The Big Picture There are some matches that seem like they were made in Heaven, and Steven Spielberg directing Audrey Hepburn is certainly one of those. At first glance, this partnership may seem strange, given that the legendary director started making waves with his movies in the 1970s, while the iconic actress had the height of her career between the 1950s and early 1960s.
Language English Studio Amblin Entertainment Run Time 2h 2m Director Steven Spielberg Release Date December 22, 1989 Actors Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter, Audrey Hepburn, John Goodman, Brad Johnson What Is ‘Always’ About? In a way, Always feels like a rather tender answer to another pilot movie of the 1980s, Top Gun. While Tony Scott's movie is all about the action and excitement of fighter jets and American exceptionalism, though, Spielberg's pilots' lives are completely different.
Who Does Audrey Hepburn Play in ‘Always’? Close Always is Audrey Hepburn's final movie role before passing in 1993. She plays Hap, the supernatural entity that instructs Pete in the ways of the afterlife, as well as how to provide inspiration for the living. She is the one who assigns Pete to Ted as the person in need of such inspiration, leaving him clearly distraught once he connects the dots about what's happening on Earth.
Hepburn continued to provide inspiration even after she was done with the movie industry. She donated most of her earnings from Always to UNICEF, for which she had been appointed a Goodwill Ambassador the same year the movie came out. In 1994, one year after her death, she also achieved EGOT status, winning an Emmy and a Grammy for her work between, 1989 and 1993.
