Audrey Hepburn: a highly sensitive person?
Excerpts from A toast to Audrey Hepburn, by Susan King, The Los Angeles Times Oct 22 2009.
Robert Wagner (appeared with Hepburn in the 1987 TV movie “Love Among Thieves”) : “She was in the moment – always. Those close-ups of her when she looks and you see into her eyes, there is no diffusion. You are looking into her soul and spirit. She had a great soul and she had great spirit of life.”
Peter Bogdanovich, who directed Hepburn in “They All Laughed,” found her to be “absolutely real. I mean, she looked in the other actors’ eyes and told the truth. She had a kind of purity and saintliness.
“The amazing thing about Audrey I found from working with her is that she was a very vulnerable person and very fragile emotionally. She was completely professional and she managed to somehow take that vulnerability and sensitivity and marshal it into something she can work with and convey on the screen.”
