The Audrey Hepburn Story

Jennifer Love-Hewitt (I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER) stars as the legendary Audrey Hepburn in this ambitious made-for-TV bio-pic that focuses on the extraordinary events that transformed a scampish war refugee into one of the most beloved actresses of all time. Framed around her battles to win the affections of the catty Truman Capote (Michael J.Burg) during the filming of BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S in New York City, the film employs flashbacks to recount Hepburn's rise to fame -- offset by the many trials of her personal life and her relationships with millionaire James Hanson (Peter Giles), actor William Holden (Gabriel Macht), and producer Mel Ferrer (Eric McCormack - WILL & GRACE).

  • 3 stars out of 5

    Now that TV movie-makers have explored every possible angle on the Marilyn Monroe story, they have turned their attention to other actresses. Here, the unfortunate focus is Audrey Hepburn (film-makers, of course, rarely choose a subject who is still alive and able to complain). Buxom young star Jennifer Love Hewitt is fun and witty in films such as Heartbreakers, but she's neither gamine nor delicately classy enough to embody Hepburn, though she has a fair stab at the emotional points of the actress?s life. Told in flashback from the set of Breakfast at Tiffany's, the film follows Hepburn's experiences in wartime Holland and her early career. While the tribute is an honourable one, there isn?t enough drama to maintain interest until the end.
