Hollywood's all-time best - Audrey Hepburn
Audrey Hepburn is one of Hollywood's all-time greatest actresses. When she died in 1993, the world felt very sad about the loss of a great beauty, a great actress and a great humanitarian. Hepburn was born in Belgium on 4 May 1929. As a child, she loved dancing and dreamt of becoming a successful ballet dancer. She worked as a model before becoming an actress. In 1951, while acting in France, Hepburn met the French writer Colette. Hepburn's beauty and charm caught the writer's attention. Colette insisted that Hepburn was the perfect girl for the lead role in Gigi, a play based upon her novel, although Hepburn had never played any major roles before.
