Audrey Hepburn on the cover of Life (April 20, 1962).

British Hollywood actress Audrey Hepburn
(real name Audrey Kathleen Ruston, 1929-1993) was born in Ixelles, a district
in Brussels, Belgium. During her childhood, at the height of World War II, she
and her family suffered hardship and transferred from one residence to another
in Belgium, England and the Netherlands. Her childhood experiences during the
war gave Hepburn the inspiration to dedicate a part of her life to social and
humanitarian works for UNICEF.
In 1961, Hepburn was chosen to play the lead role of Holly Golightly, an extraordinary New York City call girl, for the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Truman Capote, who wrote the novel from which the film was based, said the role is not suited for Hepburn but for Marilyn Monroe. Although Hepburn also said “I can’t play a hooker” in passing, she was still chosen for the lead role. The character she portrayed didn’t have much sexual innuendos, but she was nominated for the Academy Best Actress Award, and Holly Golightly became an iconic symbol in American cinema.
