- Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with the son of the Legendary Audrey Hepburn, Sean Hepburn Ferrer
About Harvey's guest:
One of the most popular features of our show is our “Gone But Not Forgotten” series, in which we honour and celebrate the greatest Hollywood legends. Today’s guest, Sean Hepburn Ferrer, is the son of one of the most talented, respected, revered and beloved cinematic legends and humanitarians: Audrey Hepburn.
In classic films like “Roman Holiday”, “Sabrina”, “War and Peace”, “Funny Face”, “Love in the Afternoon”, “The Nun’s Story”, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, “The Children’s Hour”, “My Fair Lady”, “Wait Until Dark” and many more, Audrey Hepburn dazzled, inspired and enchanted us. And she captivated our hearts with her iconic beauty, vulnerability, sincerity and incomparable empathy, which underscored and motivated everything she did.
She received 5 Academy Award nominations and won the Oscar for Best Actress for “Roman Holiday”. And after her passing, the Academy bestowed the Jean Herscholt Humanitarian Award upon her, posthumously, which our guest accepted on her behalf.
Audrey Hepburn was one of the first people to be an EGOT winner. She won an Oscar, a Grammy, an Emmy, and 2 Tony Awards. She also won dozens of other awards including 3 BAFTA Awards and 3 Golden Globe Awards, including the Cecil B. DeMille Award. And the American Film Institute named her the third greatest female screen legend of all time. She was the first celebrity to have her own fragrance, called “L’interdit”, created by Givenchy in 1967. But beyond all of that - beyond her iconic beauty, glamour, fashion sense, elegance and warmth, there was Audrey Hepburn the monumentally generous humanitarian. She was the truly the walking definition of “the milk of human kindness”. She never forgot that, immediately after the war, an organization which later became UNICEF, brought food, medicine and clothing to her community in Holland, where she lived as a child during the Nazi occupation.
And so, in the last 6 years of her life, as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, she made numerous trips to the world’s most impoverished and war-torn countries, especially in Africa, advocating passionately and tirelessly on behalf of the children being devasted by disease, famine and genocide. President George Bush Sr. presented her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of her contribution to humanity. And if you go to the UNICEF Headquarters in New York, you will see a beautiful statue called “The Spirit of Audrey”.
Our guest, who is the son of Audrey Hepburn and the iconic actor, director, producer and writer, Mel Ferrer, has had a successful career in the film industry for many years. Shortly after his beloved mother passed away in 1993, he and his brother Luca created he Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund, a charity that continues the humanitarian work and honours the legacy of his dear mother. He’s been touring the world with his exhibition, entitled "Intimate Audrey", raising funds for his non-profit organization. In 2003, he released a wonderfully poignant book entitled, “Audrey Hepburn: An Elegant Spirit: A Son Remembers”, and all of his royalties went to the Audrey Hepburn Children’s Fund. And in 2020, he and his wife Karin, published “Little Audrey's Daydream”, a children's book about his mother’s childhood in Nazi-occupied Europe. Proceeds from the book benefit the European Organisation for Rare Diseases.

When I decided to launch our show, it was a top priority that we include a “Gone But Not Forgotten” series featuring the children of legendary stars. It’s been immensely gratifying that so many of these “privileged offspring of the elite” (as one of our fans calls them) have entrusted me with their parents’ legacies. Audrey Hepburn was certainly one of the greatest cinematic legends in screen history, and having her son Sean on our show was a great honor. There were moments during the interview that I felt his mother was actually speaking through him. His comments to me at the end of the interview, calling me “illustrious”, will ring in my ears forever!
I love these interviews because you focus on the positives-- you're not interested in scandals and feuds, you talk about what made them great and why we still love these stars decades after they first made their mark.
Thank you so much for watching our show! I appreciate you so much !
The late great mother, actress, humanitarian and fashion icon Audrey Hepburn is sorely missed around the world! Thankfully, her foundation and films are keeping her wonderful spirit alive even after all these years! May she rest in peace on the Other Side! Like the late great actress/humanitarian and mother Elizabeth Taylor stated when Audrey passed on..."God has another beautiful angel" Audrey though not perfect who fought her own demons, was an angel in disquise here on Earth! Thanks for a great interview with her beloved son Sean who keeps his mother's legacy alive!
I greatly appreciate your beautiful comments. Thank you so much. ❤️
@@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980 You are most welcome!
Growing up, I was always self-conscious of my long swan like neck and pixie haircut. But when people in school compared me to Audrey H. -- I knew that it was a compliment.
It certainly was!!!
