That Audrey Hepburn neck

Audrey will forever be one of my inspirations. While the modern actresses you mention do possess some fraction of her beauty, I don't think anyone will ever come close.

Oh, and for the record, I think her namesake, Audrey Tatou, is another actress that comes maybe a little close. ;)

Ebert: Duh! Agreed. I just added her.

I can easily see how one could spend hours trailing kisses down that exquisite column of neck.

You know I never even paid attention to this. I've always felt Audrey Hepburn was one of those untouchable beauties but Audrey Tautou seems almost like a distant cousin. Jennifer Love Hewitt tried but she was way miscast in the ill-fated made for TV film on Hepburn. If they decide to try a Hepburn biopic again in the next 5 years Tautou has to be their go to gal. Granted Carey Mulligan has gone one heck of a bright future if An Education is any sort of guide.

I recited "She Walks in Beauty" on, I think, the 5th date. We've been together 10 years hence. I suppose it helps she was an English major.

In the 'quickly becoming an anachronism' category: I am 45, in a company whose average age is 32. They laugh if I use the phrase 'necking'. Do kids today (the use of which phrase makes me die a little) even bother with erogenous zones and go straight to what Tom Wolfe called the 'stiffened giblets and moist crevices'?

Ebert: If tyhey do, that may explain why some of them seem to value sex so lightly.

Well, it is very long - I can see how it could take hours to get from one end of it to the other travelling by kiss.

It's comforting to know that Roger has moments of frenzied fancy just like the rest of us!
