Audrey Hepburn
Audrey Kathleen van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston was born in Brussels on May 4, 1929. When she was a child, she wanted to be a world-famous ballet dancer, but she was talked "You'll never be a famous dancer because you are too tall" in the most important ballet school. She was very sad, but it changed her life. She became a actress. She appeared at many movies such as Roman Holiday, Sabrina, Breakfast at Tiffany's, My Fair Lady and she became a famous actress.
In her private life, she married Mel Ferrer in Switzweland on September 25, 1954 and had a baby boy, Sean, in January 1960 but they divorced. She married an Italian doctor, Andrea Dotti in 1969 and had a baby boy, Luca, in 1970 but Dotti made new girlfriend so she was very angry and left Dotti in 1979.
When she became older, she wanted to do something more important with her life. She wanted to help poor and hungry children. She started to work for the United Nations. She stayed in small towns with no water and visited sick children in dirty old hospitals.
In 1992 she traveled to Africa for the last time. When she came back, she was very sick. On January 20, 1993, she died. She was sixty-four.
I think she is very beautiful and a hard worker. I've known her at Roman Holiday but I could know more about her from this book. I respect her action to poor and hungry children.
