Audrey Hepburn was perhaps the most utterly charming
movie star of all. Born in Belgium and educated in London, she
trained as a ballerina before becoming a model and soon moved
on to small roles in British films. After being spotted in France
by Colette, the author of Gigi, she was given the lead in the
Broadway adaptation of the novel and her career took off. She
was an accomplished actress as well as a great beauty, succeeding
in both light comedy and more emotionally complex roles. Her elfin
beauty, quick wit, and extraordinary poise quickly established
Audrey
Hepburn as an icon of European elegance, a sophisticated contrast
to the carnal appeal of most American screen goddesses, and her
Givenchy-clad figure defined chic for a generation. Audrey
Hepburn films include
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Sabrina
Charade
Funny Face
My Fair Lady
Roman Holiday
The Nun's Story
How to Steal a Million
Wait Until Dark
