Audrey Hepburn is undoubtedly one of the greatest people to have ever lived. Not only was she an iconic face of beauty and fashion for her time but she was so much more. She might be known for her acting in movies such as My Fair Lady, Breakfast At Tiffany’s, Roman Holiday and more, but she was more than an actress, she was a humanitarian.
Hepburn was a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, an organization that meant a lot to her following her traumatic experiences during World War II. She dedicated her life to helping impoverished children and she is remembered to this day for her humanitarianism.
Hepburn is one of only 12 who have won the coveted EGOT (Emmy, GRAMMY, Oscar, Tony) awards. She was taken from this world too soon as the result of a rare form of abdominal cancer belonging to the group pseudomyxoma peritonei. On the anniversary of her birth, we celebrate her, all that she was and aspire to be more and more like her.
