How Audrey Hepburn's family is involved in the process of creating a new biopic about the actress

Ferrer admitted that he has already met Collins several times, who will embody the image of his mother on the screen. According to him, they discussed in detail the future film and Audrey herself — not as a global movie star, but as a person.

Ferrer noted that he does not consider it possible to completely repeat the personality of his mother, but he is sure that a good actor can convey her inner world. That's why during the conversations he shared with Collins personal memories and details that are not found in books or interviews.

Ferrer spoke especially warmly about the actress herself. Although other famous performers, including Natalie Portman and Rooney Mara, had previously embodied Hepburn's image in various projects, he called Collins special.

The youngest son of the actress Luca Dotti also supported the project. He noted that he had long heard the name Lily Collins among the possible candidates for the role of mother, not only because of her physical resemblance, but also because of her acting talent and connection with the fashion world.

From Roman Holiday to humanitarian mission: Why Audrey Hepburn became a movie legend

Audrey Hepburn was born on May 4, 1929 in Brussels. The future actress spent her childhood in Europe during World War II: she spent part of the war years in the occupied Netherlands, where she experienced hunger and deprivation. After the war, Hepburn dreamed of becoming a professional ballerina, but soon switched to acting.

World fame came to her in 1953 after the release of the film "Roman Holiday". For her role as Princess Anne, Hepburn won the Academy Award for Best Actress. Later, she starred in such films as "Sabrina", "Funny Face", "The Story of a Nun", "Breakfast at Tiffany's", "Charade" and "My Fair Lady", becoming one of the main stars of Hollywood and a recognized icon of the style of the XX century.

In the last years of her life, Hepburn practically abandoned cinema and devoted herself to humanitarian work. As a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, she visited countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, drawing attention to the problems of children affected by war, hunger and poverty. For this work, the actress was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom of the United States.

Audrey Hepburn died on January 20, 1993 at her home in Switzerland at the age of 63. The cause of death was a rare form of cancer — pseudomyxoma of the abdominal cavity.
