Goofs:

Factual errors: Audrey Hepburn's full name was Audrey Hepburn Ruston. Thus, she would have used the last name Ruston in her younger days, and her father would be referred to as Joseph Ruston. Not, Joseph Hepburn.

Quotes:

Audrey Hepburn: [after receiving an Academy Award] I would like to thank my mother, who taught me to stand up straight, sit erect, use discipline with wine and sweets, and only smoke six cigarettes a day.

Hewitt is perfect in a great movie

Despite the controversy over Jennifer Love Hewitt's portraying Audrey Hepburn, I think it would have been impossible to have chosen an actress who would've done better than she did in this film. Her accent and attitude were perfect; she WAS Audrey Hepburn, head to toe. I really enjoyed the movie itself, also. The ups and downs of her life made for a very interesting film (oscar worthy, compared to most made-for-television movies). I'm sure the skeptics who thought that this was going to be a disaster are feeling PRETTY stupid right about now.....
