Date of Birth : May 4th 1929

 

Academy Award and Tony Award winning Anglo-Dutch actress of film and theatre, Broadway stage performer, ballerina, fashion model, and humanitarian.

From 1988 until her death in 1993 she served as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and was honoured with the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her work. In 1999 she was ranked as the third greatest female star of all time by the American Film Institute.

By 1944 Hepburn had become a proficient ballerina. She secretly danced for groups of people to collect money for the Dutch resistance. She later said ‘the best audience I ever had made not a single sound at the end of my performance’.

The controversy over Hepburn’s casting reached its height at the 1964-65 Academy Awards season, when Hepburn was not nominated for best actress while Andrews was, for Mary Poppins. The media tried to play up the rivalry between the two actresses as the ceremony approached, even though both women denied any such bad feelings existed and got along well. Julie Andrews won the award.
