halavanaIf I was a fan before, I certainly am now. On a whim, I bought a dvd of Roman Holiday and watched it, rather nonplussed. Then I watched one of the special features - an interview of Audrey after her screen test in which they asked her about her ballet training. She revealed that during WW2, she gave dance performances to raise money for the resistance. When the interviewer asked what the Germans thought about that, she smiled her lovely demure smile and said, "The Germans didn't know about it."
Come to think of it, Christopher Lee was active for the resistance too, only in a more vigorous fashion, according to Peter Jackson.
Memorial Day is for soldiers who gave their lives for freedom, but it's also a good time to remember those backing them up. Let's hope we never need any more Audreys to dance and Christophers to, well, do whatever it was that caused him to find out what people sound like when they're stabbed in the back.
