\n\tMore than 70 years after her onscreen breakout, Audrey Hepburn<\/a>\u2018s legacy is an indomitable Hollywood presence to attempt to recreate onscreen. <\/p>\n

\n\tWith upcoming films starring Lilly Collins and Thomasin McKenzie<\/a> as the late 2x Oscar winner, Hepburn\u2019s sons recently shared their curiosity about the upcoming projects, with Sean Hepburn Ferrer revealing his work with Collins on her portrayal.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019ve had several talks about it, and I\u2019ve told her that I think she should do something,\u201d Sean told People. \u201cI\u2019ve suggested several things to Lily that have made her giggle and laugh.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn February, Collins signed on to play Audrey Hepburn<\/a> in Sam Wasson\u2019s bestselling book Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.: Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany\u2019s and the Dawn of the Modern Woman, which documented the making of 1961\u2019s Breakfast at Tiffany\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\n\tSean added, \u201cI\u2019ve known Natalie Portman since she was 14 and she\u2019s a fantastic person. I\u2019m close to Rooney Mara [once attached to a Luca Guadagnino-helmed biopic<\/a> about Hepburn], who\u2019s also a delightful girl. But Lily is something special.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWith McKenzie playing Hepburn<\/a> in Dinner with Audrey, which premiered at Cannes in May, about her longtime friendship with designer Count Hubert de Givenchy (Ansel Elgort), Sean noted, \u201cI don\u2019t know much about the project, but it sounds sweet. McKenzie seems like a very serious young actress. I\u2019ve got my fingers crossed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHepburn\u2019s younger son Luca Dotti agreed, \u201cI\u2019m a curious bystander and I would love to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c[Collins] has forever been named as a possible successor of my mother, because of her looks and her talents, and Emily in Paris, and because of the fashion,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\n\tKnown for her roles in Roman Holiday (1953), Sabrina (1954), Funny Face (1957), Breakfast at Tiffany\u2019s (1961) and My Fair Lady (1964), as well as her years of humanitarian work as a Goodwill Ambassador of UNICEF, Audrey Hepburn died of cancer at age 63 in 1993.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More than 70 years after her onscreen breakout, Audrey Hepburn\u2018s legacy is an indomitable Hollywood presence to attempt…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":640615,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[268],"tags":[78414,57711,434,203867,18,117,19,17,43284,30106],"class_list":["post-640614","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-audrey-hepburn","tag-biopic","tag-celebrities","tag-dinner-with-audrey","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-lily-collins","tag-thomasin-mckenzie"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/117106890979822870","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640614","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=640614"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640614\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/640615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=640614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=640614"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=640614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
