'Audrey Hepburn' (qv) was born on May 4, 1929 in Brussels, Belgium.
She really was blue-blood from the beginning with her father, a
wealthy English banker, and her mother, a Dutch baroness. After her
parents divorced, Audrey went to London with her mother where she
went to a private girls school. Later, when her mother moved back
to the Netherlands, she attended private schools as well. While
vacationing with her mother in Arnhem, Holland, Hitler's army took
over the town. It was here that she fell on hard times during the
Nazi occupation. Audrey suffered from depression and malnutrition.
After the liberation, Audrey went to a ballet school in London on a
scholarship and later began a modeling career. As a model, she was
graceful and, it seemed, she had found her niche in life--until the
film producers came calling. After being spotted modeling by a
producer, she was signed to a bit part in the European film
_Nederlands in 7 lessen (1948)_ (qv) in 1948. Later, she had a
speaking role in the 1951 film, _Young Wives' Tale (1951)_ (qv) as
Eve Lester. The part still wasn't much, so she headed to America to
try her luck there. Audrey gained immediate prominence in the US
with her role in _Roman Holiday (1953)_ (qv) in 1953. This film
turned out to be a smashing success as she won an Oscar as Best
Actress. This gained her enormous popularity and more plum roles.
One of the reasons for her popularity was the fact that she was so
elf like and had class, unlike the sex-goddesses of the time. Roman
Holiday was followed by another similarly wonderful performance in
the 1957 classic _Funny Face (1957)_ (qv). 0047437, in 1954, for
which she received another Academy nomination, and _Love in the
Afternoon (1957)_ (qv), in 1957, also garnered rave reviews. In
1959, she received yet another nomination for her role in _Nun's
Story (1959)...[MORE]
