Audrey Hepburn was a Belgian-American actress known for her humble and charming personality and her humanitarian work for children in need.

Born on May 4, 1929, in Brussels, Belgium, she rose from being a victim of the Nazi occupation to becoming one of Hollywood’s most popular box-office attractions.

Besides starring in many Hollywood films, Audrey Hepburn also worked as a special ambassador to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) where she dedicated her life to helping impoverished children in poor countries of the world.

She visited various African and South Asian countries where she nursed sick children and raised awareness of the conditions in these nations.

Audrey attended school in England and the Netherlands.

Her father abandoned the family when she was young, so she was raised by her strict mother.

She was living with her mother in the Netherlands when the German invasion and occupation occurred during World War 2.

Life was hard during this time and she had to survive Nazi brutality and the Dutch famine over the winter of 1944.

She dug up and ate tulip bulbs to survive the famine, danced ballet for groups of people to raise money, and stayed in bed and read to help her forget the hunger.

After the war, Audrey and her mother moved to London, where she began acting in films mainly to raise money to support her family.

She became a star following her starring role in the Hollywood film, Roman Holiday, which won her the 1953 Academy Award for Best Actress.

Audrey went on to star in dozens of films, including My Fair Lady, with other major actors and was nominated for three other Academy Awards besides the one she won for Roman Holiday.

Audrey died of cancer on 20 January 1993, at the age of 63.
