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.

This is more like it, I like your mini reviews. How did you manage to beat Flora’s tally on Audrey Hepburn? It’s a miracle I tells ya! My tally is 9 and Flora’s 17. Thanks again for the comment, vote and link, always appreciated.
Of all of the movie star women that I have truly enjoyed, admired and respected in my 70 years on this earth, there was only ever one that I fell desperately in love with and always have been. I speak of course of Audrey Hepburn. Like Lupino (above) her most memorable moment was when she was sitting out on the fire escape with her guitar singing Moon River (Breakfast At Tiffany’s) This has to be the most under-rated AH movie ever. Personally I have always placed it #2 only to My Fair Lady. The scene in that movie for me, was when she made her entry at the ball. When she appeared you just had to gasp at her poise and her demeanor!!
Hey Sean.
1. I can easily see why you have liked Audrey Hepburn so much.
2. Good mini-reviews of Breakfast At Tiffany’s and My Fair Lady…..those are classic scenes you mentioned.
3. My favorite Hepburn movies are Charade and How To Steal A Million…..both I watch on a regular basis.
4. You are so many others have been in love with her for years.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on her……good comment.
Thanks for commemorating Audrey Hepburn on her 88th birthday. She was certainly one of the best and most charming female stars to come out of Hollywood – and incidentally my favorite actress. Her work with the UN Children’s Fund shows that she was also a true humanitarian. Arguably, she had her best role with Breakfast at Tiffany’s, although my favorite of her films was Charade – where she has wonderful chemistry with Cary Grant despite (or perhaps because of) the age difference. A later, less well-known, role that showed her depth and maturity as an actress was that of the older Maid Marian (as mentioned by Lupino above) in Robin and Marian – in my view an outstanding revisionist Robin Hood tale with a deeply romantic love story, though unfortunately much underrated. Both Hepburn and Sean Connery were great in their roles. Her performance suggests that she would have continued to be a great actress had she not retired from movies relatively early.
hello,
i like her very much, she is in my top classic Hollywood stars after Dietrich, Lombard and Darnell.
My favorite film stay TIFFANY, and her couple with G Peppard is, in french we say Electric..
Anyway i saw a lot of her films and one her last part Always is a very good moment in the film;
she is one of the greats stars of the 50 and the 60 with Monroe and Taylor;
very bad weather in Paris to day
see you
Pierre
Getting old. Have visited this page often and was sure I already shared my Audrey memories here…but, as I said…I’m getting old!
Anyway, what a nice opportunity to write my first post here on Audrey’s 88th birthday. I have seen all but 2 of the films listed, those 2 are Nous irons a’ Monte Carlo and Young Wives’ Tale. Audrey Hepburn has always been a favorite of mine, she has been extremly popular here and I grew up watching Roman Holiday, Sabrina and others frequently on TV. Instead of naming favorites, it is easier to say which films I don’t like: Paris when it sizzles never sizzled I’m afraid. They all laughed was a disappointment from the director of What’s Up, Doc, a movie that really made them all laugh. Always never touched me emotionally, though Audrey’s “Hep” was the best thing in the movie. Robin and Marian didn’t fully live up to it’s possibilities, but it is worth anybodies time. Bloodline might be awful, but I enjoy Audrey, much too old for the part, acting it out with other screen legends. Green Mansions has it’s flaws and Love in the Afternoon has been commented on already here because of the age difference between Audrey and Coop. All other films are pretty good ones, in my opinion, and I’ve seen them many times. Yes, Bruce, even among all those great movie memories Charade shines 😉 One movie that is not so often mentioned when talking about the “other” Hepburn deserves some extra space here: Two for the Road, modern, different, melancholic, and costarring Audrey with Albert Finney, 7 years her JUNIOR for a change! In real life, her last partner was Robert Wolders, widower of Merle Oberon and also 7 years younger than Audrey.
Favorite Audrey moment? Strumming the guitar singing Moon River with her OWN voice 🙂
