motto:”The life that we are living is a result of our own decisions… I’m half-Irish, half-Dutch, and I was born in Belgium. If I was a dog, I’d be in a hell of a mess!”

“Audrey Hepburn passed-away 20 years ago, on Jan. 20, 1993… She left Hollywood at age 34 at the height of her fame, moving into a 1732 farmhouse in Tolochenaz, a small Swiss village, where she found happiness raising two sons and purpose in her charity work for UNICEF. Two decades after her death from abdominal cancer at 63, on Jan. 20, 1993, her children and her last love remember THE Audrey they adored. She captivated the world with her doe-eyed beauty, but behind the Givenchy glamour, there was an Audrey Hepburn few people knew. She thought her nose too big, her feet too large and her neck too long. She loved to shop for groceries (but not clothes), didn’t wear makeup at home, never went to the gym and enjoyed two fingers of Scotch every night. “She was not this ethereal creature,” says Robert Wolders, 76, the Dutch actor who was her companion for the last 13 years of her life. “She was an earthy woman with a ribald sense of humor.” What Hepburn had, adds Wolders, “was more than beauty. It was this extraordinary mystique.”

Some of her famous quotes:
“Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’! Paris is always a good idea.”

“I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.”

“The most important thing is to enjoy your life – to be happy – it’s all that matters.”

“I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s probably the most important thing in a person.”

All her movies have been real, true jewels… My favourite one is “Roman Holiday“:”she’s a princess…” – RIP!
