As usual, I get to write the broadest and no-nonsense anniversary feature story, “The WORLD,” that is the most “significant events (in the world) in the last 30 MOD years.”

And I am also featured as one of the contributors, “writers who have made MOD the country’s number one weekly magazine.”

Picture Trivia

          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.           Hepburn’s star began to shine in Hollywood after her performance in the film Gigi (1951), followed by Roman Holiday (1953), where she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. She also won a Tony Award for her performance in the Broadway play Ondine (1954). She is one among a few who have won awards in Oscar, Tony, Emmy at Grammy.
          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.
