The Audrey Hepburn Children's Foundation

77 Upvotes

The Audrey Hepburn subreddit has been around for over a year now and I'm a little ashamed as a moderator that it's taken us this long to add a link in the sidebar to her Children's Fund. The fund was set up in 1994 (Audrey passed in 1993) by her sons to continue her legacy and honor the work she did as a humanitarian throughout her life.

The money donated to the fund goes to help a wide variety of organizations around the world that all have one thing in common, helping children in need.

The image in the sidebar is based on this high res photo

Here is the high res cut-out version I made:

Does anyone know exactly what this box is intended for? My sister found it at an antique shop. I probably will use it for display rather than storage, but I can’t find a listing and I’m curious what it is meant to hold. I figured someone in here would know.

Yesterday I got a kitten. I named her Audrey Alaina Lyla Looney Toon (….ill explain if you’re curious lmao.) Today, I go to my mom’s so I can get her Sunday lotto tickets (she’s 85!!) On the way to 711, I see this perfect painting of Audrey, in the god damn garbage on the side of the road. The day after I randomly got an abandoned kitten and named her Audrey. We live in a simulation lol

Steven Meisel photographed Audrey Hepburn for the May 1991 issue of Vanity Fair, with makeup by Kevyn Aucoin. It turned out to be one of the last major photo sessions of her life. By then she was spending most of her time working as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.

Anyone have an Audrey Hepburn film as their favorite film growing up?

21 Upvotes

Currently working on a book, and I have one character whose favorite film is Roman Holiday. While the story takes place in the mid-90’s, I decided not to go for the more popular Princess Bride, and felt there was something very innocently-romantic and charming about this film that might be appealing.

The one character even wishes one day to travel to Rome to see the places in the film.

She was a mother, a sister, a friend to all. As if that's not enough, she was a fount of refreshing wisdom in this conceited and selfish world. Perhaps she knew how it was to be in need, whose security was threatened and when everything else was scarce—even hope. I will always love her 🥹🫶🏼

Paparazzi picture of Audrey Hepburn

Hi everyone! So I stumbled across a paparazzi picture of Audrey Hepburn in an old magazine. Since I had never seen it before, I thought I might share it.

I'm pretty sure it's from 1959. Photo caption reads: Mel Ferrer and Audrey Hepburn have unexpectedly arrived in Montreux to spend a few days looking for a castle where they can film a movie. Here we see the couple after a tennis match.

Hope you like it!
