If you think Audrey Hepburn is only a “meh” actress, you must see as many of the following as you can:

It strikes me as remarkably telling that this isn’t common knowledge. Audrey Hepburn was revered for her delicate stature and exceptionally tiny waist; I’ve only heard her size discussed as something that was decidedly admired.
From an anecdotal perspective, I can understand how it’s possible (for me at least) to be tipsy enough to do something that might otherwise give me pause, but still fully appreciate what I’m doing. I don’t the law, or the de rigeuer social politics of our day recognize that “vast meiddle ground”. If I had to formulate…
“Both, like Hepburn’s famous incarnation of Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, have mastered the art of transformation, from head to toe.”
I wouldn’t call her dull. She was thin because she was incredibly malnourished during WWII, and suffered a lot of health problems due to it. She did many tremendous things to assist the Dutch Resistence against the Nazis. She put herself in danger to distribute anti-Nazi pamphlets and she delivered messages for the…
Yes. But where does the comparison come from? LN doesn’t seem to have gone through a major transformation. I think she’s been chic and cutting edge since her first appearance?
She was frighteningly thin because she suffered from the effects of five years of prolonged malnutrition that left her with permanent health problems after surviving the Dutch famine during World War II. (She was also a heavy smoker but so was kind of everyone.)
thin you say:
As an actress, I don’t really have an opinion of her. I honestly haven’t seen much of her work. She was an amazing philanthropist, though. During WW2 she worked as courier for the Dutch resistance and danced for secret fundraising events. After she retired from acting she was the Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF and…
No, she was a bad-ass, incredibly enlightened humanitarian. Audrey forever.
It’s because Audrey Hepburn is Peak White Girl*, and therefore the biggest possible compliment they could give to Lupita.
Generous, actually.
Vogue also named Kim and Kanye “Best Dressed” so what the fuck do they know.
I have a feeling Vogue thought they were being really awesome, comparing Lupita to Audrey.
Let’s not forget that Jonah Hill’s character’s plan is explicitly to get Emma Stone’s character drunk so he can have sex with her. Which is rape.
The World’s End was definitely the better apocalyptic film that year.
Oh no, I’ve met a lot of people who legitimately love movies like Superbad and Fight Club and not for the satirical content. And yeah you would think Fight Club is pretty obvious a satire of terrible bro-culture but you would be surprised how dumb people are that think Tyler Durden is a great role model.
I remember being around 10 years old and seeing Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure for the first time and thinking the scene where Bill finds out Ted isn’t dead, they hug and then both say “fag” at the same time was the funniest thing ever. My parents quickly disabused me of that notion the first time I tried that word…
