Director: Helena Coan shows us the Audrey Hepburn as she is perceived by her adoring fans. And Audrey is more than worthy of their praise. But she was also human and was fallible to human weakness and this part of Ms Hepburn is sorely missing in this bio-docu.
I was hoping Helena Coan would show us more of 'Audrey the Hollywood Star' and the power of her opinion in her movie roles (characters}. But the only info we are afforded is her singing in MY FAIR LADY was dubbed, and she demanded the song Moon River stay in BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S. And that's it. Plus her two less than fulfilling marriages.
To Audrey's credit she did put her international stardom to good use through her exhaustive work with UNICEF - she had a name and when she spoke people would listen!
But at the end of this documentary I felt more emotionally tired than intellectually inspired. What I mean by that statement is that Audrey Hepburn found herself thru humanitarianism via the Hollywood star factory.
