奥黛丽．赫本的评价

　　奥黛丽·赫本生于比利时布鲁塞尔，奥黛丽的父亲约翰·维克特·赫本-鲁斯顿（John Victor Hepburn-Ruston）是一位英国银行家，母亲艾拉·凡·辛斯特拉（Ella van Heemstra）是荷兰贵族后裔，袭有女男爵的封号，家族谱系甚至可以回溯到英王爱德华三世。

　　赫本六岁开始就读于英国伦敦的贵族寄宿学校（1935年至1938年间），但旋即遇到父母离异，父亲离开了家庭（1935年），之后赫本离开英国跟随母亲一起回到荷兰的娘家。1939年时她进入安恒音乐学院（Arnhem Conservatory）学习芭蕾舞，之后第二次世界大战爆发，宣称中立的荷兰被纳粹占领。为了避免她原本非常英国味道的名字招惹麻烦，她母亲篡改了自己的身份文件替她制造了一个荷兰假名艾妲·凡·辛斯特拉（Edda van Heemstra，Edda与Ella在字母上只是一笔之差，有利于变造），但是这个名字从未合法正式登记过。

　　当纳粹侵占安恒后，由于谣传母亲的家族带有犹太血统，原本十分富裕的男爵家族被视为帝国敌人，不但财产被占领军没收，赫本的舅舅也被处决，母女俩被迫过著贫困的生活：据说在1944年荷兰饥荒期间，她常以郁金香球根维生，并靠喝大量的水填饱肚子。长期的营养不良促成她日后瘦削的身材。虽然如此，赫本仍然不断锻炼她最爱的芭蕾舞，即使穷到要穿上最难捱的木制舞鞋也没关系。

坠落凡间的天使

Graceful former dancer and model, in films from 1951. After small parts in European productions, Hepburn scored a key break when she was chosen by no less than Colette herself to star onstage in the author's Gigi (1951). Shortly thereafter, the radiant young actress gained immediate prominence in Hollywood with the leading role in the feature romantic comedy ROMAN HOLIDAY (1953), which was followed by similarly enchanting performances in films such as FUNNY FACE (1957) and BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S (1961).

A spirited, incredibly chic gamine type famous for her waiflike yet
slightly tomboyish manner, thick eyebrows, bouncy bangs and Givenchy fashion flair, Hepburn proved a beautiful, elegant foil to fatherly older men Gary Cooper, Humphrey Bogart, Henry Fonda and Fred Astaire, as well as young leads George Peppard and Albert Finney. One of the most lovely and photographed of stars, she helped define one type of feminine beauty in her era (as opposed to the full-figured Marilyn Monroe-Jane Russell look at the opposite end of the spectrum) and helped set the style for the slender, reedlike fashion model whose offshoots are still popular today.

"Audrey Hepburn is the personification of natural beauty," said Elle beauty director Rosie Green. "She has a rare charm and inner beauty that radiates when she smiles. Her skin looks fresh in all her films and her personality really shines through as someone warm and lively."
