incredible request- have a lovely day!

Thank you so much for having one of the true shining stars of Hollywood ..as they use this word so loosely today...

AMEN and AMEN!!!

I 2nd this. Amazing channel and people running this channel, please give yourself a shout out. You deserve it!

Where and how did you request it?

He was clearly nervous, she could barely say a few words until several minutes in. It was endearing how bumbling he was while she just smiled charmingly. She seemed held back tho, so maybe he was trying to fill in the gaps since she offered so little. This was toward the end of her marriage with her philandering psychiatrist husband and 2 years after a miscarriage. She looked quite underweight here, also approaching menopause. Always so graceful, however, no matter what.

@@TrueWalker88 She seemed bored by their mindless, sexist conversation.

@@January. Agreed.

​​​@@TrueWalker88She had a eating disorder which started at a very young age. She also had affair's of her own.

@@noneofyourbusiness9369 Yes, she also had affairs but that doesn't take away from the hurt that was caused. She and her family have said that she had health issues related to having been malnourished as a child during the war and that it wasn't an eating disorder. But she was a heavy smoker which took a toll on her health when she was already so thin which led to her frailty. And by this age, she may have already been developing the cancer from which she eventually died.

...and was about as interesting as a brick.

The first talk show Audrey ever did, cut her some slack

Audrey Hepburn was a genuinely outstanding and good lady. You were absolutely right to give your daughter such a wonderful role model to emulate!

I named my ebike Audrey, after Audrey Hepburn.

Beautiful name. Beautiful lady. 🙂♥️

"Yes, she was a delicate flower"

The UN is the biggest scam inflicted on all of us.

was also kind to animals.

She didn't grow up or live in the U.S. That's why.

@@January.she lived in Marbella in Southern Spain for a while, but lived in Switzerland most of the time.

@@JamesHanglin She was in Holland during the war…starving for years yet endured until liberation!

Actors are hopeless without a script.

Yes, "delicate" (1:08) is actually quite the wrong word.

No, she wasn't presenting herself very well, and Carson was uncomfortable with that.

@@r-leanmygirl-gj2kt I agree. She was a very good actor and a wonderful humanitarian, but she was apparently a difficult guest to interview for a late night talk show.

He even called her Aubrey at one point. But at least it was close. 😂

@@Queue28 I noticed that! 😅

@@r-leanmygirl-gj2kt What a ludicrous comment.

Ms. Hepburn wasn’t nominated for an Oscar for MFL because the Academy wanted to punish her for “stealing” the role of Eliza from Julie Andrews who originated the role on Broadway in 1956. At the time the film version of MFL went into production in 1963, Ms. Andrews was not a major star and Jack Warner, the producer, didn’t want to take a chance on her. So he picked Ms. Hepburn, who had already won an Oscar, for the lead role. Mr. Warner was pulling out all the stops for the production and did not want to take any chance on “unproven” talent. As it turned out, Julie Andrews won the Oscar that year for “Mary Poppins.” Many people thought that it was payback for being denied the starring role in MFL. Ms. Hepburn’s performance in the film version of MFL was arguably better than Ms. Andrews’ performance in Mary Poppins and was certainly Oscar worthy.

Oscars were never worthy of her.

The fact that Marni Nixon dubbed her song vocals didn't help - not Audrey's fault obviusoly that's the way it was done then

And the toppling incident.

I agree, but I think that by that point Johnny was becoming desperate to find something that Miss Hepburn was willing to talk about.

JC was nervous.

@@christinepaige2575 True

I never knew anything about that till it was brought up here. I am trying to find something about it.

No she could and should have worked harder to make a better appearance. Awkward and unprofessional.

She tried a little harder for the far more odious Barbara Walters when she was plugging her book on gardens.

After a very privileged childhood, her mother made the mistake of moving them back to Holland in 1939. After 5 years of Nazi occupation, a teenage Audrey barely survived malnutrition in 1945. It was the WWII experiences that inspired her years of work for UNICEF.

I named my ebike Audrey, after Audrey Hepburn.

​@@brucekuehn4031Because that was where her mother was from. Audrey's father was from England, and he and Audrey's mother had divorced.

@@l.a.3479 Yes, her mother was a Baroness and maternal grandparents were both from the nobility of the Netherlands. Sadly, that did not protect them from the Nazis.

Her body language was uncomfortable

I was deployed on US Navy ship off the coast of Mogadishu in the early/mid 90's supporting a relocation operation. Also made a port call in Mombasa. Had no idea Audry Hepburn had visited that area.

Thank you for sharing this!

​@@Donald-my3ooNot the subject of this comment

Yeah ! For me she is an angel and I guess Spielberg must have thought that too when he casted her in "Always" :)

Well, he tried to get her to agree with kind of negative things (Don't you find people in Hollywood more bitter?) and she just wasn't that way. I think he could have done a bit better, but he was nervous. I thought she was all right.

you are so right, @llchil. she does not help Johnny. she does not elaborate or reciprocate to his questions

​@@stephaniedegange2737As a Generation X woman, I would find it difficult to respond to his objectifying comment/question regarding if she was a "sex symbol."

Great point… he was also nervous when Frank Sinatra was on for the first time

He was the same with Bette Davis.

She could have helped him, but didn't. I felt sorry for him, because he did try but she just wouldn't help him. Strange and disappointing.

Audrey was the one that looked bad. Not Johnny at all. He handled this disaster beautifully.

it's "epitome" and not "epitomy"

@@szvqorwnpstahskypfwmp9821 that's what I sed

@@szvqorwnpstahskypfwmp9821 was I rong...do you agre she wus

Who’s we?? #TeamJoan

And Ed

@@productionemployee8032 His 23 million fans that watched him every night !

