Does Audrey Hepburn seem more healthy in this film?
Audrey Hepburn looks less anorexic and more healthy in this movie than any other I remember. Or is it my imagination?

There are two reason why she may have gained a little weight.
1. She was pregnant but unfortunately she had a riding accident while filming The Unforgiven and she ended up having a miscarriage.
2. She rested a lot because of her broken back (the accident), when she normally would be very active and take a lot of walks.
It is also because of the traumatic event that Mel Ferrer brought her the fawn Ip (short for Pippin), from the movie Green Mansions to keep as a pet while resting at home.
Anyway, she wasn't anorexic. She ate as much as anybody else...

She may not have been anorexic. But scenes in "My Fair Lady" where she is in her ball gown her spinal bones are sticking out grotesquely. She definitely appeared way too thin to me.
shareYeah, she was very thin, but she was not anorexic. She exercised a lot! But she also had a sweet tooth and was known for eating chocolate. After a traumatic experience and food shortage in Holland during WWII, she was known never to turn down food. Some people are just lucky genetically I guess, because at no point in her life was she anything but thin.
shareEnvy, envy?
Let's call her slender.
In addition to her wonderful talents and gentle manner
she was extremely beautiful.
I think Audrey Hepburn was at her most beautiful and glamourous in this movie. Also in BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S (1961). I greatly admire her, she was one of the all-time great naturally beautiful actress movie stars, like Elizabeth Taylor.
