Hepburn, Audrey (1929 - 1993).
Actress and film star, born Edda Kathleen van Heemstra

Noticed by the French writer Colette, she was given the lead in
the Broadway production of her novel, Gigi (1951), and went
on to win international acclaim for Roman Holiday (1953,
Oscar), in which she starred with Gregory Peck. One of the
most enchanting stars of the 1950s and 60s, her popular film
roles included Sabrina (1954), The Nun's Story (1959),
Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), all Oscar nominations, and My
Fair Lady (1964). Contrasting roles included Two for the Road
(1967), and as the blind girl terrorized in Wait Until Dark
