Audrey Hepburn


 

Audrey Hepburn (May 4, 1929January 20, 1993) was an Anglo-Dutch actress, fashion model, and humanitarian. Born Audrey Kathleen Ruston in Brussels, Belgium, she was the only child of Joseph Anthony Ruston, a Slovakian-born Anglo-Irish banker, and Baroness Ella van Heemstra, a Dutch aristocrat descended from French and English kings. Her father appended the name Hepburn to his surname, and Audrey became Audrey Hepburn-Ruston at the same time. She had two half-brothers, Alexander and Ian Quarles van Ufford, by her mother's first marriage to a Dutch nobleman.

Far from only being a beautiful woman, Audrey was humble, kind, funny and charming, and lived with the philosophy of putting others before herself. She showed this side particularly in the end of her life with her tireless work for UNICEF. She is considered to be one of the most legendary movie stars of all time, although she lived her life much differently than most movie stars of the time.
