An eternity with just a dress
The recent auction of Audrey Hepburn’s dress from Breakfast at Tiffany’s brought an astounding sum of $807,000 US. I wonder what she would have said about that navy evening gown by Givenchy that she wore in the opening scene of the movie while nibbling on a Danish pastry and wearing sunglasses in the morning overcast skies? Could Audrey have ever imagined that her sense of aesthetic would be so imbibed and respected in world culture? I often wonder if it was her mother, a Baroness that advised her about attire and timeless looks. She, herself, had said that she had loved the ambience of Breakfast at Tiffany’s probably the best over all her other films. A little known fact is that Truman Capote wrote the book for the famous model Dorien Leigh who was the sister of Suzy Parker. Also hardly anyone knows that Audrey Hepburn did model her looks on those of famous fifties model Nancy Berg. Audrey Hepburn continues to be a lovemark as she has not only given us a Holly Golightly moment...but an eternity with just a dress and that screen presence. Thanks Audrey, wherever you are.

My fashion icon
Audrey Hepburn is my fashion icon. Her style and grace are timeless, as is her incomparable beauty. As I shop, I like to focus my buying decisions by asking myself, "what would Audrey do?" Just as simply as that, I can more easily decide which pair of shoes is more appropriate with my little black dress.

Epitomy of elegance
I love this Lovemark, she is the epitomy of elegance and grace. Who could have forgotten her in 'Roman Holiday' and 'Breakfast at Tiffany' not me.

Way ahead of her time
Audrey Hepburn is my Lovemark because she made us all more aware of aesthetics through her portrayals on the screen. She was way ahead of her time as she collaborated with Givenchy. They left a landmark in the twentieth century regarding appearances and clothes. In "Roman Holiday" Audrey is delightful and in "Wait Until Dark" extraordinary. With Audrey being thin was in and she gave us our Holly Gollightly moments. Audrey Hepburn was probably the only actress of her time who could actually spell "schizophrenia"!!! I miss her as the years go by all the more for her fine taste, exceptional manners and work in Unicef.

Everyone could be Audrey's fan
Audrey Hepburn is fantastic. I'm only 16 years old and my very first movie I watched of Audrey's is Roman Holiday. Once I watched that movie, I just fell in love with her. Even though I may not know much about her, I thought she was such a beautiful actress and filled with unspeakable talent. I am now trying to watch all her movies. Young or old, everyone could be Audrey's fan. She shines.

The children of humanity
A talented actress but more important was her care for the children of humanity. The one word that comes to mind thinking of her? Grace. Deserving of a Lovemark? Absolutely.

A distinctive style
I was named after this icon. I like to think that I have a distinctive style just as she did - only different. I love my name. The Anglo-Saxon origin of Audrey is Etheldred. It means bold and noble. She is one of those people whose life continues (life is eternal) to inspire and evoke strong emotional warmth just by saying her name. She stands for decency, kindness, professionalism, humanity and - what an artist!

She breaks my heart
Audrey Hepburn breaks my heart in every movie I've seen her in. I think one of my all time favorite moments in film is when she's looking for Cat at the end of Breakfast at Tiffany's and George Peppard and she kiss in the rain. I love everything about her, from her terrific fashion style to her childhood story of surviving the war...she makes you feel like you know her because she seemed so open and kind.

Not to be forgotten
Audrey Hepburn was a legendary caregiver to the needy, as well as a consummate performer. During her lifetime, she brought considerable attention to the plight of millions of people and never forgot the importance that a simple touch and a kind word could have on the life of another. She also brought respect and support to the healthcare community, particularly to those on the front lines of nursing. Her loving and real concern for the forgotten has created a legacy not to be forgotten.
