The Lady: Audrey Hepburn

Born the daughter of an English banker and a Dutch baroness, Audrey Hepburn was class and style personified.

At a time when buxom blondes were all the rage, Hepburn radiated a rare intelligence, a dignified grace, and an understated beauty. She was constantly in demand and co-starred with an incredible array of great leading men - from Cary Grant to Gregory Peck, from Fred Astaire to Gene Kelley.

When Hepburn retired from film, she became a crusader for children's rights and served as the spokesperson for UNICEF for five years. Although she never thought of herself as a great actress, everyone who ever worked with her considered her not just a consummate performer but a very fair lady.

Roman Holiday (1953)
Hepburn, appropriately playing a princess, goes undercover and falls for newspaper man Gregory Peck, who must wrestle between his desire for an exclusive story and his weakness for her royal charm.

Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)
In this sterling gem, Hepburn steals the hearts of many as a New York City party girl. Memorable for "Moon River," which scored Henry Mancini an Academy Award.
