Audrey Hepburn raised the bar for sheer elegance so high that no actress can ever top her.........

Director William Wyler famously said of Audrey: "What Audrey had you can't learn and you can't teach, God kissed her on her cheek and there she was."

She's so fun, so smart, so quick-witted! Not to mention her elegance, talent and kindness. She was wonderful, and will be forever

She's hilarious and classy at the same time wow

Hepburn's look here is timeless. The audience are absolutely rooted in late 80s.

She was delightful to listen to, what a great woman

What a combination of kindness and elegance rolled into one.

60 years old and absolutely gorgeous

I could listen to Audrey speaking for hours, for an introverted person she really knew how to get attention to herself, very smart, very classy. Just an absolutely perfect role model, for people of all ages, gender, religion... it doesn't matter, everybody can learn something from her.

She carried this interview , such a pleasure to listen to

What a beauty, so classy, elegant, intelligent with a huge heart 💕

Her voice, her presence, her mannerisms, could there be anyone more genuine, elegant or charismatic than Audrey Hepburn? NO is the answer.

She would die only 3 years after this interview? Shocking. she was an angel

Just a stunning and beautiful woman. But I think it was her INNER beauty that reflected outward. Absolutely lovely.❤

She was a miracle omg. That grace and humor.

I absolutely love the way she talks and carries herself. I wish women of today would follow her lead. She's so pure and full of grace. RIP Audrey. Forever still making a great impact.

Unlike so many celebrities and actresses of her time, Audrey always wore minimal jewelry and makeup, as in this video. She never wore an engagement ring, just a simple wedding band and 2 pinkie rings her sons gave her. She realised less is more. Yet she is far classier and more elegant than any other actress--ever.

Audrey was a once in a lifetime person. Gifted, humble and truly unforgettable. Just a wonderful lady.

Her husband was the luckiest guy on the planet. And I'm absolutely certain he knew it. Truly one of a kind. That playful quality that only comes from a genuine appreciation for life and the desire to share it with everyone. Can you imagine the joy she brought to the people she touched? It's palpable in her films. It must have bordered on the divine in real life.

Who knew she had such a great sense of humor? Love Ms Audrey Hepburn!

Audrey Hepburn is with the lord in Heaven. She had the face of an Angel had the kind heart of a Saint. Dedicated her life helping the less fortunate.

The most charming and classy person who ever lived

In dutch we have a saying : "she was aristocratic in her humility" which is a compliment of course. Audrey, rest in peace our lovely darling dutch girl. ❤️🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

This is the first interview I've ever seen of Audrey, and she is just as captivating as she was in my favorite film of hers, Roman Holiday.

Everytime someone tries to get her to criticize, she never takes the bate. Lovely and classy always!

How I wish Audrey were still here ❤

Sometimes angels become humans to help humans become angels.💖💫💮.55.

The best word I can use to describe her is luminous. She just glows.

What a beautiful caring person.

He is a terrible interviewer and obviously did not do his research. She was the epitome of grace ,beauty, class, elegance and patience throughout. A true Angel

Her sense of humor probably got her through a ton of trials and hard times.

This lady IS the epitome of elegance, and humanity, in one magical person. Her talents, are brilliant, and many, but her best asset was her love of everyone and everything life had to offer.....Combined with such Grace. RIP you Icon!! xx Love from New Zealand. 11.2020.

The epitome of timeless beauty and elegance. Such a beautiful soul she was.

She is so marvelous, elegant, humble, and nice... I can´t imagine someone not liking her.

Audrey Hepburn tells her biography brilliantly you could cry at her young life tragedies. What a brave soul 👏 ❤

A masterclass lesson in elegance and humility right here! There will NEVER be another like her!

Audrey was a class act and an angel that heaven has now God Bless you

The thing with Audrey is that not only I’m so impressed with her elegance but somehow she managed to top that with her inner modesty.

The most beautiful human being to ever live, both inside & out 💕🙏 What an amazing and talented actress she was. She had the biggest heart 💖

She's adorable! And just pure grace, elegance, and yet genuine modesty.

It's very touching how sweet she is. One of a kind

I adore everything about her

Can’t believe they left the most important subject to her (saving children lives) for the very last 30 sec, and then cut her off…shame on them, it shows that even back then hearts were getting cold and focused on money😐 While the most precious we have in this world are children❤️

She has such classy humour! What a delight to have watched this interview and get to know her this way.

Audrey was sheer class. A lovely woman who epitomized the term “lady”.

My favorite thing about this video is the reaction of the audience. They just know they are in the presence of someone who has pure class and a great sense of humor.

She has the absolute charm and character of the best you would ever want as a human being. Love her.

What a remarkable lady.

A classy intelligent generous-of-heart lady. RIP sweet lady Rest in peace 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹

I love and idolize her. Always have and always will. She is the epitome of elegance, grace, beauty, and wisdom. No one else comes close!

Beautiful lady, in mind body and soul. I think she could teach young people today an awful lot about gratitude, class and humility. And a lot more besides.

I LOVE HER. One of a kind, the incarnation of beauty and elegance.

