In contrast to the “sex goddesses” of the silver screen, Audrey Hepburn had a more wholesome beauty and an aura of innocence and class about her which gained her many devoted fans.

Who can forget her appearances in “Roman Holiday”, “Love in Afternoon” and the delightful film, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”! In fact it was Marilyn Monroe who was tipped to be the heroine in the romantic comedy drama, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, but Audrey Hepburn won that role by sheer acting talent. When the movie with a ‘Cinderella’ type of story was released in 1961, Audrey Hepburn was hailed as the embodiment of the chic, liberated, modern woman.

Audrey Hepburn in My Fair LadyNobody else could have portrayed the smooth and seamless metamorphosis of personality from that of a rustic flower girl to a genteel princess (might have been) in the classic, “My Fair Lady” than the supremely talented Audrey Hepburn!
