Emma Thompson HATES Audrey Hepburn with passion.


Quote:

"I find Audrey Hepburn fantastically twee. Twee is whimsy without wit. It’s mimsy-mumsy sweetness without any kind of bite. And that’s not for me. She can’t sing and she can’t really act, I’m afraid. I’m sure she was a delightful woman – and perhaps if I had known her I would have enjoyed her acting more, but I don’t and I didn’t, so that’s all there is to it, really."

This post was presented with a Fallacy right from the start.
ET did not say HATES AH with passion.
She simply said from an Actor's view, she wasn't Skilled.
And how old is this quote? I'm sure ET might say something one day and regret having that opinion not long after.
I doubt AH would have anything but admiration for Emma and might understand what she is trying to convey.
And Emma said, If I knew her I might appreciate her more -- she seems like a delightful person.
So the OP set up a Poison Pen subject that isn't a good reflection of how these people might really feel about one another.

Wow, that's cold. I like Emma Thompson, but like Audrey Hepburn better! And seeing this quote I like Emma Thompson less!

Emma is better

Emma is indeed way better than Audrey.

Agree with Emma on this, Audrey is insanely overrated and was quite mediocre as an actress Emma is a vastly superior actress than Audrey.

Yeah but Emma is too ugly to be a leading lady, so its like comparing apples and oranges.

reply

Well, Emma is fantastically twaa, so it balances out I guess.

I don't see any hate in the quote, but Emma is correct.