Another outstanding interview Harvey. Not only did you manage to reveal the real beauty and complexity of Audrey Hepburn in this interview with Sean Ferrer, through your questions you unveiled the legacy of empathy and selflessness that she imparted to her son who honours her in his continuing efforts to make this a better world.
Thank you so much Marjoh for your very kind and heartfelt comments! You gave me goosebumps!!❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful interview of the son of the lovely Audrey Hepburn.
Thank you so much for watching this very special episode of our show
Without a doubt, Miss Hepburn had the most beautiful soul and gracious being, inside and out, of any actress, or human being, in the entire world.
I agree 100%
Amazing Harvey your in depth research can only say how prepared ÿou were. I can't imagine the number of hours it took to get ready but as always you are dedicated and professional. Couldn't be prouder. Love you Lida
@lidagreenaway3588 my dear Lida you have brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for your support and love.
Y E S !
@user-qn4hf3xp2x yes indeed!!
This interview was nothing short of fascinating. We ALL love Audrey Hepburn and her son, Sean was so interesting to listen to. You know the right questions to ask, Harvey. I had the PLEASURE of meeting Miss Hepburn in the late 90's when she was in Dallas for a UNICEF benefit. Of course she was divine.
WOW you actually got to meet Audrey Hepburn!!! Did you get to photograph her? You’re the perfect photographer to do her justice. Thank you so much for watching this very special episode of our show. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
@@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980 I met her before I was taking photos. She did autograph a drawing I made of her. Thanks for those kind words.
Though my mom took me to see her in THE NUN STORY when I was in preschool, I still remembered her performance in detail when it came to TV years later. Yes, she left that good of an impression on young me.
That’s so lovely. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to post your comments on our UA-cam channel. Thank you so much for your support for our show. 🙏❤️
This is another superb episode. It is an eloquent exploration of Audrey Hepburn’s enduring recognition as a tremendous performer and as an exceptional human being. This is achieved through her articulate son’s fond personal and detailed knowledge of her and your perpetual erudite enthusiasm. Best wishes
I’m deeply touched and profoundly grateful to you for your beautiful comment. Thank you so much for your support for our show 🙏❤️
Truly enjoyed this interview. The questions asked were focused and real in a sense that you inquired about Audrey as a person and not a star. Sean exudes such calmness and articulated so well his mother’s thoughts and actions. Audrey is for me a beautiful soul and one of the most wonderful humans to ever walk this planet. ..simply a treasured 40 plus minutes of information…😊
Thank you so much for watching and for your beautiful comments! I hope you will check out our other great interviews and consider subscribing to our UA-cam channel 🙏❤️
What a wonderful program. 🌹
Thank you so much
Love Audrey!!
Please spread the word about this interview. It should go viral
Sean (and you of course) is very inspiring.
Oh thank you so much. I don’t think I’m an inspirational person but I try to produce an inspirational show
@@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980 Could we suggest celebs for you to interview?
Another excellent interview. The depth of your research and preparation is obvious and makes for an outstanding experience. Bravo.
Thank you so much!
What a beautiful, tribute and interview! Really enjoyed it!!!!
I’m so happy you enjoyed it! I hope you’ll spread the word about this interview. We’re hoping it “goes viral”🙏❤️
wonderful conversation❤
Thank you so much. I’m so glad you enjoyed this very special episode of our show ❤️
Great interview as usual!
That is so very kind of you. Thank you so much. 🙏❤️
This was nice, thank you
Thank you!
Hi Harvey, I can't wait to watch this interview. BTW, I had a dream about you recently (G-rated of course). I am a little under 5'2" tall (or rather petite) and when I met you, you were my height! I'm sure that you stand tall amongst your peers.
WOW I don’t think anyone has ever dreamed about me. I’m actually 5’10 1/2” tall. As for standing tall amongst my peers, I can tell you that I put my heart and soul into every episode of our show, and I believe it shows. I’m very gratified that our show is widely considered to be the most popular and prestigious interview program on the internet - thanks to loyal viewers like you. ❤️
The reason she was such a wonderful human being..is because..she suffered...
I agree
So beautiful.
True!
I wished she had known Jesus. He is the way the truth and the life! I hope His grace reached down to her and she accepted Him and that she lives in Heaven with Him the one who loved her with an everlasting love.
In my opinion Ms Hepburn exemplified everything that Jesus stood for.
Audrey Hepburn was doing God work when she was here on earth working with the starving sick children of the world most people don't do an ounce of what she did what more could she have done bravo to her for her passion and commitment she did God's work rip Ms Hepburn your presence is miss on this earth❤❤❤. 9:33
