smtracy82 Review of The Audrey Hepburn Story

The Audrey Hepburn Story (2000 TV Movie)

I knew that it wouldn't be worth anything and I was right

[1/10 · 26 August 2000]

As a die hard Audrey Hepburn fan I was looking forward to the story of Hepburn's life...until I heard that JLH was going to star as Hepburn. That right there did it for me...JLH is not a talented actress and was not deserving of the role of Hepburn. Not only was the acting and script corny, but JLH's accent was way off and the several sports bras that she claimed to use did nothing to flatten out her figure. I know that something as petty as breast size shouldn't be used to judge an actor's performance, but appearance does affect the presentation of the movie and JLH just did not have the body type. Of course it will never be possible to perfectly cast Hepburn's part but why didn't they look further past JLH? What about Natalie Portman? Of course, Natalie Portman probably wouldn't stoop so low as to appear in a "made for TV" movie. That's just my two cents...
