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?

What humanitarian causes?

​@@julianarodriguex899I know- probably her own😮

She worked with UNICEF to help starving people. And as a teen she was a spy for the Dutch resistance during WW2. ​@@julianarodriguex899

The starving in other countries

@@laural2780 she looked pretty hungry herself

Same age...there was a warmth and security...feeling that everything was ok. That quiet murmur coming from the family room is a sound I miss...

@@pickenit ME TOO ! We could go to sleep happy!! Late night shows last 20 SUCK!!!!!! NEVER WHAT THOSE EVIL LIBS!!!!!!!!!!!🤬

@@carriedillmann4455 Oh well life's not fair. You'll have to admit, they have a lot to make fun of.

Happy Tears 2024 !

Same ❤

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

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

​@@r-leanmygirl-gj2ktjealous?

@@schmittyconstanz @r-leanmygirl-gj2kt jealous? Not really. Just bored. Bored, like 99% of humans, who expect others to entertain them. They have never read Baudelaire.

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.

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.

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 came from Europe - not from Hollywood. Thats the difference 🙂 and thats the reason ... even the dresses were made in Paris ...

@@MrSebboxxxJohn Wayne, Hollywood Icon, born in Iowa. Cary Grant, Hollywood Icon, born in Bristol England. It’s not where you were born.

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

@@jstasiak2262 Julie Andrews even thanked Jack Warner in her acceptance speech since not getting hired for My Fair Lady meant she was available for Mary Poppins....

@@jstasiak2262 add: after (previous year's winner) Patricia Neal got sick on Oscar night, the Academy asked Audrey to present Best Actor 'cuz they want a Heavy Hitter for the major prizes - Audrey did it and presented Best Actor to Rex Harrison! 😱 Think About That! when watching this video and Audrey says she doesn't carry bitterness - it's believable and UNBELIEVABLE at the same time! Reference: Leo DiCaprio did not attend Oscar night the year "Titanic" was up for awards and Leo was not.

She was very malnourished during WWII, and it stunted her growth.

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

P0pjkhplp0

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 fast 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.

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

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.

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."

@@stephaniedegange2737Many of his questions were invasive. About her life with her husband being a psychiatrist. And him being kidnapped! So many other topics he could’ve brought up.

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.

⁠l

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.

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.

​@@christinepaige2575right! Everyone saying she's so classy n wonderful here but I think she's very strange. She made this super awkward.

And seriously anorexic/bulimic.

No, it was like pulling teeth. She was the nervous one, poor thing. I love her though.

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!

Exactly. How awful of him to say this or even bring it up at all. So rude.

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

it's "epitome" and not "epitomy"

@@szvqorwnpstahskypfwmp9821 that's what I sed

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

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.

@@TombCatWas she in front of a live studio audience with Miss Walters. And that interview was edited.

@@brookehanley3659Audrey had terrible anxiety if you read up on her you would know it was one of her worst traits that she thought she had

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.

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.

I wish people would stop putting the awkwardness of this interview on Audrey. Johnny was the professional but very unprofessional here. Terribly invasive questions. Even just about her husband’s kidnapping and their relationship. This could’ve been so much better.

SHE and George Peppard ...

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

@@muziklvr7776She wasn’t asking him personal, invasive questions. He was the professional in this setting.

@@muziklvr7776 Ridiculous line if questioning because he was so nervous. It was his job as host to put her at ease. A lot of performers are actually quite shy.

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.

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

Lousy interview

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

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.

She was married to Mel Ferrer, not Jose Ferrer.

@@epaddonYes. 😂 2 totally different people.

she also suffered from krohns disease rathre horribly

So she was Dutch?

*eloquence

I think she was just incredibly nervous.

This was the first time she was back in the limelight in eight years, it is understandably she would be nervous back in the public eyes after such a long hiatus. On top of that Hollywood has changed a lot in those eight years, she probably never had to go onto live TV to promote her movies before and it shows how uncomfortable she was.

God bless Audrey's accomplishments and struggles !Johnny is the consummate host who kept 'em coming.

*aura

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

I completely agree. She had had such a fascinating life, if she had only opened up this could have been a truly wonderful conversation. Carson must have felt so disappointed, but he tried.

@kevinflam: I totally agree! I really like both Audrey and Johnny but it was painful to watch. Johnny was so overwhelmed by her presence but certainly trying. I was rather surprised that she didn’t make more of an effort to “meet him halfway” with the stilted conversation (or lack of, lol). However, it was nice to see them both and Ed was great filling in after Audrey left.

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.

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.
