Audrey Hepburn was born on May 4, 1929 in Brussels, Belgium. She really was blue-blood from the beginning with her father, a wealthy English banker, and her mother, a Dutch baroness. After her parents divorced, Audrey went to London with her mother where she went to a private girls school. Later, when her mother moved back to the Netherlands, she attended private schools as well. While vacationing with her mother in Arnhem, Holland, Hitler's army took over the town. It was here that she fell on hard times during the Nazi occupation. Audrey suffered from depression and malnutrition. After the liberation, Audrey went to a ballet school in London on a scholarship and later began a modeling career. As a model, she was graceful and, it seemed, she had found her niche in life - until the film producers came calling. After being spotted modeling by a producer, she was signed to a bit part in the European film Nederlands in 7 lessen (1948) in 1948. Later, she had a speaking role in the 1951 film, Young Wives' Tale (1951) as Eve Lester. The part still wasn't much, so she headed to America to try her luck there. Audrey gained immediate prominence in the US with her role in Roman Holiday (1953) in 1953. This film turned out to be a smashing success as she won an Oscar as Best Actress. This gained her enormous popularity and more plum roles. One of the reasons for her popularity was the fact that she was so elf-like and had class, unlike the sex-goddesses of the time. Roman Holiday (1953) was followed by another similarly wonderful performance in the 1957 classic Funny Face (1957). Sabrina (1954), in 1954, for which she received another Academy nomination, and Love in the Afternoon (1957), in 1957, also garnered rave reviews. In 1959, she received yet another nomination for her role in The Nun's Story (1959). Audrey reached the pinnacle of her career when she played Holly Golightly in the delightful film Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) in 1961. For this she received another nomination. She scored commercial success again in the espionage caper Charade (1963). One of Audrey's most radiant roles was in the fine production of My Fair Lady (1964) in 1964. Her co-star, Rex Harrison, once was asked to identify his favorite leading lady. Without hesitation, he replied, "Audrey Hepburn in 'My Fair Lady.'" After a couple of other movies, most notably Two for the Road (1967), she hit pay dirt and another nomination in 1967's Wait Until Dark (1967). By the end of the sixties, after her divorce from actor Mel Ferrer, Audrey decided to retire while she was on top. Later she married Dr. Andrea Dotti. From time to time, she would appear on the silver screen. One film of note was Robin and Marian (1976), with Sean Connery in 1976. In 1988, Audrey became a special ambassador to the United Nations UNICEF fund helping children in Latin America and Africa, a position she retained until 1993. She was named to People's magazine as one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world. Her last film was Always (1989) in 1989. Audrey Hepburn died on January 20, 1993 in Tolochnaz, Switzerland, from colon cancer. She had made a total of 31 high quality movies. Her elegance and style will always be remembered in film history as evidenced by her being named in Empire magazine's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time." 　　