Something wrong?She moved through the camera like no one before her - part waif, part aristocrat, all poise - and turned restraint into magnetism. A ballet dancer who became the template for mid-century elegance, she's still the measuring stick for what grace looks like onscreen.

, I am more than ever awed and overwhelmed by the monumental talents it was my great, great privilege to work for and with.
I myself was born with an enormous need for affection and a terrible need to give it
I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.

Born into an aristocratic family in Brussels in 1929, Audrey Hepburn spent the war years in the occupied Netherlands studying ballet and performing to raise money for the resistance. She danced in West End chorus lines and took small film roles before Roman Holiday in 1953 made her a star overnight - the first actress to sweep the Academy, Golden Globe, and BAFTA for a single performance, the same year she won a Tony for Ondine. The run that followed - Sabrina, Funny Face, The Nun's Story, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Charade, My Fair Lady - made her both a box-office constant and a fashion axis. After Wait Until Dark in 1967 she stepped back, appearing only occasionally, then shifted her final years to UNICEF field missions in the poorest corners of Africa, South America, and Asia. She received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in December 1992 and died of appendix cancer a month later in Switzerland, leaving behind a posthumous Grammy and a silhouette the world still knows by heart.
