Today May 4 is the birth date of an Icon. She is one of the most beautiful woman of all time, an award winning actress in stage and in film, fashion and a humanitarian ambassador. I'm talking about the late Audrey Hepburn.
She won the 1953 Academy Award for Best Actress for Roman Holiday. She was nominated for Best Actress four more times; for Sabrina, The Nun's Story, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Wait Until Dark. She was not nominated for her performance as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, one of her most acclaimed performances.
For her 1967 nomination, the Academy chose her performance in Wait Until Dark over her critically acclaimed performance in Two for the Road. She lost to Katharine Hepburn (in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner).
Audrey Hepburn was one of the few people who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony Award.
In December 1992, one month before her death, Hepburn received the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her work in UNICEF. This is one of the two highest awards a civilian can receive in the United States. Check out this site for more info in her life and career.
Audrey was born May 4, 1929 and died, January 20, 1993.
