Audrey Hepburn

by Elena from Constanta, Romania


Audrey Hepburn was a beautiful, stylish Hollywood star. In 1996, the British magazine Harpers & Queen named her "The Most Fascinating Woman of our Time."

Audrey Hepburn was born in Brussels, Belgium, on 4th May, 1929. Her father was a wealthy English banker and her mother was a Dutch baroness.

After difficult times in Holland during World War II, Audrey went to a ballet school in London and later became a model. A film producer spotted her and she began to act in films.

Audrey became famous almost instantly in the USA when she won an Oscar for her role in the film Roman Holiday in 1953. She then gave other brilliant performance in popular films such as Sabrina (1954), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) and My Fair Lady (1964).

In 1988, she began to work for the United Nations, helping children in Latin America and Africa until her death in 1993.

In total, Audrey Hepburn made 31 movies. Everyone loved her and she is an inspiration to us all!
