Interviewer: Waar bent u geboren?
Audrey Hepburn: Hier in Brussel. Dat kan ik met heel veel vreugde aankondigen.
Interviewer: U spreekt zeer goed Nederlands met een tikje Hollands accent. Hoe komt dat?
Audrey Hepburn: Omdat mijn moeder Hollands is en ik de oorlog in Holland heb doorgebracht. Ik heb er acht jaar gewoond.
Interviewer: En bent u dan terug naar België gekomen?
Audrey Hepburn: Ik ben er een paar keer geweest, heel kort. Het is heerlijk er weer te zijn vandaag.
Interviewer: U bent een filmcarrière begonnen enkele jaren terug. Hebt u daarvoor een toneelklas gevolgd?
Audrey Hepburn: Ik heb gedanst. Ik ben mijn carrière begonnen als balletleerlinge in Holland en ben als balletleerlinge ook naar Londen gegaan in 1948. En toen langzamerhand - van het een kwam het ander - heb ik heel kleine rolletjes gespeeld en een enkele film in Londen en toen heb ik de opportuniteit gehad om ‘Gigi’ te spelen in New York in het theater en diezelfde jaar heb ik een test gemaakt voor ‘Roman Holiday’, dus. 1952 was een groot jaar voor mij.
Interviewer: Er waren verschillende actrices die zich hebben aangeboden voor die film.
Audrey Hepburn: Ja die zijn uitgezocht, nee die rol was niet voor mij bedoeld.
Interviewer: U hebt in Londen gewerkt . U hebt in New York gewerkt en u bent naar Hollywood gegaan. Heel different. Was dat zoals men leest in publicaties in dagbladen? Hoe was dat om in een paar woorden te zeggen?
Audrey Hepburn: Het is niet zoals men werkelijk in dagbladen leest. Daar is het altijd óf mooier óf niet zo mooi en ik moet zeggen dat ik erg veel ervan houd om daar te werken. Ik heb heel veel vrienden. Zoals u weet, de filmindustrie is al heel lang in Hollywood. Dus is er een heel hoog peil, een heel hoog professioneel peil. Ik weet niet of ik dat goed zeg…
Interviewer: Ja, u zegt dat zeer goed.
Audrey Hepburn: Ik vind het heerlijk. Ik werk er erg graag.
Interviewer: En is er een goede geest onder elkaar, onder de acteurs…
Audrey Hepburn: O ja, er is een hele ernstige geest. Het is jammer dat men dat niet vaker leest. Men leest vaker over… de dingen die gebeuren. Maar men leest zelden van die hele vroege ochtenden dat mensen opstaan en al heel vroeg in de studio zijn. En honderden en allemaal klaar staan om heel vroeg te werken en de hele dag lang heel serieus aan het werk te zijn en er heerst een hele ernstige atmosfeer omdat men zijn werk heel ernstig opvat.
Interviewer: Hebt u een bepaalde voorkeur voor een regisseur? U hebt gewerkt met Billy Wilder…
Audrey Hepburn: Eigenlijk niet. Ik heb ontzettend veel geluk gehad, zoals u weet, met de regisseurs waarmee ik heb mogen werken. En dat is het enige dat ik zeggen kan.
Interviewer: Parijs heeft in uw films een voorname rol gespeeld.
Audrey Hepburn: Ja is dat niet merkwaardig? Helemaal in mijn carrière. Ook in het theater. Want ‘Gigi’, zoals u weet, is van het Franse verhaal afkomstig van Colette. En het tweede stuk die ik met mijn man Mel Ferrer heb gespeeld was ‘Ondine’ van Jean Giraudoux. En in het verhaal ‘Sabrina’ kom ik uit Parijs en in ‘Funny Face’ ga ik naar Parijs. En er is vaak zoiets geweest. Het heeft me heel veel geluk gebracht.
Interviewer: U hebt uw man toch niet ontmoet in Parijs?
Audrey Hepburn: Nee dat niet.
Interviewer: Maar dat had dan toch ook een groot geluk geweest, ook al is hij niet afkomstig uit Parijs. Houdt u van muzikale films?
Audrey Hepburn: Ja, heel veel. Het is heerlijk om te werken met muziek almaar om je heen, wat men eigenlijk doet.
Interviewer: En de reden waarom u hier bent is natuurlijk de film ‘The Nun’s Story’ die voor een deel gedraaid is in België en voor een deel in Belgisch Congo. Hoe is Belgisch Congo meegevallen? Hebt u geen moeilijkheden ondervonden, kwestie van temperatuur…?
Audrey Hepburn: Helemaal niet. Ik zou het heerlijk gevonden hebben om interessant te mogen zijn en te zeggen: ‘oe, het was zo warm, ik viel iedere dag flauw’. Maar dat was niet zo. Het was heel warm en ik vind het fijn om dat te kunnen zeggen en het was wel ontzettend mooi. Ik zou dolgraag terug willen gaan. Mijn man kent het nog niet en ik zou dolgraag eens samen teruggaan. Ik vond het prachtig.
Interviewer: En de rol zelf, hoe is dat u meegevallen?
Audrey Hepburn: Het is een moeilijke rol. Moeilijk en ik heb heel hard gewerkt zoals iedereen. We hebben ons best gedaan. En ik hoop dat het zo zal aflopen dat het publiek ernaartoe gaat. En dan, weer, het is een ernstig onderwerp en ik hoop dat we het eer aangedaan hebben.
Interviewer: En dan een laatste, een klassieke vraag. Welke zijn de plannen?
Audrey Hepburn: Op het ogenblik heel weinig voor mij. Mijn man gaat een andere film regisseren dus wij gaan morgenochtend terug naar Los Angeles en dus hij gaat aan het werk en ik ga huishouden doen, net zoals alle andere vrouwen doen.
Interviewer: Ik wens u veel succes in uw carrière…

