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.

Sounds interesting…any more details?
What a great list, and so uniquely organized! I’ve seen most of these, and have enjoyed all them very much. Charade and My Fair Lady have to be my favorites, but Roman Holiday was so charming and Wait Until Dark was one of the best mysteries of it’s day that I’ve ever seen. Thanks for taking the tie to put all of these numbers together.
Hey collegatariat…thanks for such a nice compliment. I am very glad to read that you enjoyed these collection of numbers so much. She made so many great movies…but I agree with the ones you mentioned….especially Charade which is one of my all-time favorites regardless of who is in the film.
This was such a fun and interesting movie page to read! I love the facts at the end! Many things I did not know about her! This made me want to have an Audrey Hepburn movie marathon! =)
Hey ambassadornchains….thanks for the great compliment…and I glad my possibly interesting facts were indeed interesting. I know I have watched 5 more of her movies since writing this hub….including Breakfast at Tiffanys….hope you enjoy your Hepburn marathon…thanks for stopping by and checking out my movie page.
Enjoyed this movie page since I’m an Audrey Hepburn fan. I saw her in Green Mansions and it wasn’t her best, but I did like the book. I hope you’ve seen Breakfast at Tiffany’s by now. Holly Golightly is quite a character. Wait Until Dark is another favorite of mine, along with Charade which I watched a few weeks ago for the nostalgia.
Hey Cyndi10….I am glad you liked my tribute to Audrey Hepburn….I did in fact watch Breakfast at Tiffany’s very shortly after writing this hub…..she was awesome in the move….the only negative in the movie was Mickey Rooney as the Japanese neighbor. I would say my top three Hepburn movies are Wait Until Dark, How To Steal A Million and Charade…with Charade being one of my top films ever. Thanks for the follow…and thanks for the comments.
I was just watching Audrey Hepburn in The Children’s Hour. I had forgotten just how beautiful she was and what a wonderful actress she was. I enjoyed this movie page very much.
Hey Jeannieinabottle…Hepburn is outstanding in The Children’s Hour….I think she, Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor were the most beautiful actresses performing during that time frame….thanks for the compliment and the comments.
