Arguably the most sophisticated and beautiful woman to ever grace the screen, Audrey Hepburn fell into acting by accident. Her dream to be a dancer was dashed--she'd be good, she was told, but never great--so she worked as an actress in Europe until William Wyler found her when looking for an unknown for his film Roman Holiday. Hence, a movie star was born.
Arguably the most sophisticated and beautiful woman to ever grace the screen, Audrey Hepburn fell into acting by accident. Her dream to be a dancer was dashed--she'd be good, she was told, but never great--so she worked as an actress in Europe until William Wyler found her when looking for an unknown for his film Roman Holiday. Hence, a movie star was born.
Intimate Portraits: Audrey Hepburn looks at the life of this actress who epitomized glamour through interviews with her son; her last partner, actor Robert Wolders; and friends and colleagues; and through clips from interviews with Hepburn herself. Together, they paint a picture of a reluctant star, a woman who really just wanted to be a wife and mother. Miscarriages and two failed marriages took their toll, but ultimately, Hepburn found her happiness later in life with Wolders and as the Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, where she finally found a purpose for her fame. From her childhood in wartime Belgium--where she raised funds for the Resistance by dancing, until malnutrition forced her to stop--to the memorial foundation created after her death, Portrait briefly touches on all aspects of Hepburn's personal and professional life, providing insight into one of the most cherished actresses of all time. --Jenny Brown
