Want to know the best Audrey Hepburn movies? How about the worst Audrey Hepburn movies? Curious about Audrey Hepburn’s box office grosses or which Audrey Hepburn movie picked up the most Oscar® nominations? Need to know which Audrey Hepburn movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences and which one got the worst reviews? Well you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information.
Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993), an Oscar® winning actress, appeared in 26 movies from 1951 to 1989. While filming a small part in 1951’s We Will All Go To Monte Carlo, she was spotted by French novelist Colette. Colette picked Hepburn to play Gigi in the Broadway play Gigi. The success of the play led to Hepburn’s first starring role….1953’s Roman Holiday. Roman Holiday was a hit and earned her the Oscar® for Best Actress. From 1953 until the rest of her life she was an internationally star.
Although she only made 16 movies during her peak of stardom (1953-1967)….check out some of her legendary leading men….Gregory Peck in Roman Holiday, Humphrey Bogart in Sabrina, Henry Fonda in War and Peace, Gary Cooper in Love in the Afternoon, Fred Astaire in Funny Face, Burt Lancaster in The Unforgiven, James Garner in The Children’s Hour, Cary Grant in Charade, William Holden in Paris When It Sizzles, Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady, Peter O’ Toole in How To Steal A Million and Albert Finney in Two For The Road. I can only imagine the stories she could share of her experiences behind the scenes with all of these incredible actors.
My personal favorite Audrey Hepburn movies are 1963’s Charade and 1966’s How To Steal A Million. I have seen 17 of her 24 movies to date.

For comments….all you need is a name and a comment….please ignore the rest.
Charade, Breakfast At Tiffany’s and Wait Until Dark are my very good movies…she was a wonderful actress. I have seen many more of her movies but the above are my favorites. Thanks for the MOVIE PAGE – GOOD JOB ONCE AGAIN. HEY, STILL WAITING FOR ELIZABETH TAYLOR…
Thanks for stopping by BERN1960….the three movies you mention are classic movies….although I have not seen Breakfast at Tiffany’s yet….I have heard about that movie all of my life. I appreciate the compliment…as for Elizabeth Taylor….she was on the first poll I did…and did not get many votes….so not sure when I will get to her….but I will write a Elizabeth Taylor in the future.
What a fab tribute to Ms Hepburn! I’m sure she would have been delighted to read this….maybe one of her sons will stop by! 🙂
I never saw many of her movies, I’m more of a pulse sorta girl…but there are some non-pulses that I admire also. Such as Michael Landon!
I voted for Dustin Hoffman! Bring on the Rainman (feel free to leave Tom Cruise out, not a fan…at all)
Hey Sunshine625…thanks for stopping by and checking out my Hepburn hub. I agree Michael Landon had a wonderful career ….the only movie I can remember with him was…I Was A Teenage Werewolf…but on the tv side he had an awesome career…Bonanza, Little House on the Prairie, and Highway to Heaven. Thanks as always for the comments.
Audrey Hepburn? hmmm never been one of my favourites. I didn’t much like Elizabeth Taylor either. I don’t know what it is, I’m very fussy on classic Hollywood actresses, loved Ingrid Bergman, Deborah Kerr and Katharine Hepburn but not those two.
Anyway Charade is a favourite of mine and I own My Fair Lady on DVD too, though thats mainly because of Rex Harrison.
Never seen The Nun’s Story.
Voted Up and sort of Interesting. 🙂
Btw I voted for Vincent Price… oh wait he wasn’t up there tsk tsk Bill Holden than. 🙂
Hey Steve, many people consider Julia Roberts to be the modern day Audrey Hepburn. So I guess I should have guessed that Hepburn would join Roberts on your not favorite list.
I agree with you about Charade…..I watch Charade about once a year….Grant and Hepburn are awesome together. As for My Fair Lady….after I included Harrison on my top 25 movie performances….he moved all the way to number 11…pushing your boy Chuck down one spot.
I am sure I will get to Vincent Price one day….talk about a long career….and finally Billy Holden appreciates your continued support.
HI, Cogerson – wow you keep the great movie hubs coming, the ones for the older set or old movie lovers. I love Audrey Hepburn. She was such a class act. Just saw her in “Wait Until Dark.” She presented a character who was physically flawed, with a delicate femininity, yet a deep well of inner strength and intelligence. What a wonderful and beautiful actress she was!
Hey Dolores, yep I have found I enjoy doing the older actors/actresses more than the current ones….as I find I learn lots of information that I was unaware of before I started…including having one or two movies that I will track down and watch…in this case it will be Breakfast at Tiffany’s and The Children’s Hour.
As for Wait Until Dark…it was her last great role….with Alan Arkin playing a great bad guy….thanks for stopping by and checking out my Hepburn page.
Tally the votes I say, tally the votes. I could see her in Father Goose, but not the others she turned down. Again a great page.
I am glad I don’t have to pick here best role.
Just a suggestion, you might find a (TM) character in the Windows character map.
Thanks for stopping by mckbirdbks. I like Leslie Caron in Father Goose….but seeing Hepburn in that role would have been perfect. Thanks for the compliment. So where exactly is the Windows character map located at? I appreciate your help…..and by the way Holden is off to an early lead in the poll.
