(Damn you, fruit vendors.) Luckily, Audrey has chocolate in her handbag to carry her over, and oh, look, there’s a man in a swanky car who wants to give her a ride — cue “Moon River” and product placement. “Our mother often spoke about her love of chocolate and how it lifted her spirit,” Hepburn’s sons wrote in an e-mail, “so we’re sure she would have been proud of her role as the face of GALAXY®.”
