An informative Netflix documentary of the silver screen's most luminous actress; Audrey Hepburn. Born to dire straits during WWII in Europe but still able to scratch her performing itch by becoming a dancer which led to her getting a series of bit parts (famously a walk-on of sorts in The Lavender Hill Mob) but when cast in William Wyler's Roman Holiday, she became a superstar overnight (winning a Best Actress Oscar for her troubles). Seemingly to have the Midas touch when it came to iconic roles, Hepburn could do no wrong (even partnering w/fashion designer Givenchy to cultivate not only getting the right roles but looking spectacular doing it). Famously retiring after making Wait Until Dark for about a decade, her star never faltered due to her philanthropic pursuits (even becoming the ambassador for the United Way) Never finding the kind of happiness in her lovelife, she did manage to devote herself to her children & the friends in her orbit. Effortless in her beauty & grace, Hepburn epitomizes a kind of celebrity which is rare in our rapid, like or subscribe times.

Plot summary
Audrey Hepburn won her first Academy Award at the age of 24 and went on to become one of the world's greatest cultural icons: a once-in-a-generation beauty, and legendary star of Hollywood's Golden Age, whose style and pioneering collaboration with Hubert de Givenchy continues to inspire. But who was the real Audrey Hepburn? Malnourished as a child, abandoned by her father and growing up under Nazi occupation in Holland, Hepburn faced a life-long battle with the traumas of her past, which thwarted her dreams of becoming a ballet dancer, and cast a shadow over her personal life. Yet she found inner peace using her superstardom for good as a global ambassador for UNICEF and bringing her life full circle; first a victim of war, then a source of relief to millions.

THE ONE & ONLY...!
Excellent biography of an iconic star and great humanitarian
Audrey (I) was directed by Helena Coan. It stars archival footage of Audrey Hepburn, as well as interviews with her family and friend.
Hepburn was a superb actor. She was an Oscar winner for Roman Holiday, and was nominated four more times. (For Roman Holiday she also won the BAFTA Award, the Golden Globe Award, and the New York Film Critics Circle Award.)
Hepburn was extraordinarily beautiful and she was extremely stylish. It's interesting to me that the high-fashion dresses she wore--in movies and in her personal life--still look stylish today. Her preferred designer was Hubert de Givenchy, who designed the famous Little Black Dress that Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Hepburn was a noted humanitarian, traveling around the world on behalf of UNICEF at an age when most great actors would be resting in an armchair.
I thought Audrey was an interesting and factual account of Hepburn's life. It has a pretty good IMDb rating of 7.2. I thought that it was much better than that, and rated it 9.
P. S. Hepburn's most famous film is Breakfast at Tiffany's, but it's hard to watch because of the racist elements in the movie. If you haven't seen Hepburn's work, I recommend Roman Holiday (of course) and Funny Face.
Another worst film! Full of boring archive video footage, and interview scene! Not recommended!
This film start with a woman narrate about she is not an actress, and the introduction of "Audrey Hepburn" on the stage scene! As turnout, this film is about a bunch of interviewee talking about Audrey Hepburn's movie career, her husbands, her family, and her contribution to UNICEF! Entire film full of boring overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the movie archive video footage scene, overuse of the interview scene, overuse of the dancing scene, and overuse of the Audrey Hepburn's archive video footage scene! Make the film unwatchable! At the end, Audrey Hepburn saying "When I love, I love unconditionally"! That's it! Another disappointed film!
