Audrey Hepburn: Remembered (1993)
Audrey Hepburn was one of movies best-loved stars, blessed with beauty, talent, an elegant sophistication, and an enduring aura of youthful innocence. As Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, she spoke for the world's suffering children and families, earning an affection and admiration that only increased with news of her untimely death. From the star herself we learn of her career, and the family and friendships that were her priority. Directors Billy Wilder, Blake Edwards and Stanley Donen, composer Henry Mancini, actors Gregory Peck, Mel Ferrer, George Peppard and Roger Moore, fashion designer Hubert de Givenchy and others, join Rob Wolders and Sean Ferrer to help complete this loving portrait. With clips from "Roman Holiday", "Sabrina", "War and Peace", "Funny Face", "Breakfast at Tiffany's", "Charade", "My Fair Lady", "Two For the Road", "Robin and Marian" and more.
"Audrey Hepburn: Remembered", a 60-minute documentary from Suzette Winter and Gene Feldman, was hosted by Roger Moore, a long time friend of Audrey Hepburn. The two first met in late 1940s while modelling for fashion and knitting magazines and playing bit parts in movies. Although they never had a chance to work together in film as stars, in 1951 they played bit parts in "One Wild Oat", contemporary farse starring Stanley Halloway. In 1991 Roger Moore was introduced by Audrey Hepburn to UNICEF. That was when he joined her in the role of Goodwill Aambassador in a tireless work in support of children in need.
In "Audrey Hepburn: Remembered" Roger Moore appears on two occasions. First as a host at the begining of the film and then at the end as one of the interviewed guests. It's worth noting that in early 2001 Moore appeared in another biography show dedicated to Hepburn - the "Hollywood Greats" series episode. "Audrey Hepburn: Remembered" was shown on A&E on August 11, 1993. It was released on video year later. In 1994 the film was nominated to Emmy award as an Outstanding Informational Special. It is now available on DVD in expanded edition, with additional scenes.
