Graceful former dancer and model,in films from 1951.After small parts in European productions,Hepburn scored a key break when she was chosen by no less than Colette herself to star onstage in the author's Gigi (1951).Shortly thereafter,the radiant young actress gained immediate prominence in Hollywood with the leading role in the feature romantic comedy ROMAN HOLIDAY (1953),which was followed by similarly enchanting performances in films such as FUNNY FACE (1957) and BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S (1961).
A spirited,incredibly chic gamine type famous for her waiflike yet
slightly tomboyish manner,thick eyebrows,bouncy bangs and Givenchy fashion flair,Hepburn proved a beautiful,elegant foil to fatherly older men Gary Cooper,Humphrey Bogart,Henry Fonda and Fred Astaire,as well as young leads George Peppard and Albert Finney.One of the most lovely and photographed of stars,she helped define one type of feminine beauty in her era (as opposed to the full-figured Marilyn Monroe-Jane Russell look at the opposite end of the spectrum) and helped set the style for the slender,reedlike fashion model whose offshoots are still popular today.
"Audrey Hepburn is the personification of natural beauty," said Elle beauty director Rosie Green."She has a rare charm and inner beauty that radiates when she smiles.Her skin looks fresh in all her films and her personality really shines through as someone warm and lively."
