“...It was at the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo while I was watching a rehearsal on the set of the film “Monte Carlo Baby” that I noticed a girl playing a small part. I was immediately fascinated. I approached her and asked her if it would be possible to go out on a photo session to some picturesque backgrounds. She accepted and we went out the following day in my small two-seater Mathys car model 1930. I found out that her name was Audrey Hepburn. She had been a dancer and had done some small parts in films, but was unknown to the general public. When I showed Audrey the contact prints of the photographs the next day, she was very excited and said she had never been photographed in such a variety of poses. She asked could she send them straight away to her agent in Hollywood, of course I agreed. He showed them to the Paramount heads and she was asked to go to America for a screen test and consequently got the leading part in the film “Roman Holiday”....
