About Funny Face
Dispatched on an assignment, New York City-based fashion photographer Dick Avery (Fred Astaire) is struck by the beauty of Jo Stockton (Audrey Hepburn), a shy bookstore employee he's photographed by accident, who he believes has the potential to become a successful model. He gets Jo to go with him to France, where he snaps more pictures of her against iconic Parisian backdrops. In the process, they fall for one another, only to find hurdles in their way.

The Chicago Tribune first reported Donen's death, citing one of his sons, Mark.
A former Broadway dancer, Donen moved into cinema as a choreographer, then as a director.
He translated his love for dance to the big screen with The Help of Kelly and Fred Astaire . Singin' in The Rain was named The Greatest movie musical of all time by The American Film Institute in 2006.
Singin' in The Rain starred Gene Kelly and Debbie ReynoldsEdgar Wright , who directed films including Hot Fuzz , paid tribute to the breadth of Donen's work, from musicals to thrillers, while Mission Impossible filmmaker Christopher Mcquarrie said that Donen "understood when to move and when To Let others do the moving".
In 1998, Donen was awarded an honorary Oscar by director Martin Scorcese "in appreciation for a body of work marked by grace, elegance, wit and visual innovation".
In his acceptance speech, he performed an impromptu song and dance routine while clutching his Oscar.
The Key to a successful film, he once said, was a great script, great songs and great actors. "When filming starts, you show up and you stay the hell out of the Way . "
