Audrey Hepburn

1929 – 1993

1900s Europe & USA · Actress

Audrey Hepburn was a beloved actress known for films like Roman Holiday and Breakfast at Tiffany's, and for her elegant, graceful style. As a child in Nazi-occupied Netherlands during World War II, she suffered severe malnutrition and secretly helped the Dutch resistance, later crediting the relief aid she received as a starving child with inspiring her humanitarian work. She devoted much of her later life to UNICEF, traveling to some of the world's poorest places to help children in need, and is remembered as much for that work as for her acting.
