So I just put in Roman Holiday for my nightly movie viewing. As I was watching the opening credits, I caught that it says, "and introducing Audrey Hepburn."

Now I know all the stories about this, that it was her first role, that she won an Oscar for this movie, that Gregory Peck called it, etc. etc. etc.

The point I'm trying to make is that now, almost 55 years later, I'm watching this movie, and while RH was her first real role, Audrey Hepburn has long since won her Oscar, played out her career, died, and become pretty much legendary. And this is where it started.

I think that's one reason why I like watching old movies so much, is because if you pay enough attention and put it together right, it's just like watching history.
