Summary
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Audrey Hepburn, born Audrey Kathleen Ruston on May 4, 1929, and passing away on January 20, 1993, left an indelible mark as an actress and philanthropist hailing from the United Kingdom. Renowned as the third-greatest female screen legend in the realm of Classical Hollywood cinema by the American Film Institute, her illustrious career and iconic style have solidified her legacy. Additionally, she found herself inducted into the prestigious International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame, a testament to her enduring influence on fashion and elegance.
Audrey Hepburn's journey began amidst aristocratic roots in Ixelles, Brussels, shaping her early years with experiences in Belgium, England, and the Netherlands. The transformative period from 1945 to 1948 saw her dedicated to the art of ballet, studying under the tutelage of Sonia Gaskell in Amsterdam and Marie Rambert in London. Her artistic journey commenced with humble beginnings as a chorus girl in West End musical theatre productions, gradually transitioning to noteworthy cinematic roles that would define her career.
The turning point arrived with her enchanting performance alongside Gregory Peck in the romantic comedy Roman Holiday (1953), a role that garnered her prestigious accolades, including an Oscar, a Golden Globe Award, and a BAFTA Award. Hepburn's versatility shone as she earned a Tony Award for Best Lead Actress in a Play for her portrayal in Ondine in the same remarkable year.
