June 18, 1959 –
Fred Zinnemann’s quiet religious drama The Nun’s Story, starring Audrey Hepburn, Colleen Dewhurst, Dean Jagger, Peggy Ashcroft, Peter Finch, and Edith Evans, opened in NYC on this date.
The role of Sister Luke was suggested for Ingrid Bergman but Bergman herself said she was too old for the role and instead proposed Audrey Hepburn. This was one of Audrey Hepburn’s favorite of her films. It was also one of her most financially successful.
