Inspirational women - Audrey Hepburn 1929-1993




It is our intention to do a feature blog each week on a woman who has inspired us. The first of these ladies would have to be the timeless Audrey Hepburn.

I clearly remember the first time I ever saw Audrey Hepburn, it was in Roman Holiday, I must have been about 8 years old, and it took me all of about 5 minutes to fall in love with her. I loved her face, her great doe-like eyes; the way she held herself, so poised & elegant; I even loved the way she spoke with no trace of her heritage….a true child of the world. Audrey Hepburn was beautiful until the day she died, a true beauty inside & out and was known in her later years for her tireless work as a Goodwill ambassador for UNICEF.

We love you Audrey.

Favourite Audrey moments:

5. Singing “Moon River” (Breakfast at Tiffany’s)
4. Hiding from Linus Larabee in the Garage (Sabrina)
3. The “mouth of truth” scene with Gregory Peck (Roman Holiday)
2. Selling flowers in the street (My Fair Lady)
1. Looking for Cat in the rain (Breakfast at Tiffany’s)

Her impressive career in film and theatre spanned 42 years, ending only with her death in 1993. A vastly influential person and notable humanitarian, she received over fifty awards and international distinctions for her work in film and, later, for her efforts on behalf of children everywhere.
