You have to tell us about that extra dvd when you watch it.
I still have yet to watch Sabrina and Roman Holiday.

I loved her look in Sabrina-the bangs and perky ponytail and tons of mascara.Looks much better on Audrey than anyone else!

I read about her experience with Breakfast at Tiffany's (well I've read all books about her in English,haha) she only had given birth to her son three months before filming started,she had to lose weight, she was such a delicate person and had had several miscarriages before Sean.It was a great role for her, but seems that Mel Ferrer pushed her too much instead of letting her enjoy her son and be at home.

In the new UK Vogue supplement there is a beautiful image of Audrey I don't recall having seen -
I don't have a scanner to scan it though, sorry.

NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Audrey Hepburn once declared her look was "attainable" and an upcoming auction of some of the fashionable film star's wardrobe will make that possible.
Some 35 dresses, gowns, separates and other items will be sold at a London auction on December 8 at the largest sale of clothing that belonged to the actress, who won an Oscar for her first starring role as a runaway princess in "Roman Holiday,
Hepburn, who is also known for roles as divergent as cockney Eliza in "My Fair Lady" and a terrorized blind woman in "Wait Until Dark," had "a purity and an innocence and a vulnerability that made her especially attractive," said Kerry Taylor, the fashion auctioneer who is offering the collection.
"She personified that svelte, chic, minimal, European look of the post-war period," Taylor said at an exhibition of the items. "And she was a firm believer that less is more."
Among the highlights is a haute couture cloque silk dress by Givenchy, the designer with whom Hepburn was most closely linked, which she wore to promote "Paris when it Sizzles."
"It was a terrible film, but the clothes were marvelous," Taylor said.
The dress is estimated to sell for $17,000 to $25,000, but could fetch far more. Hepburn's clothes are not often available at auction. Recently offered designs sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The sale stemmed from a June phone call to Taylor by Hepburn's lifelong friend, Tanja Star-Busmann, to whom the actress gave much of her clothing over the years before her death in 1993 at age 63.
The actress always "hated waste," Taylor noted.
She said 50 percent of the proceeds from the sale held in conjunction with Sotheby's will be donated to the Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund and UNICEF, for which she worked during her final years.
Another highlight is a black cocktail dress estimated at about $30,000.
Worn by Hepburn in the glossy 1966 caper "How to Steal a Million," the Givenchy Chantilly lace number will afford the buyer a primer in how to look like a million -- or at least a bit like Hepburn.

This is exciting! I want all 35 of these beautiful dresses. Unfortunately I don't live anywhere near London and I doubt I could afford a single thing.

^ Dangit, maybe I'll win the lottery and be able to afford all those wonderful clothes.