So eloquent and elegant. Exudes immense class and stunning beauty.

She was a true lady

Pure class. Such elegance and a wonderful sense of humour. Beautiful Lady.🌷

She is just so beautiful, witty and warm. Life goals, be more like Audrey. .

She was and is an angel!

She Is so special. A very rare human being . A gift to the rest of us ! Thank you, Audrey

She handled the fan interest and media so gracefully. Love just listening to her voice.

What an amazing person, I have tears in my eyes hearing her speak of her childhood

The woman, actress, and celebrity I most admire. Class, style, with a heart of gold for children and the less fortunate and needy. A saint, truly, in her own way. Moreso when she got out of Tinsel Land.

There should be a picture of Audrey Hepburn in the dictionary to define elegant. She was such an impressive human. May her memory be eternal

Beautiful, talented and - most of all - caring. I admire her so much.

She is polite, cute, humourous and charming. UNICEF was lucky to have her helping them

Ms Hepburn as Sister Luke in "The Nun" is one of my favorite movies of all time. She was absolutely spectacular.

We need women like her today

Wow she aged so gracefully. Still so beautiful here.

The only word to describe her is perfection.

She describes the horrors wrought on her family with great dignity and strength.

This is the first interview I've seen of Audrey. Delightful!

I love how Audrey Hepburn found Michelle Pfeiffer beautiful. That has to be a huge compliment especially since Michelle was a rising star at the time.

The epitome of timeless elegance and beauty. Such a wonderful human beeing she was.

Exquisite human being. I named my first daughter after her 💜

Such beauty and grace. RIP beautiful lady.

So classy well rounded and no one in Cinema today could even come close to her.

So sad to know that she died just 3 years after this wonderful interview. So very sad.

Audrey Hepburn is a wonderful person, if we all could be so.

This was a class act, she was kind about everyone. Even her father who deserted the family and it has an affect on her the rest of her life.

I love Audrey and happy to hear her said she finds Ingrid Bergman beautiful.

Truth that money cant by you class. Audrey had a regalness about her. But classless, not snobbish. A lot of these two a penny so called celebrities should study this beautiful icon

I remember seeing her movies in 3rd grade, and all her Unicef PSAs, and she always loved children and committed so much of time toward awareness and helping children as refugees or war torn countries, such as I was at one time after the Korean War in reconstruction in Busan. In all her grace, we often forget her own tragedy barely surviving World War 2, which could have been avoided with prudence and involvement instead of isolationism from the start. She barely survived the bombings, in the rubbles, from dance and barely surviving, had complications of child birth into her twenties, with jilted romance and others that a star is more prone. Despite all her travesties and personal struggles, she always seemed so graceful and approachable with deep concern for others, whether in third world countries or advanced. There's only one Audrey Hepburn.

Thank you for posting. I have been looking for this interview for years. So many feels. I saw this when it aired in 1990. I remember her untimely death at 63. My mom saw Audrey and then-husband Mel Ferrer walking out of a NY hotel in 1954.

Audrey is precious and I must give Phil Donahue props for being a great interview,er, not interrupting her, and truly allowing her to shine. 😍

Natural beauty!

SHE WAS ALWAYS STUNNING - AND THE PERSONIFICATION OF ABSOLUTE CHARM AND CARING CLASS !

A woman with class and style and humility and kindness and exudes so much love that anyone can fall under her spell and we all did, we love her we always will

Audrey Hepburn is one wonderful person and actress. Thank you.

Some famous co-star or directed/producer said that Audrey’s sexiness affected you through the heart and not the groin.

Love Audrey. so sweet, smart and sharp...and beautiful. Phil is such a great host and interviewer. One of the best EVER.

even her life story is a movie material

She is incredibly grateful

One of the best and most iconic women who appeared in films; Hepburn won a competitive Oscar and was awarded the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Oscar posthumously. She starred opposite the best actors and dancers in the industry, including Astaire, Rex Harrison, Gregory Peck, Gary Cooper, Humphrey Bogart, William Holden, Burt Lancaster, Peter O'Toole, George Peppard, Alan Arkin, Albert Finney, Ben Gazzara, Anthony Perkins, Henry Fonda and Peter Finch. She travelled extensively for UNICEF while in pain from cancer.

I love Audrey! You are right Peter, she exudes sheer class.

Aubrey had no idea she was the most Beautiful woman of her time!!

Really wish Audrey's advice for those with absent fathers hadn't been cut out. I would love to have heard what she had to say ♥️

This was a delightful interview. Mr Flanagan, I must thank you for sharing your copy of the interview of Miss Audrey Hepburn on the Phil Donahue Show. It is such an awesome surprise because this is such a complete copy even though you say that it is not. It completes the copies that are available in the internet! God bless you!

Thank you so much for making such a inspire interview with Audrey Hepburn video! which is a great experience to know her, it is unforgettable...

Can someone remove EVERY current public speaker, government official (except J. Ardern) and just play this instead. The epitome of strength, style, integrity, intelligence.

so lovely just watching this.

She’s such a wonderful soul. I adore her ♥️
