Audrey Hepburn Biography
Comments 0
Graceful former dancer and model, a much-loved star in films from 1951. After small parts in European productions, Hepburn scored a key break when she was chosen by no less than Colette herself to star onstage in the author’s “Gigi” (1951). Shortly thereafter, the radiant young actress gained immediate prominence in Hollywood with the leading role in the feature romantic comedy, “Roman Holiday” (1953), which was followed by similarly enchanting performances in films such as the inspired fashion musical “Funny Face” (1957) and, as Holly Golightly, the warmly romantic “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” (1961).
