Breakfast at Tiffany’s: The Story of America’s Sweetheart, Audrey Hepburn

She Had a Real Fear of Water

Did you know that Audrey Hepburn was terrified of water and drowning? She had a real fear of water. When she was filming ‘Two for the Road,’ there was a scene where she was thrown into a pool. It really frightened her.

That scene scared the heck out of her, so much so, that she requested that the crew members had to be in the pool, off-camera, and ready to grab her if anything went wrong. Poor thing. Something must have happened in the water when she was a kid.

Is it just me, or does Hepburn in this specific photo look a lot like Natalie Imbruglia? Remember her? She was the one-hit-wonder who sang the song “Torn.”