​@@timothybrock5922exactly, up every night for ninety minutes from 11:30pm until 1:00 am...5 nights a week!!!

There’s also one who has to be ignorant and make an ass out of themself!

So much different than you would expect from a true international star which she certainly was.

People these days are very dysregulated and they speak extremely fats because they have no presence. Watch the way American reality Tv stars and starlets all speak. It’s really cheap and off-putting. Audrey comes from a time where people weren’t always trying to crack jokes and act superior. She was a wonderful symbol for humility, class, dignity and being ladylike. Women these days should and could all take a masterclass from Miss Hepburn.

I think he was only having difficulty because she wasn't very responsive and he had to struggle to keep the conversation going. I'm a big fan of hers, so this isn't a criticism, just an observation.

@@lottasunshine1325 The only other time I saw Johnny nervous was when he tried to chat with a zonked out of her skull Judy Garland in 1968. Judy's mind was AWOL and had trouble talking, and Johnny was a bundle of nerves, talking too much.

But he was kind to her, and covered her difficulties with aplomb and grace.

@@eddingtonmcclane6963 If you mean Judy, not Audrey, it was a mess. Johnny realized early on she couldn't talk, and so made up for it by babbling and not letting her try.

Yes! Define bitterness. Go. I mean . . . He was nervous, but still.

Anorexia is hard to miss when you see it.

@@odinsameasfirst2640😟 I believe it was Cancer, and she didn't know@that moment...🙏😔🙏

​@@odinsameasfirst2640She was malnourished as a result of her time with her mother in Holland during WWII, when food was scarce. It affected her for the rest of her life.

@@la_baby_khalil7703 She didn't have cancer until later in life, about 12 years later. Her face was so gorgeous but by her late thirties her extreme thinness became more obvious.

She was being incredibly hard to work with due to nerves. Awkward for both parties.

SHE and George Peppard ...

She was a heavy smoker, I heard.

*pleasant

@@January. Are you the KZfaq moderator? You keep correcting other posts as if you are grading high school homework. I think you need to focus on your own shortcomings, not a few, minor misspellings or grammatical errors.

@@lottasunshine1325 I don't need your advice.

@@RalphEchtinawAnd anorexic, which shortens your life.

Yes. Robin and Marion. I just watched it yesterday. Remember that one scene where that man gets off his white steed and confronts Sean Connery, ordering him to “give it him” (hand over Marion). Connery gives it to him by kicking the man in the balls. Remember that scene?

I haven't seen everything Audrey did but can't imagine anything topping Breakfast at Tiffany's. I so wanted Johnny to ask if she ever got the mean reds.

"TFTR" is one of my favorites ❤

Also, "Wait Until Dark" Alan Arkin's performance was responsible for the first-ever jump-scare in cinema... 🤯🤯

Charade and How to Steal a Million. Those were some of our favorite movie's. Truman Capote wanted Marilyn Monroe to play lead in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Lousy interview

@@Donald-my3oo Exactly! Completely mismatched...and lots of fake laughing!

I think she was just incredibly nervous.

She was married to Mel Ferrer, not Jose Ferrer.

@@epaddonYes. 😂 2 totally different people.

she also suffered from krohns disease rathre horribly

Johnny Carson was a icon in America. Mr. Latenight.

Yes. I wonder if she didn't want to do the show but was expected to in order to promote "Robin and Marian". If so, she didn't try very hard, and what she did say made it sound like she hadn't enjoyed filming it very much, and that she wasn't very interested in making movies period.

Agree playing with her hair,skin . Thats what I was thinking….why don’t know

Well if you've ever been to Jonny Carson show you would exactly why she was uncomfortable. Some of the men and women that worked on J.C show made her feel that way. There was a floor under his stage and up on the balcony there were some women as well. Always giving comments to various guests and uhh doing some interesting stuff ( wink wink 🤣

Well, now you can check out. lol

Instead of crt, TGender, soc emotional learning Marxist crap- teach miss manners to the bully gals!!!

*eloquence

What you have now is the opposite of Audrey: Kim Kardashian.

Welcome to 1976. Lol.

I agree on Johnny's hair. He's got white hair combed over gray hair. I wonder if they tried to talk him out of it and he refused.

I was thinking who the hell thought that looked good.

Audrey’s too…that’s one extremely 70s hairdo.

@@VideoAmericanStyleyeah I didn’t love Audrey’s hair on this show and for such a style icon she looks like she didn’t put a great deal of effort into her appearance on this occasion. She did look a bit tired and rather shy. But then again, she probably just wanted to quickly promote her movie and be gone. Regardless, she was lovely, and always so polite. They don’t make people - and certainly not women - like Audrey anymore. She was the epitome of grace and class.

Yeah. She seems to work better with a script.

I remember Audrey being looser and more forthcoming on "Donahue". Guess I'll have an excuse to look it up and see now. 😏

Agreed, Hank Kingsley saved the interview

@@DavidMcdonald-df8tb Who is Hank Kingsley?

@@aileen694 he was the fictional sidekick semi based on Ed McMahon in the Larry Sanders show in the 1990s

He was married.

@@nedraleggett6837 Bill was divorced from Brenda Marshall in 1971 and remained single for the remainder of his life.

He was allegedly unable to have children and that was the deal-breaker for her.

@@l.a.3479 Possibly. I was good friends with Bill, and he never mentioned that. I sense Audrey probably had more of an issue with his drinking.

I read it in a book about Audrey Hepburn and her movies that I got from Barnes and Noble many years ago. ​@@TomBleecker

For me that is one of the most touching moments out of all the great movies I’ve seen. When that scene came up I could have floated away with the sublimity

I like the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. Came out the year I was born. Hepburn did a good job in the role. But I think she might have been miscast.

​@@JT-rx1eoMiscast? Obviously not.
