What a beautiful human. She wasn't a humanitarian because it was the "it" thing to do, she did it because she knew she could somehow make a difference. How on earth 10 people could dislike this video? Its beyone me to even begin to understand.

Tears well up as I remember the world's remarkably beautiful actress. Once in a very long while a star is born and there was Audrey - a genuinely kind and gentle lady. Lucky were they who became part of her life. One cannot help but admire her every act on and off screen.

@WashingtonB0y14 I completely agree with you. Audrey Hepburn is an inspiration to us all and those dislikes are a big insult to her memory and all the hard work she has done. People can be very ignorant. 

[IWishYouEnough]

A most remarkable woman with purest intent, superior talent and she used it all for the good of mankind.

@WashingtonB0y14 I agree with everything this post chooses to be, however what's wrong with humanitarianism becoming an "it" thing? It's wonderful for more and more people to give in service to others.

This woman is the reason why I watch the telly in the first place

and I count her as my only main inspiration in entertainment.

I took on the role of volunteer and activist for ALL LIFE because

of her. They just don't make them like her anymore.

Audrey Hepburn...a TRUE LEGEND & ICON.

God Bless.

Cheers! = ]

One of the top three greatest actresses of the twentieth century who gave so much and got so little in return. Sure,an Oscar and five Academy award nominations but should have also been nominated for "My fair lady", "The Children's Hour", Two for the road", "Robin and Marian" and sadly would have soared if she had done more films in the 80's and 90's, Audrey Hepburn would have been perfect in 1983's"TermsofEndearment" and 1989's"DrivingMissDaisy"",buta­las, she chosehelpingneedychildrenoverf­ilm
