Event Description

Audrey Hepburn was said to be one of the most beautiful women of all time. Audrey was born in Belgium and started her career in the world of ballet in London. Becoming a professional dancer did not come to fruition so a change of career into acting was the next step.

After some minor film appearances, her first starring role was in ‘Roman Holiday’ with Gregory Peck. The film was a great success and Audrey won an Academy Award for Best Actress. Another victory was to play Holly Golightly in ‘Breakfast at Tiffany's’. A different direction in her acting ability was in the film Wait Until Dark, a suspense thriller where Audrey played the part of a blind woman. Over the years her co stars included Fred Astaire, Humphrey Bogart and Cary Grant.

In later life she was appointed a Goodwill Ambassador of UNICEF. Sadly, Audrey died in her sleep at home after a long illness at the age of just 63.
