Our hotel in Rome was two doors away from this apartment building (now being renovated), where Roman Holiday starring Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck, and Eddie Albert was filmed. It just so happened as we were walking out of our hotel, we saw a small group led by a guide telling them the story of how Via Margutta was closed off daily for filming the movie.
This was Audrey Hepburn film debut, for which she won the Oscar for Best Actress. We rented the movie when we returned from our trip, and heard Gregory Peck give the address to the cab driver, Via Margutta 51! We enjoyed watching the film for the for the 5th time!
Happy Wednesday!
