Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) was a British-Belgian actress and humanitarian. She starred in Roman Holiday (1953, Academy Award for Best Actress), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), My Fair Lady (1964), and Charade (1963). She is one of only 18 people to have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony (EGOT). After her acting career, she devoted her life to humanitarian work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, traveling to some of the world's poorest regions. She survived the Dutch famine during WWII as a child, which shaped her lifelong commitment to helping hungry children.

What Made Audrey Hepburn Iconic?

Hepburn's appeal was not conventional Hollywood glamour. She was thin, flat-chested, and had what she considered a too-large nose. Her beauty was in her expressiveness, her elegance, and her warmth. She and fashion designer Hubert de Givenchy created a look — the little black dress, the sunglasses, the updo — that defined sophistication for the 20th century. Her look in Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of the most reproduced images in fashion history.

What Was Her UNICEF Work?

From 1988 until her death in 1993, Hepburn served as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. She traveled to Ethiopia, Turkey, Central America, Vietnam, and Somalia, advocating for children suffering from famine, disease, and conflict. She said she was motivated by her own childhood starvation during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously.
