I Love Audrey Hepburn

Oh my gosh, I know! 🤗@Cutefeetlover

I think so, too! :)@Cutefeetlover

“...crept out of me windowsill!” I absolutely love this, too! 🤗@Mamapolo2016

😃@eftelingrose When ny daughter was eight I took her to see My Fair Lady at a nearby playhouse - it was a traveling troupe, and they were good! Later that year we drove to Delaware (from central PA) to see Oklahoma at Three Little Bakers dinner theater. The place sat 1100'guests and had about 400 wait staff. Before the show, there was an abbreviated amateur hour and if an audience member's name was drawn from a hat, they could go on stage and tell a joke, dance with the MC. They called my daughter's name and when the MC asked what she wanted to do, she said, 'Sing.' 'Really? What do you want to sing?' 'Oklahoma.'

He handed her the mike, she launched into the song, halfway through the organist chimed in with accompaniment and she finished to a standing ovation. AFTER she got back to our table, she began to shake. 😃😃😃

@Mamapolo2016 What an adorable story with your daughter as the star! 🤗 She sang “Oklahoma!”’s titular song and became the night’s sensation before the actual show started...That is so cute! Thank you for sharing this! :)

@Vivaci Thank you so much! 🤗 I am happy to hear that “My Fair Lady” is one of your favorite movies, and that Audrey Hepburn did amazingly as Eliza in this movie. What is Smile, mind my asking? I am glad that you have had the chance to sing this song, and I agree that it is a bit of a challenge to sing in a different accent, as I myself am American! Thank you so much for your kind post, and I am so happy that you enjoyed it! ☺ Also, you are so welcome for me sharing this video with you!

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON Even if you were required to read Pygmalion[i][/i] in high school, I think that you are still pretty lucky to have read it! Yes, Audrey Hepburn is incredible in "My Fair Lady", and I was first introduced to it when I was about eight or nine! Thank you so much for your additional video clip! You know, at the part 4:30, when I was little, I thought that Eliza said, "Come on, Dover, move your bloomin' arms!" instead of, well, you know! Again, thank you so much! :)

@eftelingrose I love precious memories from childhood. They are pristine and true.
Thank you for sharing one.
And you are most welcome.😊🥂

Threre is a reason why for many years, Audrey Hepburn was my one and only favourite actress.
Now, I added Jodie Foster.
Audrey will always have a special place in my heart.

Did you see the movie Always? ✨
Few know of it. And I think it is a bit of a gem.
Starring also Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter and John Goodman.

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON I love memories from childhood, too! You are so welcome for me sharing that with you, as well. 😊🥂
I am glad that you love Audrey Hepburn, too, and Jodie Foster is a talented actress in addition! I best know her from when she was a little girl playing Becky Thatcher in a musical version of Tom Sawyer in the 1970’s alongside Johnny Whitaker as the mischievous protagonist! Also, Foster played an author in “Nim’s Island”, starring Abigail Breslin as Nim with Gerard Butler as her father. Unfortunately, I have never seen “Always”, but it sounds interesting, and I should check it out! Thank you for this recommendation! While I am here, I just thought that I would share with you another “My Fair Lady” clip none other than the song... “I Could Have Danced All Night”! 🤗 I wanted to originally post this addition last week, though here it is now. I have to mention that I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard this being played on the music player at the coffee shop where I work last week, shortly after I posted “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?”. However, the version being played over the system at the time was not Marni Nixon(the actress who provided most of the singing voice for Audrey Hepburn’s Eliza)’s beautiful rendition, but instead it was a man’s beautiful voice singing the song in almost a sixties “bandstand” sort-of feel. It was playing as I was getting off of work and about to clock out, but as one of my coworkers was saying goodbye to me and saw that I was still out in the lobby for another minute, I explained that I really loved this song (and still do!), and she smiled and said that she did, too. A minute afterwards, I then went back to clocking out, of course! Without further ado, though, here is the original movie version of “I Could Have Danced All Night”!

I can almost imagine being Eliza herself, and having Mrs. Pearce (who is almost like the personified version of Mrs. Pots!) saying (singing) to me “I understand, dear; It’s all been grand, dear; But now it’s time to sleep!”. On top of it, I literally couldn’t sleep in real life, and so this is why I am writing this right now! 😄 Please take care for me, and “dance, dance, dance all night”! 🤗

P.S.: I am reading Pygmalion[i][/i], and I am on page 36, where Eliza’s father Alfred Doolittle comes to Professor Higgins’s house to negotiate the living means of Eliza amongst themselves. On page 35, there is Mr. Doolittle’s famous “I’m willing to tell you. I’m wanting to tell you. I’m waiting to tell you.”! Please take care. :)

That is cool! ☺@Thevy29
