Writing-In-Role as Audrey Hepburn

A letter from Audrey to her Mother Ella van Heemstra

Dear Mother,
How are you? I’ve been good, I have amazing news! I’ve been chosen to star in a new play called Gigi! It’s very exciting! I was on the set of Roman Holiday when some French woman dressed elegantly (who I later found out was Sidonie-Gabrielle Collette) came and asked me to auditions for a movie she wrote. It all happened very fast, but I can’t wait. I’m a bit nervous to start Gigi because I have only been a main character in a play once, the only two other play I was in I was a chorus girl. What if I can’t remember my lines?
I would like to come and visit soon, in between Roman Holiday and Gigi, I will write again when I know what day is possible. If that is not possible maybe you could come visit me, it is beautiful in Rome, and we could visit all the tourist attractions that you would like. You could even meet the director of Roman Holiday and come on set to watch it being filmed. It would be very exciting! Do you have enough money to spare? If not, I could pay for it, I’ve been modeling some more and have saved most of the money I’ve earned. There is much here that I’d love to show you, so please consider it!
I will be in touch with you soon, and tell me if you are in need of money to pay for a trip to Rome.
Love, your daughter
Audrey
