The Audrey Hepburn HALF Story
I really liked this movie, except for Jennifer Love Hewitt. The actress playing the Baroness was absolutely perfect, and the Head Mistress was a strong character as well. But Jennifer, no.Though they had many items from Audrey's history, they seemed to be missing the most important ones, and getting some other facts wrong. I think what happened was that the author of the script was doing a wonderful job, but then got to 2 hours and realized he couldn't make it any longer, so he just added the finishing touches and cut out a lot from her history.JLH did have brown hair and brown eyes and was quite skinny, but Audrey was so much thinner. JLH had a very different "body structure"than Audrey did. Also, JLH, if you cannot do a good accent, don't try.I liked the movie, all in all. But....they didn't put enough emphasis on what she thought was probably her greatest accomplishment, her humanitarian work. They ended in the middle of Audrey's career and just did a small blip on her humanitarian work. Whatever happened to the rest of her movies? I can't wait until someone has enough money to make a movie that goes throughout her life and does it accurately from start to finish. Though it might be four hours, there are people like me who wouldn't care, as long as it was accurate and all there. I think Audrey would have been pleasant about it, yet disappointed at the brief mention of her sons and her humanitarian work. I still love Audrey, though!
