The World's Beauty Queen

 

Audrey Hepburn was born May 4, 1929 and died January 20, 1993. 

She was a British actress and considered a humanitarian.

She was recognized as both a film and fashion icon in her time. 

Hepburn was an actress from 1949 through 1989.

She then was a humanitarian from 1954 through 1992. It was said she had two spouses.

One was named Mel Ferrer she married him 1954, had her two sons named Sean and Luca Ferrer, and divorced him in 1968. 

She then married Andrea Dotti in 1969and divorced him in 1982.

After having these two spouses in her lifetime she never married again but did have a relationship with a man named Robert Wolders until she died.

When she was younger, she spent most of her childhood in Belgium, England and the Netherlands. She studied ballet.

Audrey first started to be a chorus girl in musical productions and then appeared on small films.

She rose to stardom in the romantic comedy called, “the Roman Holiday.” She stared in this movie in 1953.

For this movie, she was the first actress to win an Oscar, a Golden Globe Award, and a BAFTA Award for a single performance.

After this movie, she stared so many more and won many more awards in her lifespan.

What shocked me to find out was how Hepburn was thirty-one years old when playing the character Holly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

She was playing a girl to be nineteen years old when her character meets Paul. Audrey still looked so young in this movie.

It was known that she wore custom made dresses by Givenchy who was the founder of Hubert De Givenchy.

When not in the screen she wore pedal pushers and simple, unadorned tops into an art. Her style moments made history, she was inducted to the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame.
