24 Frames of Dreaming

She was a chic, sophisticated surprise; an exotic figure in a very chauvinistic business. Everyone on the set of Roman Holiday was in love with Audrey. We did that one picture together and I think it was the happiest experience I ever had on a movie set. There were a lot of tender feelings that we projected onto the screen. Audrey was absolutely stunning and perfect in the role. I told my agent I wanted her to co-star because it was obvious she was going to be big and maybe win the Academy Award. Lots of people thought it would go to her head but it didn’t, she thought of films as fairy-tales and being in them part of a fairy-tale existence. I think that’s why she was never tripped up by her fame.
