@MissCatize I think she was ensnared in this plot by her parents. Later on she was putting up a brave front. She was probably thinking, she's supporting something good. No wonder she died with cancer. The unconscious tensions just were too much and made her sick.
I still think, she was a wonderful woman. A glorious and tragic life.
@ZenHector1 Wow - if this story is true and Audrey Hepburn was Anne Frank - how could she allow this bullshit being taught to thousands of children in schools??? ..and later she was working for unicef?
This is amazing- originally Audrey turned down the lead in 'The Diary of Anne Frank' film becuase she said it was 'too close to home' as she'd been in the same situation as Anne and had only narrowly avoided capture when working for the Dutch resistance during the war. This woman was everything: Amazing mother, actress, kind, beautiful, a hero- beyond legendary! RIP Audrey <3
She died two years before I was born. :'( But I admire her so much. Her beauty and her wisdom, it's just incredible! I wish I had a celebrity to look up to now who had as much grace as she did!
The chestnut tree that's been described by Anne has fallen this year, after a long struggle for survival. Audrey reads this part with so much insight, so much light, that in a way, she revives Anne's passion for life, and the tree that inspired her to write such wisdom at such a young age. The rest, as they say, is history. Anne, the chestnut tree, nature, God, Audrey. It could be Eden. Why do we muck it up so much, I wonder.
"I was exactly the same age as Anne Frank. We were both 10 when war broke out and 15 when the war finished. I was given the book in Dutch, in galley form, in 1946 by a friend. I read it . . . and it destroyed me. It does this to many people when they first read it but I was not reading it as a book, as printed pages. This was my life. I didn't know what I was going to read. I've never been the same again, it affected me so deeply." - Audrey Hepburn
@digdigdug1900 Thank you for the quote. Audrey Hepburn was the first choice to play Anne Frank in the 1959 film but she turned it down because it hit too close to home. I think she would have been perfect for the role. Millie Perkins did a fine job.
That was beautiful. I think when we all watch that video we all feel serenity. Anne had a beautiful outlook on life, one which we all should have. That passage couldn't have been read out better.

My sense is that Audrey realized the opportunity she missed by not playing Anne...It would have been a classic. As much as I love Audrey, her films roles tended to be lightweight and I think at the time the role of Anne was offered to her, she thought it would be an unwise career move...how unfortunate.
From what I heard, it wasn't concern over her career path that made her turn down the part, but her life. Ironically, she and Anne were the same age - born in 1929 - and Audrey had witnessed too many of the Nazi atrocities to handle the role. She said she read the diary and it destroyed her. It simply was too soon for her.
What you say is partially true; it wasn't too soon. Audey was about thirty at the time she was offered the part and was concerened about playing a teenager...she wasn't the kind of actrice who could make such a leap. But if you're interested in this, check out "the Hidden Life of Otto Frank". He talks about his meeting with her in the late 50s.
I loved Anne's language as in how she writes and I love how Audrey reads it. It's like you can imagine Anner reading it. God what happened to all the classy people
Audrey Hepburn is very beautiful. She looks like she is from the 21st century, and she is prettier than most of the female stars and fashion models of today. She is very cute and has a very pretty face. She also has the perfect figure for a woman of this century, and she is an excellent dancer. Where in the world can you find someone like Audrey Hepburn today? I honestly can't think of anyone in recent human history who can compare to Andrey Hepburn. Andrey Hepburn, I love you forever!
Wow, that was so touching for her to read from Anne Frank's diary. They were both amazing and beautiful women. I bet Audrey felt it an honour to read it. :)

i think it is very strange she reads it in english... she is born in belgium (my country) and raised in holland... she cán speak dutch (the original language) why does she refuse? :s
kennyBoyDude, the program was probably made for the international market..so she reads the english translation...but if you are old enough to remember you will know that Audrey was more than willing whenever she visited Holland, which she did quite a few times in the last years of her life...I remember seeing several interviews and shows on dutch television in the late 80's in which she made appearances and spoke fluent and perfect dutch
@Seirios15 I've never heard about this, but I doubt it too. What a strange story would that be, but I've become curious now to find out where it came from. That means I'll be googling for info about this, I like weird stories. At the moment this theory sounds as weird as the Elvis sightings or the James-Dean-never-really-died stories, none of which were true of course. ;-D
How could someone not know who ann frank is. She wrote a diary while in hiding with her family in Amsterdam during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II.
