Her smoking was her business. What has it to do with her receiving this well-earned Bafta, I wonder. She was a class act who probably didn't notice Anne's coolness.

She looked more like a princess than the princess
She left us way too soon.

@James Henderson yes, smoking did play its part in the whole cancer thing but so did the childhood starvation, several miscarriages and other heath issues. You cant just blame it all on smoking. It was her life after all and her choises, not yours. Do some reasearch before speaking bullshit.

And still make the difference between people what`s INSIDE and not outside. But people judge you how do you look and some other imprefections, but INSIDE they don`t care, they treat you like an empty box.
So hard to believe that she died in January 1993--so soon after this awards presentation. She may have already been ill from the cancer that claimed her life but probably not wanting to "call attention" to herself suffered in silence. What a class act! Regardless of whether you liked her acting, no one can deny that her poise and grace are largely absent from this current generation of so-called stars who do nothing but call attention to themselves!

@@lenhummel5614 1992 - I was a Sailor onboard the USS Tarawa (US Navy) sailing along the coast of war-torn Somalia, Ms. Audrey Hepburn was doing humanitarian work in that nation. Ms. Hepburn was flown every night to our ship by military helicopter and flown back to the shore in the morning. Every night she updates the crew on her work as a UNICEF Ambassador and we're glad to have such a lovely human being with us. Ms. Hepburn has everything, fame and fortune,... but does such a noble work in a remote and impoverished country. Truly an angel.

Audrey is the biggest treasure that we have ever had.
I would agree, Princess Anne seems to be struggling to get into the award-giving mood! If it can be said that 'princess' is not so much a title, as it is a qualify of thought, it might be said that Mrs. Hepburn was more the princess in the room that evening.

Winston L Audrey Hepburn's mother was Ella, Baroness of Heemstra. Audrey Hepburn's brothers were noble born. Audrey Hepburn's father was, well, not a good person during the war. British Union of Fascists(BUF) was the group Roger Waters modeled his stormtroopers in _The Wall_ after. Audrey's father abandoned Audrey and her mother to be an insurrectionist. Audrey Hepburn's life story is quite astounding, associating with the Dutch Underground during the German occupation of the Low Countries, nearly starving to death, not able to get medicine, having friends die, watching a young child being sent to one of *those trains* for camp.

Cyril TV Really? Please consider the time frame AH came up in. Even as late as the early 1960's U.S. tobacco companies advertised smoking as a "healthy" activity! Even many doctors backed this claim. Especially in her world, people drank and smoked almost de rigueur. Everyone has something they can improve on in their lives. No one is a perfect person.

Audrey Hepburn has left us far too soon and we all miss her dearly. In fact, she was simply a great princess in disguise.❤😊
Can anybody possibly hate her? She has set example that more than outer beauty its the inner beauty that counts and can even change the world for good. Lets follow her footstep and legacy.
It was 1993 when she died. I remember well because when I told my mom about her passing, we both cried.

I am mesmerised watching this acceptance speech. What a lovely lady Audrey Hepburn was. A true cinema icon.
Such an elegant soul. Truly a queen.
She went to Somalia around August 1992. Upon her return, due to abdominal pain, she went for testing in Switzerland with inconclusive results. She continued on with testing in Los Angelos and in November was diagnosed with a rare form of abdominal cancer, which had metastasized after years of spreading as a thin coating over her small intestine. She underwent surgery followed by chemo but it was too late. She passed away in January 1993. I don't believe she knew about her cancer during this speech.
Beautiful at every age, the one and only Audrey Hepburn. Sophisticated, gifted actress, phenomenal humanitarian, awesome mother -- wonderful Spirit! Rest in peace.
So special and unassuming. Her work with children abroad can never be forgotten.
It breaks my heart that she died from cancer just a year after this. Such a sudden and painful death for someone so pure. I like to think to myself she “didn’t die” she just went back to heaven.

the most iconic lady of all time. ageing gracefully.
One of the most beautiful and graceful woman to have walked on the planet earth!!!
what a lovely person. i love her so much!
To bad she is no longer here the world need more Audrey. I recently had my little niece who just turned 12 to watch her in Funny face and she was in awe just like I was when I first watched it and her very first movie "Roman Holiday" she spoke about the outfits and she just was so in love with the movies we watched them at least three times or more until she went home. I love how movies like Romain Holiday and Funny face still have the same effects they had on my grandmother when she watched it with my mom to my mother watching it with me, and now getting the opportunity to share it with my daughter and nieces. I can't wait to experience Gone with the wind with her and Meet me in Saint Loui. Even though old Hollywood has it's negatives the hard work, dedication, and thought that went into each and every little detail is what made these and so many more classics magical for generations down the line.
Love Audrey- great gift for humanity.A woman of great valour
She had such an individually, lovely charismn
Great soul, rare and marvelous human being.
She tries to hide her real and genuine self but she cannot, it slips out ever now and then. This is one actor in Hollywood I can say I admire and love.
Just in Awe of her. Marvelous
the beautiful and talented Audbrey Hepburn. Always got a kick out of watching her perform. I always thought she was beautiful and graceful. Thank you Aubrey for making watching television magical.
Pure class
What a truly beautiful human being inside and out. How could anyone not love her?
She might have not lived a "long" life, but surely surely, she had lived a beautiFULL one. Audrey Hepburn, rest in beauty and peace 💖☁
Onlookers reveal the same adoration I still feel for this woman. I'm sure she had her faults, but if I'd gotten to wake up to Audrey every morning, it would certainly not have been my worst fate.
Audrey Hepburn is the 'true' princess !
Among the rare celebrities growing old gracefully without surgeries & fillers.
Audrey was more of a true princess than Anne could ever be.
A true classic that doesn't come around everyday!
They should give this angel milion awards for her briliant heart. My lovely queen😗😗😗😗😍😍😍😍
Pure class and grace!!!! Anne should have bowed to Audrey!!!
...she is simply glorious. I say she is, for she has left a lovely footprint in our hearts.
She is the epitome of beauty and grace hands down🥰🥰🥰🥰
she defines elegance and class!
A last glimpse of an exquisite beacon of love, light, and perfection.....
Wonderful person, great actress and just a speical lady . Rest in Peace Audrey xxx
the very definition of class, elegance and humility
I love Audrey Hepburn! she was SO pretty!
Don't be surprised that princess Anne seems so cold. She is upset, because she realized it's not her, who is the real princess in this room.
she was such a wonderful person who deserved a lot more time
such a class act, lovely

She was a very sweet person , and a very good actress and see no reason not to love her, as you can see her down in Africa with those children and her being Swiss, French her love for Humanity, as the Swiss had no wars for 200 years of their Neutrality make a good example in the world how a country should be run and a country that is well liked in this world, as the USA is the only one with the constitution should take as example!
I think every aspect about Miss Hepburn that I , forgive the expression but it’s true, worship, has already been inscribed many times over. It’s just nice to express my feelings! Thank you. If the world were filled with her mindset…. She really is an icon and grace, poise. And generosity.
So stunning and classy until her last days. RIP. ♥️
