Audrey Hepburn is arguably one of the most well known and iconic figures of Old Hollywood. Her career peaked in the 1950s and '60s and continued into the '70s until she decided to devote her time to being a mother and an Ambassador for UNICEF.
Wearing her pearls and little black dress, Audrey and her extra large cigarette holder became one of the most recognized images of her generation. Her charm, humility (she didn't like to speak about herself) and electric presence scored her much popularity and success throughout all her career. Most of her work was done during Hollywood's Golden Age; everyone should see her films at least once in their life.
Although she passed away on January 20, 1993, Audrey Hepburn's films are some that will transcend generations to come. She would have been 84 this past May 4.
