Curious about Audrey Hepburn’s box office grosses or which Audrey Hepburn movie picked up the most Oscar® nominations? Need to know which Audrey Hepburn movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences and which one got the worst reviews? Well you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information.
Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993), an Oscar® winning actress, appeared in 26 movies from 1951 to 1989. While filming a small part in 1951’s We Will All Go To Monte Carlo, she was spotted by French novelist Colette. Colette picked Hepburn to play Gigi in the Broadway play Gigi. The success of the play led to Hepburn’s first starring role….1953’s Roman Holiday. Roman Holiday was a hit and earned her the Oscar® for Best Actress. From 1953 until the rest of her life she was an internationally star.
Although she only made 16 movies during her peak of stardom (1953-1967)….check out some of her legendary leading men….Gregory Peck in Roman Holiday, Humphrey Bogart in Sabrina, Henry Fonda in War and Peace, Gary Cooper in Love in the Afternoon, Fred Astaire in Funny Face, Burt Lancaster in The Unforgiven, James Garner in The Children’s Hour, Cary Grant in Charade, William Holden in Paris When It Sizzles, Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady, Peter O’ Toole in How To Steal A Million and Albert Finney in Two For The Road. I can only imagine the stories she could share of her experiences behind the scenes with all of these incredible actors.
My personal favorite Audrey Hepburn movies are 1963’s Charade and 1966’s How To Steal A Million. I have seen 17 of her 24 movies to date.

Hey Epi…as always thanks for the many recommendations you send my way….Hepburn was the definition of class, beauty and style. Thanks for checking out my Hepburn page. PS….I spent a few people from the forums to you, attempted humour and Mentalist acer, as they asked for the better poets on hub pages.
Thank you for publishing this excellent movie page. I enjoyed reading about Audrey Hepburn and her wonderful films. I have seen most of them and they consistently delight. I have not seen “How to Steal a Million.” I will rectify that shortly.
Thanks for stopping by James. I think you will really enjoy How to Steal a Million….Hepburn and O’Toole make a great team….it is a very fun money to watch….and Hepburn is stunning in the movie. Thanks for the comments and the compliments.
I’ve seen (and own) Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and I enjoy it well enough. But I definitely prefer Wait Until Dark. It’s a great movie that just pulls you in and keeps you watching.
Excellent.
Thanks for stopping by Garlonuss….I agree with you about Wait Until Dark….have just seen Breakfast at Tiffany’s I found the movie more sad than funny….I think Hepburn’s Holly Golightly is one confused lady…and although the ending is happy…I can image the next day she would be back hunting for another rich man.
As for Wait Until Dark….a quality movie and one of Hepburn’s best movies….it is a shame that she pretty much stopped making movies after this great movie…thanks for the comment.
She was beautiful in a unique sort of way and a massive shining star. The Lavender Hill Mob is a famous British small budget comedy that stands the test of time and worth seeing. I’ve seem Roman Holiday too many times, but they are great together. Yes she was real class and deserving of your magnificent tribute. Cheers buddy.
Thanks for stopping by attemptedhumour….I think she was with Elizabeth Taylor and Grace Kelly…the three prettiest women in the 1950s and early 1960s. I have not seen Lavender Hill Mob….but I want to in the near future. Thanks for the compliment.
