Audrey Hepburn: Hollywood's all-time best
Audrey Hepburn was one of Hollywood's all-time greatest actresses. But she was much more than a star. When she died in 1993, the world lost a great beauty, a great actress, and a great humanitarian.
Hepburn was born in Belgium on 4 May 1929. As a child, she loved dancing and dreamt of becoming a ballet dancer. Sadly, World War Ⅱ ended that dream. After the war, she moved to London with her mother and worked as a model.
In 1951, while acting in France, Hepburn met the French writer Colette. Hepburn's beauty and charm caught her attention. Colette insisted that Hepburn was perfect for the lead role in Gigi, a play based upon her novel, although Hepburn had never played any major roles before. That event marked the beginning of her success.
Soon after that, Hepburn was chosen to play the lead role of a young princess in the Hollywood film Roman Holiday. The
film was such a big success that Hepburn soon became world-famous. In 1954, she won the Oscar for Best Actress for her
role. During her lifetime, she appeared in nearly 30 films and received many important awards.
Hepburn's achievements went beyond the big screen. She began supporting UNICEF in the 1950s. She helped create
radio programmes for children who lived through wars. She visited some African countries and drew the world's attention
to the children there. Hepburn spent her final years working closely with UNICEF so that she could help poor children around the world.
In 1992, Hepburn discovered that she had cancer. On 20 January 1993, she passed away peacefully in her sleep. She left behind not only great films, but also a caring spirit for the world's poorest children.
