Goofs:

Anachronisms: When Audrey is auditioning for the ballet school in London in 1947, there is a close-up of a pair of feet wearing pointe shoes. Unfortunately, these feet are wearing Gaynor Mindens, pointe shoes not introduced to the world until the late 1990's, shoes that, because of the very advanced methods in their construction, are controversial in the ballet world to this day.

Quotes:

Audrey Hepburn: [after recieving 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.

It was pretty good

I must admit that after reading all of the reviews to be horrified by JLH presentation as Audrey Hepburn. But I was somewhat surprised. I didn't think that she was the best actress available, I think Emmy Rossum should have played Audrey the entire movie, but JLH does an alright job. She doesn't do the perfect accent, but then I don't think that any actress could do the accent perfectly.

I never knew of the horrible things that happened to Audrey during her life and this movie made me cry, especially during Emmy's scenes. I have such respect for Audrey Hepburn now. The work she did made such a difference and it's sad that she is gone now.
