Audrey Hepburn's Footprint on Film and Fashion

“Roman Holiday” was Audrey Hepburn’s first major picture in Hollywood. Her impressive performance as Princess Anne would win her the 1953 Oscar for best actress. From that point on, Audrey Hepburn became a respected favorite of movie audiences everywhere. Audrey Hepburn would play in more than 25 films in her lifetime. Her most memorable movies include “Roman Holiday” (mentioned above), “Sabrina”, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, “Charade”, “My Fair Lady”, and “Funny Face”. In these films and others, she shared the stage and held her own with many of Hollywood’s greatest actors. To name just a few: William Holden, Cary Grant, Fred Astaire, Humphrey Bogart, Peter O’Toole, and Sean Connery. Check out some of the movie posters:





But Audrey Hepburn was not only admired for her acting. She was, and still is, noted as a fashion icon. In fact, the famous designer Hubert de Givenchy was not only the creator of her most notable onscreen costumes, but one of Audrey’s closest lifelong friends.
