Born in Brussels, Belgium, Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) was a British actress and humanitarian. She really was blue-blooded from the beginning with her father, a wealthy English banker, and her mother, a Dutch baroness. Hepburn spent her childhood chiefly in the Netherlands. During the World War Ⅱ, she studied ballet and moved to London in 1948, where she continued to train in ballet and worked as a photographer's model. Hepburn played the lead female role in Roman Holiday in 1953, winning an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and a BAFTA for her performance.
奥黛丽·赫本(1929—1993)出生于比利时布鲁塞尔，是英国著名女演员和人道主义者。她有贵族血统，父亲是富有的英国银行家，母亲是荷兰女男爵。赫本的童年主要在荷兰度过，第二次世界大战期间开始学习芭蕾。1948年，赫本移居伦敦，继续练习芭蕾舞并兼职做摄影模特。1953年，赫本出演《罗马假日》的女主角，获得了奥斯卡奖、金球奖和英国电影学院奖等殊荣。

One of the reasons for her popularity was the fact that she was so elf like and had class. Roman Holiday was followed by another similarly wonderful performance in the 1957 classic Funny Face (1957). Sabrina (1954) for which she received another Academy nomination, and Love in the Afternoon (1957), also garnered rave reviews. In 1959, she received yet another nomination for her role in The Nun's Story . Audrey reached the pinnacle of her career when she played Holly Golightly in the delightful film, Breakfast at Tiffany's in 1961. For this she received another nomination. One of Audrey's most radiant roles was in the fine production of My Fair Lady (1964), in 1964. Hepburn also won a Tony Award for her theatrical performance in the 1954 Broadway play Ondine . In 1999, she was ranked as the third greatest female star of all time by the American Film Institute.
赫本成为明星的原因之一是她天真清纯的小精灵形象以及她的古典美。《罗马假日》后是另一部同样精彩的电影杰作《甜姐儿》(1957)。1954年，《龙凤配》让她获得了又一个奥斯卡奖提名，1957年的《黄昏之恋》也得到了诸多好评。1959年，《修女传》让她又获得一次提名。1961年，当奥黛丽·赫本在《蒂凡尼的早餐》中饰演令人喜爱的霍莉·戈莱特利时，她达到了事业的顶峰，同时又获得一次提名。赫本最光彩的形象是在名作《窈窕淑女》(1964)中的角色。赫本还因在1954年百老汇名剧《美人鱼》中的杰出表演获得托尼戏剧奖。1999年，她被美国电影学会选为百年来最伟大的女演员第3名。