童年 　　奥黛丽·赫本生于比利时布鲁塞尔，奥黛丽的父亲约翰·维克特·赫本-鲁斯顿（John Victor Hepburn-Ruston）是一位英国银行家，母亲艾拉·凡·辛斯特拉（Ella van Heemstra）是荷兰贵族后裔，袭有女男爵的封号，家族谱系甚至可以回溯到英王爱德华三世。 　　赫本六岁开始就读于英国伦敦的贵族寄宿学校（1935年至1938年间），但旋即遇到父母离异，父亲离开了家庭（1935年），之后赫本离开英国跟随母亲一起回到荷兰的娘家。1939年时她进入安恒音乐学院（Arnhem Conservatory）学习芭蕾舞，之后第二次世界大战爆发，宣称中立的荷兰被纳粹占领。为了避免她原本非常英国味道的名字招惹麻烦，她母亲篡改了自己的身份文件替她制造了一个荷兰假名艾妲·凡·辛斯特拉（Edda van Heemstra，Edda与Ella在字母上只是一笔之差，有利于变造），但是这个名字从未合法正式登记过。 　　当纳粹侵占安恒后，由于谣传母亲的家族带有犹太血统，原本十分富裕的男爵家族被视为帝国敌人，不但财产被占领军没收，赫本的舅舅也被处决，母女俩被迫过著贫困的生活：据说在1944年荷兰饥荒期间，她常以郁金香球根维生，并靠喝大量的水填饱肚子。长期的营养不良促成她日后瘦削的身材。虽然如此，赫本仍然不断锻炼她最爱的芭蕾舞，即使穷到要穿上最难捱的木制舞鞋也没关系。 　　踏入影坛 　　战后，赫本与母亲带着省吃节用存下来的100英镑到伦敦。她在这边打工边寻找深造机会。1948年，赫本进入著名的玛莉·蓝伯特芭蕾舞学校（Marie Rambert`s）学校学习芭蕾舞，期间曾因没钱缴学费返回荷兰，并在一部荷兰影片中饰演跑龙套角色。经过数月训练后，赫本被告知她不适合当芭蕾舞者。为了面对家庭的经济压力，她转而成为兼职模特儿，并参与歌舞团演出；这年赫本击败多数应征者，成为音乐剧《高跟鞋》（High Button Shoes ）的合唱团员。由于表现突出，她正式参与了另一部音乐剧《鞑靼酱》（Sauce Tartare）的演出。1951年，赫本首次在英国电影《天堂的笑声》露脸，正式成为电影演员，并在一些电影中扮演较次要的人物。之后她在电影《双珠艳》里施展舞技，同时接演另一部电影《蒙地卡罗宝宝》（Monte Carlo Baby）。为了拍摄后者，奥黛丽到法国出外景，期间意外被相中成为音乐剧《金粉世界》（Gigi）的女主角，进而开启她到美国发展的机缘；同时，她还被《双珠艳》导演推荐给威廉·惠勒，参加了其新影片《罗马假日》试镜，获得非常好的赞誉，从而得到这部电影的女主角角色。 　　1952年奥黛丽·赫本到美国正式参与舞台剧GIGI的演出。她在其间十分出色，广受人们的欢迎，并因此获得托尼奖最佳女主角。但为赶拍《罗马假日》，她在《金粉世界》里的演出被迫在巡回八个月演出后结束。这年因无法兼顾事业与婚姻，她取消与未婚夫詹姆士·汉森（James Hanson）的婚约，但两人日后仍保持良好的友谊。 　　1953年，并与好莱坞名影星格里高利·派克一起主演的电影《罗马假日》正式上映。由于成功刻画剧情，这部片在世界各地掀起风潮：其中赫本在片中表现出公主的高雅气息，以及剪成赫本头表现出的天真无邪，使她成功赢得多数人的赞赏。许多报纸评论称赞赫本说：“一位新嘉宝诞生了！”。该片风靡世界，她扮演楚楚动人的安妮公主一头黑色短发，外貌优美脱俗，体态轻盈苗条，在金发性感女郎风行的年代，一下子吸引了观众的目光。赫本不仅俘虏全世界亿万青少年的心，同时连评论家们也都不知不觉被她吸引。1954年3月25日，赫本获奥斯卡最佳女主角奖，三天后，因《翁蒂娜》中的精彩表演再荣获托尼奖殊荣。 　　1954年她与亨佛·莱鲍嘉、威廉·荷顿一同演出比利·怀德拍摄的爱情片《龙凤配》。由于《翁蒂娜》的演出加上抽烟过量，赫本在医生的建议下到瑞士修养，不久接受一同参与《翁蒂娜》演出的演员梅尔·法利尔（Mel Ferrer） 的求婚，两人于9月24日步上红毯。 　　1955年奥黛丽·赫本再度获得奥斯卡最佳女主角奖提名，可惜未获奖，同年因意外首度流产。之后几年，她主演的《战争与和平》、《甜姐儿》、《巴黎之恋》等片都获得不错的评价，声势扶摇直上。但丈夫梅尔的演艺却遭遇挫折，逐渐转到幕后。1959年赫本三度怀孕，为防止半年前的流产再度发生，她推掉包括《西城故事》等片的片约，直到生下第一个儿子尚·赫本·法利尔（Sean Hepburn Ferrer）后才同意主演《第凡内早餐》。 　　转型 　　虽然《第凡内早餐》的作者原属意玛丽莲·梦露饰演女主角赫莉·葛莱丽（Holly Golightly），拍摄过程赫本也一度为了主题曲是否采用亨利·曼西尼与强尼·莫瑟的月河而与电影公司起冲突，是事后证明她的演出与坚持是对的：1961年奥斯卡金像奖获得两项音乐性奖项，奥黛丽·赫本第四度获得最佳女主角的提名。这部片她的演艺生涯再创高峰，但她开始挑战更有演技难度的作品。 　　同年年底，赫本接下《双姝怨》的演出，但评价平平；之后的《谜中谜》试图挑战悬疑片的角色。但她最成功的作品还是1964年主演的《窈窕淑女》：这部改编自同名音乐剧的歌舞片获得8项奥斯卡的奖项，但主演的赫本却因由别人幕后代唱的关系无法获得提名。 　　晚年 　　1980年冬赫本遇见了罗伯特·沃德斯，这个后来被她称为“灵魂伴侣”的男人影响了赫本原已经出现危机的婚姻。在赫本与安德烈·多蒂离婚后，两人最后成为永久的人生伴侣。 　　1989年，赫本在其生涯最后一部电影——《直到永远》中饰演天使一角。1988年至1993年间，赫本成为联合国儿童基金会的亲善大使，帮助拉美和非洲的孩子们，亲赴不少国家和地区，为孩子们呐喊、呼吁和募捐。为表彰她为全世界不幸儿童所做出的努力，美国电影艺术和科学学院将该1988年度奥斯卡人道奖授予了她。她的爱心与人格犹如她的影片一样灿烂人间。1993年，诺贝尔和平奖得主德蕾莎修女获悉奥黛丽·赫本病危的消息时，命令所有的修女彻夜为奥黛丽·赫本祷告祈使其能奇迹般地康复，祷告传遍世界各地。同年1月20日，赫本在瑞士托洛谢纳（Tolochenaz）的住所，因结肠癌病逝。 1. 罗马假日 Roman Holiday (1953) 2. 龙凤配 Sabrina (1954) 3. 甜姐儿 Funny Face (1957) 4. 战争与和平 War and Peace (1956) 5. 神秘的人 Secret People 6.横财过眼 The Lavender hill mob
