How wrong he was…
On a related subject, only Hollywood could have the chesty Jennifer Love Hewitt play Hepburn.
Yeah, but if you see Roman Holiday or Sabrina … you do forget that breasts are important to a movie star.
She made you realize what was really important.
I LOVE Roman Holiday.
Oh, and Jennifer Love fucking Hewitt? SACRILEGE, I tell you.
They know no shame, she isn’t a good dramatic actress and she isn’t fit to play Hepburn.
I’m not saying I think they’re necessary, I just don’t think Hepburn was quite enough to run them out of style.
“Baltimore Boy” should love this topic.
Have you seen Roman Holiday????
Put it on the Netflix queue. :)
And we need to call in Baltimore Boy, most definitely!
It’s on the list now, which is back up to 132 movies. I had to put Ric Burns’ “New York” documentary on.
Another Gregory Peck classic!! I gotta get me on Netflix, Bill. You kind of amaze me, frankly.
It really is the best way to see some of the old classic films out there, the ones you’ll never find at Blockbuster (how many places will have Damn the Defiant with Alec Guinness?). Any television shows you’ve missed too. I may spend too much time in front of the TV now, but I have watched some great films.
Since we’re back on this subject, I’ll throw in my two cents. Size has never mattered much to me, but it’s not because I don’t care about breasts. It’s actually just the opposite – I love them in all their various forms. A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman, whether she’s flat-chested or overly well-endowed (as Audrey so exquisitely demonstrated). As far as I’m concerned, that particular feature is a wondrous gift for anyone who loves women (so long as they’re real). I think any guy or girl who complains about a specific size is being profoundly ungrateful…
MikeR:
I have heard many of my male friends say the exact same thing.
“I’m just so lucky to have breasts in my life AT ALL …”
haha
Absolutely.
;-)
No one can really portray Audrey Hepburn. When you’ve got a biopic of someone who was famous for their screen presence, naturally any actor is gonna have an uphill battle. Maybe it’s just me, but I think biopics of actors are just a waste of time, you could watch their darn movies!
And Charade is a great Audrey Hepburn movie.
I LOVE Audrey Hepburn…brilliantly talented, sophisticated & lovely. My favorite movie of hers has to be “My Fair Lady”. I first saw it when I was 6 & I was hooked for life…
On the subject of breasts: as somebody here said, beauty comes in many forms. It’s all about diversity. Unfortunately, most people in America seem to be unaware of that. I am a young, beautiful, sexy, articulate woman with VERY small breasts. For most of my life other people had me believing that flat=ugly. A lot of flat-chested/small girls grow up feeling this way & being embarrassed about their unique beauty. They (unfairly) feel left out of a lot of things.
I personally believe it’s okay for people to have their preferences but not at the expense of putting down those who don’t fit their definition of beauty. I’ve seen busty women with hideous faces & out-of-shape bodies and I’ve seen flat-chested women who were absolutely beautiful. It pretty much depends on quality, not quantity when it comes to breasts, IMHO. Everyone is built differently & that should be appreciated.
