Audrey Tautou as modern Audrey Hepburn

With luminous hazelnut eyes and endless charm, Audrey Tautou could be our modern Audrey Hepburn.

Hepburn captured the nation’s heart with her acting skills, classy intelligence and European sophisticated looks. No one can ever replace this great actress and her iconic style. However, we can be fascinated by the beauty, charm and mystique of young Audrey Tautou.

Both actresses seem closest when comparing Holly with the mysterious Amelie Poulain from Amelie. Tautou plays a young French girl who lives half in and half out of reality, often imagining alternate realities or wondrous events in her own somewhat mundane life. Like in many of the roles Hepburn played before her, the appearance of a man in her world shakes things up and pulls her out of her sleepy existence.

Both are impulsive, even careless at times; even though they were acting in these films, it is the women behind these roles that brought the depth to these characters. They are very alike, as both have cats they deeply love, both reach out as best they can to the men around them, and both are seemingly strong and headstrong women, who prove to be somewhat fragile in the end.

Both are charming and glamour…
