Audrey II played with Seymour's emotions to convince Seymour to kill Orin Scrivello , a sadistic evil dentist who abuses Audrey, Seymour's love interest, and also took advantage of Seymour nearly getting arrested to kill Mr. Mushnik , his boss who later adopts him before dying for food. Audrey II now enormous called Audrey , Seymour's lifelong love interest on the payphone and convinced her to come over to the shop only to eat her.
Seymour did not save Audrey in time and unwillingly, yet on her dying wishes, fed her to the blood hungry plant. Audrey II then consumed Seymour after destroying the shop, and shortly after, its leaves were sold all across America which resulted in similar situations that happened to Seymour tricking innocent people into feeding their plants people and eventually, the plants after reaching a massive size attacked and are seen destroying cities and eating people whole all over the world.
It is heavily implied that the Audrey II's managed to eat everyone in the world, including the audience watching the film. However, in the theatrical ending, Seymour saves Audrey in time before he challenges the monstrous plant in a final showdown, and barely escapes death by electrocuting it. With Audrey II and its newly blossomed buds who work as back-up singers during Audrey II's song in the show-down, Mean Green Mother From Outer Space being fried alive from the electrical wires, the plant exclaimed a surprised "Oh shit!
This is presumed on account of the ending of the movie where hidden in the happy, little garden in the front lawn of Seymour and Audrey's new home, is a new, baby-like version of Audrey II that gives a wicked, "I'll be back" smile to the audience before the credits roll.
According to a behind the scenes interview, Audrey II is from a planet of carnivorous plants who are sent to different planets to destroy them in the way Audrey II intended. How the plant came to earth is not completely understood, but it is known that it came to the planet through an eclipse of the sun and an unworldly strike of green "lightning". It could be speculated that the eclipse was caused by Audrey II's spacecraft of some kind. The film has never explained any of the alien race which Audrey II is a species of, yet Seymour thought of the plant as a type of Venus Flytrap.
What is known is that at least two of the alien plants were on Earth in the theatrical ending, where Audrey II and a smaller alien plant in Seymour and Audrey's garden lawn at the end of the movie. In the original ending, it was said thousands of them were sold, but it is unknown how many survived into adulthood.
In infancy, Audrey II did not have the ability to speak or, at least, was so malnourished that it did not have the strength but had the ability to move around its' mouth in and slightly move its' body. It also had the ability to make sucking noises, as a way to tell Seymour it was thirsty. However, Audrey II's offspring or buds were able to talk and sing as back-up singers during Mean Green mother From Outer Space, adding "Aaaahh"s, even though they were "newborns" during their singular scene, suggesting that they were simply extensions of Audrey II rather than independent beings.
Audrey II has its own charming, funky, and almost sweet-talking power of persuasion, which easily hides its sinister intentions. In short, this plant, the only one of its kind on Earth, is an evil genius that could easily take advantage of Seymour's disposition. While the voice used for Audrey II is male in most portrayals, there is much debate about the actual gender of the plant.
It is strongly suggested that Audrey II has no sort of human gender, as most plant species including Venus Fly Traps do. One would also do well to remember that Audrey II is an alien, and if it does have a gender it still may not pertain to human sex concepts. According to legend, the teenaged Hepburn did what she could to support the Resistance. During her screen test for Roman Holiday , she recalled performing ballet for audiences that were afraid to applaud because they didn't want the Nazis to catch them.
She donated the money she earned from her recitals to the Resistance. Like many other Dutch children, she occasionally acted as a courier, delivering papers and money from one group of resistance workers to another. Children were given this work because the Nazis were unlikely to search them. Hepburn's Hollywood handlers would publicize her bravery during the war, but they did their best to hide the fact that her parents were rooting for the Nazis.
Hepburn's father, Joseph, who abandoned her when she was a little girl, and her mother, Ella, were members of the British Union of Fascists. In , they toured Germany with other members of the organization, including the notorious Mitford sisters, British aristocrats who were jailed for their Nazi sympathies. Joseph was investigated by the British House of Commons for receiving seed money to start a newspaper from Germans with ties to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. He was imprisoned as an enemy of the state for the duration of the war.
During the s, it would have been disastrous for Hepburn's squeaky clean image if it were known that her parents were Nazi sympathizers.
Hepburn had cemented her position as America's Sweetheart by the time she began filming Sabrina. Little did the public know that her relationship with her costar William Holden was anything but innocent. Their strong on-screen chemistry blossomed into an off-screen affair. Holden was a notorious womanizer, and his wife, Ardis, usually tolerated his indiscretions because she believed they were meaningless flings.
Holden even used to introduce his wife and his mistresses to each other. However, Ardis immediately realized that the educated, glamorous Hepburn was a threat to their marriage, as Holden was indeed prepared to leave his wife for the starlet.
There was only one problem: Hepburn desperately wanted to have children. When she told Holden she dreamed of starting a family with him, he informed her that he had gotten a vasectomy years ago. She dumped him on the spot, then quickly rebounded with actor Mel Ferrer, who was as eager to procreate as she was.
Paramount, concerned that the tabloids might reveal Holden and Hepburn's affair, forced Hepburn and Ferrer to announce publicly their engagement at Holden's house in the presence of both him and his wife. That must have been the most spectacularly awkward party ever. Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe 's images were diametrically opposed to each other. Monroe was the voluptuous, ditzy sexpot while Hepburn was sophisticated and elegant. In fact, Truman Capote , who wrote the novel Breakfast at Tiffany's , wanted Monroe to play Holly Golightly in the film because he thought she would be more believable as a call girl.
The character had to be changed significantly to fit Hepburn, though the result was an iconic, influential film. If the two actresses ever went out for cocktails together, they might have discovered that they had a common ex: President John F. When JFK was still an unmarried senator, he dated Hepburn. Their relationship was neither scandalous nor serious.
Monroe became Kennedy's mistress during his presidency and famously sang a sultry version of "Happy Birthday" to him at his birthday party. The next year, Hepburn was the movie star tasked with singing to the president on his birthday. Nobody remembers that far more appropriate performance. Hepburn is one of the 14 people who have managed this feat. She retired from acting long before it became acceptable for movie stars to take TV roles. The series premiered on January 21, , the day after her death.
