As one of the world's recognized eternal beauties, Hepburn's personal emotional life is not satisfactory, although many people have been relishing her and confidant, the so-called friendship and suspected love of fashion design master Hubert de Givenchy, but as a woman who has been married three times, and in the case of three marriages are not happy, Hepburn should most likely not love Givenchy.
Hepburn with Givenchy
Hepburn's longest and most famous marriage was with the American playwright Mel Feller, who had also worked as a dancer in a Broadway musical when he was young, but by today's standards, it was definitely an average appearance, not to mention that his wife was so beautiful.
Mel Feller is 12 years older than Hepburn, and has had three failed marriages before, of course, his marriage to Hepburn was also a failure, and may have its own failed marriage genes.
By the way, designer Givenchy is only a year older than Hepburn, so this also corroborates why Hepburn did not choose Givenchy. Hepburn was abandoned by her father at the age of 6, and her strong mother raised her, but Hepburn longed for his father's love deeply in his heart. Apparently, Givenchy, who was too young, despite his gentleness and handsomeness, could not give Hepburn the "paternal" sense of security he needed.

Hepburn was only 24 years old when he met Mel Feller, and had just achieved the great success of "Roman Holiday", Hepburn was introduced to Mel Feller by gregory Parker, the male protagonist of "Roman Holiday", it was Hepburn who was the first to fall into it and could not extricate himself, many people attributed Hepburn's difficulty in self-sustaining to her lack of father's childhood, she needed a mature man to protect her and compensate for her missing father's love, at this time Hepburn, like all hot-headed girls, felt that love at first sight was enough to resist Mel Feir. Feller had previously failed into three previous marriages, believing that his love was the antidote to the invincibility of all.
Married after only a year of acquaintance with Mel Feller, a complete flash marriage, but Hepburn's mother, Ella van Hemstra, was adamantly opposed, and the wise mother predicted from the outset that Hepburn's marriage would not have a good outcome, and said in a letter to Hepburn that "Mel Feller will bring Hepburn endless times of disaster." But like all girls who think they've grown into women, Hepburn is still bent on going his own way.
Hepburn and Mel Feller's wedding was definitely very low-key in terms of her popularity at the time. On September 25, 1954, they had a private wedding in Switzerland, and the princess in the movie wore only a flower crown made of white roses and, of course, a wedding dress designed by Givenchy. There are also very few relatives and friends who come to participate, Hepburn has neither a long veil to mop the floor, nor a long skirt to mop the floor, perhaps for Hepburn, who has played a princess and a noblewoman in the movie, the plain, free, and real life is what she longs for in her heart.

In 1956, Hepburn and Mel Feller co-starred in the famous historical film "War and Peace", in which they played the couple Natasha and the Duke of Andrea respectively, which won the Oscar for best director, cinematography and costume design. Hepburn also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for his outstanding acting skills, but Hepburn's husband Mel Feller, who had the advantage, did not win the best supporting actor.

In 1959, Feller director Hepburn starred in the film "The Soul of Green Valley", which was Mel Feller's first and only film to direct Hepburn,But the film was released with a wave of bad reviews, which made Mel Feller feel even more stressed, and it turned out that he was completely incapable of controlling a wife with superb acting skills.

The most famous talk left in this movie for posterity is Hepburn's adopted animal actor because of the needs of the plot - an unanited fawn. It has to be mentioned that Hepburn was very fond of small animals, and Mel Feller gave her many pets, including two puppies and the famous fawn Ibby. These pets often appeared on various photographs circulated by Hepburn later.
In fact, as long as the film does not intervene in their lives, Hepburn and Mel Feller are still happy. The newly married couple had a short period of seclusion in Italy, and in Hepburn's view, Mel Feller was wise and knowledgeable enough to take care of her like a father.
And Hepburn in this period of time, also reclusive, daily only wear simple shirts, trousers, she is no longer like many of the photos we see, always wearing an elegant lady's top hat, wearing a canary-like gorgeous long skirt, posing a graceful manners, but truly became a simple life of a woman, she thought she was by Mel Feller's side, can be pampered like a daughter.

But this harmony didn't last long, after all, Hepburn was a first-line actress, and Mel Feller had always dreamed of becoming a husband and wife like Lawrence Oliver + Vivien Leigh, but what he could do was really too far away from Lawrence Oliver.
Lawrence Oliver starred in many major plays as an actress, including Shakespeare's The Taming of the Taming, Hitchcock's Butterfly Dream, and starred in two of Britain's most famous novels, Wuthering Heights and Pride and Prejudice, and in addition to being handsome, he was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor countless times, and finally won this award in 1949. In addition, Lawrence also successfully transformed into a director, directing a number of Shakespeare's famous plays.
A genius combination of Lawrence Oliver and Vivien Leigh
And Lawrence's wife Vivien Leigh does not need to say much, her wife Hepburn has achieved no less than Vivien Leigh's achievements in the film industry, and she is a failure.
Mel Feller began to be unable to bear this psychological loss, so he began to get more involved in Hepburn's work, he exerted a lot of influence on Hepburn as a husband, protector, director, career partner, etc., and gradually transformed into only he could decide who could shoot or interview Hepburn.
It is said that once Hepburn and the crew of "Tiffany's Breakfast" had a dinner together, Hepburn accidentally touched a fork under the table while putting his elbow on the table, Mel picked up the fork in exasperation, and scolded Hepburn loudly in public, and warned her not to put her elbow on the table, Hepburn was greatly frightened and embarrassed. She didn't say anything, just silently put her arm under the table.
This gradually suffocated Hepburn, but fortunately, in 1960, Hepburn, who had experienced two miscarriages, finally gave birth to his first son, which brought a lot of comfort to Hepburn, but the son did not save the marriage that was about to come to an end.
After the divorce, Hepburn had always felt deeply guilty about her son, she felt that she had hurt him, she never said bad things about Mel Feller to her son, and tried to avoid meeting her ex-husband again.
Hepburn was with his first son
Both, who were deeply tired of their marriage, began to cheat. Mel Feller is said to have been a frequent derailer, while Hepburn had an affair with Albert Finney in 1966 while filming Beauty. Albert Finney played the male number one at the time, and the plot is very similar to Hepburn's real life, the couple who once loved each other tired of each other, the twelve-year marriage from sweet to exhausted, Hepburn played her own real life, and she may have taken Albert Finney in the play as the embodiment of Mel Feller.
Albert Finney in his youth
The play "Beauty Walk" is known as the peak of Hepburn's mature performance, after which Hepburn gradually faded out of the film circle and shot few works. It has to be said that the marriage with Mel Feller caused great harm to Hepburn's career, as Hepburn's mother first predicted: "Mel Feller will bring you endless times of disaster." ”

In 1967, Hepburn and Mel Feller brought the divorce to the table, and finally formally divorced in '68, and within only a month, Hepburn hurriedly threw himself into the arms of the Italian psychiatrist André Dotty and hurriedly married, perhaps Hepburn needed not the marriage itself, but a kind of self-redemption.
Don't forget that At this time, Andrea Dotti is 9 years younger than Hepburn! She seems to want to use her choice of men to deny her past misconceptions about men?!
The second wedding was still a very low-key small wedding, Hepburn still wore a wedding dress designed by Givenchy, but it turned pink.
But Hepburn's second marriage ended no differently from the first, she learned the lesson and almost completely gave up her film career to avoid putting pressure on her husband, she and Andrei also had a son of their own, but André Dotty still cheated many times like her first husband, Mel Feller, and was worse than Mel.
The media even said publicly: "Dotty is the son of an adulteress, and Hepburn is a saint."
