Audrey Hepburn Was Considered To Be Highly Sensitive, Talented, and a Dedicated Humanitarian

Happy birthday Ruth Elizabeth Davis aka Bette Davis!! ♥♥♥♥

(April 5, 1908 - October 6, 1989)

I think it’s a terrible hindrance for any female to have a lot of intelligence in private life. But I think in business, sometimes it’s even worse because there’s deep resentment. No question about it. From the male side of business. We all work for men. They’re the people in charge and I think they find women easier who haven’t the ability to think for themselves or stand up for themselves. One can make more enemies as a female with a brain, I think. No question about that, among the opposite sex. But I don’t think in business it matters whether you’re a man or a woman if you can do your job and have a brain.

My first memory of Bette Davis is of a powerful image burning on a small screen. When I was a girl, in the sixties, I’d come home from school and I’d turn on the old movie channel and plunk down on the couch with my girlfriends and take lessons from Bette Davis on how to scare the hell out of a man! Some thirty years later when I received the first annual Bette Davis lifetime achievement award at Boston University, I was very very very honored. For me, Bette Davis stood out from other actresses because of her signal audacity. The audacity I’m talking about is the bravery of her work. Bette Davis seemed willing. She even had an appetite for parts that were conventionally unappealing. She changed the requirement that actresses in the movies invariably be likable or attractive. She lifted the veil of appropriate behavior in women to expose what was scary, unexpected or ugly. In other words, to do what was appropriate for the character. - Meryl Streep

Bette Davis was so important to me as a young actress. At the age of 17 starting out in Gaslight, she was my inspiration. Her performance as Mildred in Of Human Bondage was my reference point. In her home Bette has a pillow and with it the embroidery says ‘old age is not for sissies’. For Bette Davis youth, middle age, no time of life is a place for sissies. She is an original. There has never been anyone, before or since, who could touch her. - Angela Lansbury

I love Audrey Hepburn!!!!!!!!!!  My favorite quote is “I believe in...

Hi! I did some research and I can’t really find anything of the sort you mentioned. All her co stars just had good words to say about her but I can’t trace anything specifically what you asked. Below are a few quotes which are quite similar to the one you mentioned. 

”The last time I saw Audrey was in a flower shop in Gstaad, where we both had homes. I ran after her, slipped on a pile of flowers and broke my ankle. “Oh, dear, Blackie, what have you done?” she asked. “Obviously I’m not the first or the last person to fall at your feet,” I responded. I dare say all of the men who worked with her fell in love with Audrey. You couldn’t help it. She was somebody who comes along whose friendship you cherish.” - Blake Edwards, Director of Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

”Audrey was the kind of person who when she saw someone else suffering tried to take their pain on herself. She was a healer. She knew how to love. You didn’t have to be in constant contact with her to feel you had a friend. We always picked up right where we left off. She tried to teach me how to dress, and I tried to teach her how to be eloquently profane!” - Shirley McLaine, Audrey’s co star in The Children’s Hour.

”I wrote my first and only fan letter to her when she was in Ondine on Broadway. I loved her dearly. I was her No. 1 fan. Once, I happened to have a room next to hers at the Pierre Hotel in New York City. I was having a rough time, and she sat up with me and talked the whole night. Years later, when she wasn’t even nominated for an Oscar for My Fair Lady, I saw her at a dinner party, and she came over to me with tears in her eyes and asked, “Are you still my No. 1 fan?” - Eddie Fisher, Audrey’s friend.

That’s all I got. I hope this helped.
