1929

May 4, 2022 By Joi

Audrey Hepburn, Sabrina

Audrey  Hepburn, Promotional Picture for Sabrina

Beautiful Audrey Hepburn was born on this day in 1929 in Ixelles, Brussels, Belgium.  This beautiful, iconic actress (and household name) is such a wonderful ambassador for our beloved old Hollywood. She was everything that was right about old Hollywood. She was talented, beautiful, stylish, kind, classy (head to toe!) and had a compassionate, loving heart.

Her filmography may not be as long as some but is it ever impressive?!

Some of my personal favorite Audrey Hepburn films are Sabrina, Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, How to Steal a Million Dollars, My Fair Lady, The Unforgiven, Two for the Road, Funny Face, and Charade.

“I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.” ~ Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck in One of the Great Ones: Roman Holiday (1953)

December 30, 2021 By Joi

Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, Roman Holiday

Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck

The wonderful Roman Holiday (1953) was directed by William Wyler and stars two of old Hollywood’s best and most loved stars, Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. It also stars Eddie Albert (best known for Green Acres) with a performance that makes you wish he had been featured in more films! I love him in this movie and his character’s friendship with Gregory Peck’s character is one of the best things about the film.

Without giving anything away, I have to say this: If there were one thing I’d change about this movie it would be something in particular about the ending. I should have prefaced that by saying that I am incredibly particular about movie endings. I honestly am the worst when it comes to movie endings and expectations. Somewhere along the way in every movie, my mind decides how it very much wants the film to end… then, when the ending deviates from my mind’s game plan… well, suffice to say it’s a letdown!

The movie is perfectly wonderful and its stars shine so brightly in each scene it takes your breath away. In spite of ending slightly different than the direction my brain was headed, I absolutely love this movie and would rank it a 10 each and every time I watch it.

You can find Roman Holiday on dvd or Blu-ray (Amazon link) – I certainly cherish my copy – or watch the wonderful movie on Prime Video.

Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn: My Fair Lady (1964)

September 6, 2021 By Joi

Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison, My Fair Lady

Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison

I don’t just love My Fair Lady with Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison… I ADORE My Fair Lady with Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison. Every word spoken, every note hit, every thread of every costume, every… oh, you get the idea. I’m completely infatuated with it and with the performance of each star.

The wonderful George Cukor directed this iconic musical. The cast also includes Stanley Holloway, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Jeremy Brett, and Gladys Cooper.

If it’s been a while since you’ve watched this absolute masterpiece, I hope you’ll revisit it soon. It’s even better than you remember.

You can find My Fair Lady on dvd (Amazon link) or watch on Prime Video.

Audrey Hepburn, Exquisite My Fair Lady Promotional Photo

Audrey Hepburn, My Fair Lady

Audrey Hepburn looks like a beautiful, exquisite princess in the photo above… then again, she looked that way all of  her life – in photos and out! She was simply one in a billion and, boy, did they ever break the mold.

This stunningly beautiful picture of Audrey was for the 1964 musical My Fair Lady. This movie wasn’t just a wonderful film, it produced some of the most amazing promotional pictures of Audrey.

Think the camera loved her? I’m pretty sure it was obsessed with her!

You can find My Fair Lady on dvd (Amazon link) or watch on Prime Video. Few things I can think of that compare with spending a few hours with the always delightful and deliriously de-loverly Audrey Hepburn!

One of the most delightful movies ever made (musical or otherwise) and two of the finest performances (Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison) involve the same legendary film… My Fair Lady. It’s absolutely remarkable and, in my opinion, seems to get better with each subsequent viewing.

I’ve seen it at least 8 times and love it EVEN more after each revisit.

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

November 12, 2020 By Joi

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.

Welcome to Hollywood Yesterday!

Ann Sheridan, It All Came True

Ann Sheridan
My name is Joi (“Joy”) and I created Hollywood Yesterday as my personal tribute to Old Hollywood. It’s my effort to help keep the stars from Old Hollywood, Classic Television, and Old Radio Shows alive and shining forever. Old Hollywood was positively magical and I see no reason for the magic to ever die.

Be warned, I am (by nature) overtly positive, I never take anything too seriously, I say extraordinary so often you’d think I invented the word, and I overuse exclamation points to distraction. I’m perpetually over-caffeinated.. we’ll blame that.

The Old Hollywood & Classic TV Pictures of the Day are published as regularly as possible. If I miss a few days, please just know that the husband, daughters, sons-in-law, grandbabies, and/or my cats were demanding my attention. I’ll be honest, nothing comes before any of them! Not even Maureen O’Hara or Henry Fonda.

Priorities, y’all.

Olivia de Havilland

Olivia de Havilland, The Adventures of Robin Hood

My main goal with Hollywood Yesterday is to keep the names, faces, and films of the stars that mean so much to me shining brightly. When I’m guilty of focusing more time on my personal favorites (such as Olivia de Havilland) than other stars, I hope you’ll forgive me. I am, by all indications, very human!

Also, please know that I try to keep my posts (except for book reviews) short and to the point, so you can enjoy the pictures, grab the information, and get back to your life. I don’t appreciate anything that’s overly wordy, so I don’t want to do that to others. For better or worse, I write as I talk, so if you ever feel like you’re reading the words of someone who’s a cross between Lucy Ricardo, Daisy Duck, and a Jerry Lewis character, that’s just because you are!

Wait. What did I just admit to?? 

Barbara Stanwyck Quotes

Another personal absolute favorite of mine is Barbara Stanwyck. Not only was she beautiful and outrageously talented, she was exceptionally bright, charismatic, and colorful. This growing collection of Barbara Stanwyck Quotes will give you an idea of just how colorful she was!
