Audrey Hepburn Rises From The Dead To Sell Chocolate Bars

Poor Audrey Hepburn. While fellow dead icons like Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly and Marlene Dietrich appeared with Charlize Theron in Dior’s J’Adore commercial, the Breakfast at Tiffanys actress rises from the dead to hawk milk chocolate. Not nearly as glamorous, but I’m sure pretty lucrative for her estate. Her children Sean Ferrer and Luca Dotti stated that their mother was a chocolate fan and would’ve been “proud” to be in the ad. Yeah, right!!! Lol.
The Hollywood legend is the new face of Galaxy chocolate. Hepburn is digitally resurrected using footage from her iconic flick Roman Holiday. She’s shown riding in a bus, but ditches it when she sees a hottie in a sleek convertible. The two then ride off enjoying the Almafi coast and Galaxy chocolate of course.
This isn’t the first time Audrey rose from the dead to shill product. Since her death in 1993, she’s appeared in ads for Gap and Ikea. I wonder what will be next. It’ll be interesting to see if this endorsement deal puts her in Forbes Top 10 Earning Dead Celebrities For 2013. She didn’t make last year’s cut. Check out the commercial below.

I think these are done in good taste. She looks good, didn’t have to do anything, keeps her name in the public eye, and her family can make a few bucks off it.
It’s every parent’s desire that their offspring be comfortable. Who wouldn’t approve?

I thought i was going to hate it, it wasn’t so bad. i still find the idea of CGIing dead celebs into commercials tacky and kind of creepy.

Honestly, I expected to dislike it, but it resurrects her youthful spirit in addition to her likeness. It’s very well done, and the addition of ‘Moon River’ works perfectly. I’m going to buy some Galaxy chocolate now … :)
