An Assorted Collection of Quotes About Audrey Hepburn

Kevyn Aucoin, Makeup Artist:
"Audrey had an angelic quality about her. She didn't act like she was better than everyone, she just had a presence, an energy, a sort of light coming from within her that was overwhelming."

Stanley Donen, Director:
"The first time I saw Audrey Hepburn was in Roman Holiday. There have only been a few firsts in my life that have rattled me so much - the first time I saw Fred Astaire, the first time I saw Marlon Brando. It was obvious to me that she was going to join a group into which a few artists are admitted: Chaplin, Astaire, Brando."

Richard Dreyfus, Actor:
"She was the best that we could possibly be. She was perfectly charming and perfectly loving. She was a dream; And she was the dream that you remember when you wake up smiling."

"Most people think of Audrey Hepburn as regal. I like to think of her as spunky. It was my good luck to be her first screen fellow, to hold out my hand and help her keep her balance while she made everybody in the world fall in love with her."

Rex Reed, Critic:
