Audrey Hepburn's Greatest Performance?

In my opinion, I think this is Audrey Hepburn's greatest performance by far. She's wonderful in films such as Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Charade, but Audrey truely shines in The Nun's Story. Anyone else agree?

Yep. It had much more substance than those rom-coms, as is what typically happens.

Bone, it is what it is.

I agree it is Ms. Hepburn's finest effort. A great performance.

I thought this was her 2nd best performance, behind My Fair Lady. I honestly didn't care much for her performance in Breakfast at Tiffany's (I thought Peppard clearly carried the film.) She was also very good in The Children's Hour (she later said this was the toughest role she played in her career.)