She was as good as Dutch in everything but law, which officially denied her claiming her mother's nationality due to her Belgian birth. She spent fifteen of the first nineteen years of her life in the Netherlands and didn't start using her birth name, Audrey until she moved to London in 1948. Prior to that, she went by the name Adriaantje. Her first acting appearance was playing a KLM stewardess in a Dutch language film called Dutch in seven lessons.

As soon something isn't not that well or pure, some folks tend to mention 'Flemish', isn't it? Ik vind haar manier van spreken ook leuk maar ik vraag me wel af of je het nog plezant zou vinden indien iedereen zo Vlaams of Nederlands zou spreken. Wat mij het meest charmeert is dat ze een mooie mix van Vlaams/ Nederlands spreekt. En ja: ze is een schatje. Indien ze op deze manier de vunzigste dingen in het Russisch zou zeggen, zou ik nog steeds - bijna in vloeibare toestand - naar haar luisteren.

In the Netherlands she lived in my town, Arnhem. Only a year after her arrival in 1939, World War II started and Arnhem was occupied by the Germans. I'm not going in to the details, but especially from 1942 on, it was very though under this horrible occupation, and in 1944 the town was almost completely destroyed during the allied operation Market Garden. Audrey has her own statue in Arnhem and a square named after her. She was an extraordinary and beautiful woman.

Also unfortunately this is not what spoken dutch sounds like in the randstad. People in my surrounds unfornately treat flemish in a derogatory way because of how they pronounce the g which i find unfornate because the sound of belgian is very calming. this song kinda illustrates the stark difference in sound between flemish and Dutch kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipyJeJiZl77Yn6s.html

It is the more formal accent of the nobility of that time. They have a tendency to speak more clearly and string together words less than standard Dutch. When two languages from the same language groups are spoken like that and with less colloquialisms it becomes easier to understand. Also I’d think Dutch and German upper class have more contact and influence each others use of language. These are factors that foster mutual intelligibility.

I'm not an expert in Dutch language, but I think she had a southern Dutch accent with their "zachte G" compared to the harsher pronunciation that is more common in the north.

The G is pretty harsh actually, definitely not one we'd actually consider a "zachte G" within the Netherlands

Her accent is a typical accent that is spoken in high society. The royal family has the same kind of accent. I can understand how one could mix it up for the Limburg accent though, but it's very different.

Jeroen Brons I speak the exact soft way and I’m indeed from the south! To be exact from North Brabant. The royals have lived in the south for a while back decades

she was so lovely, sweet and elegant! i really feel that being a Unesco humanitarian representative in parts of the world that were so hurtful to witness destroyed her lovely spirit and made her ill. Her heart seemed so pure and light and i think making movies must have uplifted her very much and kept her joyful.
