THE agency report of Audrey Hepburn's career in films (South China Morning Post, January 22), said that the 1957 Billy Wilder film, Love in the Afternoon, re-united her with Gregory Peck after their success in Roman Holiday.
In fact, she played opposite Gary Cooper in the 1957 film, with Maurice Chevalier in a supporting role.
It also said that one of the only controversies of Ms Hepburn's career involved her being cast as Eliza Doolittle in the film version of My Fair Lady over Julie Andrews, who had become the toast of Broadway in that role. Oscar voters retaliated by givingthe best actress award to Ms Andrews for The Sound of Music.
Permit me to point out that Ms Andrews won her Oscar for the title role in the Walt Disney production, Mary Poppins (1964).
