Who would like to introduce Audrey Hepburn?

1929.

Audrey Hepburn, formerly known as Eda Catherine van Hiemstra Hepburn-Raston, was born in Brussels on May 4th.

Her mother Ellavan Heemstra is Dutch and her father Joseph Hepburn-Ruston is English.

She has two half-brothers: Alexander and Ian, who are 8 and 4 years older than her respectively. Because of the nature of his father's work, Hepburn often traveled in England and Holland when he was a child.

1934.

In order to change Hepburn's introverted personality, at the age of 5, Hepburn was sent to a boarding school in England through her mother's arrangement. During the holiday, Hepburn lived in a miner's house in order to learn English and English habits.

1935.

Hepburn's father suddenly left without saying goodbye and left their family for England. This incident did great harm to Hepburn's young mind.

At the same time, Hepburn began to take ballet lessons and went to Brussels to perform with the band. These experiences are also the reason why Hepburn once wanted to be a professional ballet dancer.

1938.

Hepburn's parents are officially divorced. Although Joseph (Hepburn's father) obtained the right of visiting at Hepburn's hope and request, Joseph did not actually come to see her.

1939.

World War II is still going on. Hepburn's mother thought it was safer for Hepburn to return to Holland than to stay in England. So Hepburn moved back to Holland to be with them. So Hepburn, who was used to speaking English at this time, had to study Dutch again.

1940.

In May, the Germans entered Anam, the Netherlands (where Hepburn and his family lived). Van Heemstra's property was looted.

194 1.

Hepburn entered the Anam Conservatory of Music and began to receive formal training in ballet courses until 1944. During this time, she became the teacher's favorite student.

However, the food shortage is getting more and more serious, so we often have to cook some weeds to satisfy our hunger. Hepburn and his family often spend their time in hunger and cold.

1942.

This has been a miserable year. Hepburn's five uncles were executed by the Nazis for supporting the Dutch rebels. Hepburn also witnessed the horror of young people in the town being shot by Nazi troops. Hepburn's eldest brother Alexander also avoided being captured by the Germans. Hepburn, who is only thirteen years old, and her mother can only take refuge in her grandfather Baron Van Hiemstra.

1943.

Although the country was at war at that time, Hepburn's love for music and dance remained undiminished. During this time, Hepburn not only often performed in the secret room, but also delivered some secret letters to the rebels like many children at that time.

1944

Hepburn's dance became more refined. She even opened some private ballet professors to supplement her family.

However, in the same year, she also stopped dancing because of her weak body.

1945.

At this time, Hepburn, who was 15 years old, was about 168 cm long and weighed only 40 kg. In addition to malnutrition caused by long-term hunger, she also suffers from asthma, jaundice and other diseases. This childhood experience influenced Hepburn's later metabolism and made her slim all her life.

In this year, Hepburn and her mother moved to Amsterdam and began to learn dance with the famous Dutch dancer Sonia gaskell. Although Hepburn could not afford the tuition later, Sonia let her continue to learn dance.

1946.

Hepburn became Sonia's favorite student and later performed at the Hortus Theatre in Amsterdam. One critic commented on Hepburn's performance: "Although she doesn't have the best skills, she has unlimited potential. 」

This year, Hepburn began to model for some photographers through the recommendation of friends.

1948.

Hepburn and his mother came to London for a short stay. Here, she passed the audition of the famous Mary Lambert Ballet School and won a scholarship. However, due to the lack of tuition fees, we have to suspend the admission time.

After returning to Holland, Audrey Hepburn passed the audition and played a small role in a semi-documentary Dutch film Nederlandsin Zeven Lessen, as a stewardess of KLM. This film is regarded as the first work of Hepburn's film career.

After that, Hepburn and her mother returned to London again and returned to ballet school.

In order to help Hepburn, mother Ella did a lot of humble work. Ms Lambert from the school also invited Hepburn to live in her house. Hepburn, who finally didn't have to worry about food and shelter for the time being, began to model on weekends in addition to dancing wholeheartedly during the past six months.

Although she really wants to be an excellent professional dancer, Audrey, who is 19 years old, gradually realizes that her age and height have made it difficult for her to become a top dancer.

This year, Hepburn and 39 others beat other examiners 1000 to become the 40 chorus singers needed for the musical "High Boots".

1949- 1950.

Hepburn was invited to continue performing in another musical, Sauce Tatar, because she wore high-heeled shoes. This stage play was very successful in 437 performances at Cambridge Theatre in London. Hepburn also studied vocal music and choreography to improve his performance.

The sequel to the musical "The Hell of Sauce" was released in April 1950. Although it is not as good as the sauce purple Tatar, Hepburn's performance has attracted the attention of newspapers and magazines. With a series of successful performances, Hepburn began to appear in some films, such as A Wild Oat, Laughing Forest Paradise, The Story of a Young Wife and Lavender Mountain Man, although their roles were not important. Shortly after filming Armed Robbery of Armored Vehicles, Hepburn met James Hanson, the son of a 28-year-old British businessman who runs a truck construction company, and they soon fell in love.

195 1.

Hepburn finally played a small role in the film The Secret Man for the first time. In this film, Hepburn showed her dancing talent.

Hepburn continued to play a small role in the film Monte Carlo Baby during the filming of Two Beautiful Girls.

Colette, a French novelist, saw Audrey Hepburn in the French location of Baby Monte Carlo and immediately decided that Hepburn would be the best candidate for the leading role in her Broadway play Gigi. Colette then encouraged Hepburn to attend Gigi's performance in new york.

Soon after, Hepburn successfully passed the audition held by director william wyler in London and was chosen as the heroine of the upcoming Paramount film Roman Holiday. Hepburn signed two contracts and went to new york alone for the first time, without her mother.

This year 10, the rehearsal of the stage play "Kiki" began. Hepburn's performance was not satisfactory, so he was given more vocal training. After Gigi was officially made public, Hepburn's efforts were not in vain. Although the stage play itself is not highly appraised, Hepburn's performance has been affirmed by many people.

On the day of Gigi's premiere, visiting boyfriend james hanson formally proposed to Hepburn, and they announced their engagement on the spot.

1952.

On May 3rd1day, Gigi ended her performance in new york ahead of schedule because Paramount wanted to start filming Roman Holiday as soon as possible. That night, Hepburn flew directly to Rome to start work. Hepburn and Hansen, who had planned to get married before the film started, also postponed their wedding.

The filming of Roman Holiday was finally completed in September, and Hepburn, who returned to the United States, immediately began GiGi's eight-month national tour. Hepburn announced the cancellation of his engagement to Hansen. Hepburn said, "I think I love my job too much. Hepburn and Hanson remained friends after their engagement was cancelled.

1953.

In August, Roman Holiday was officially released in the United States. In addition to the praise received by the film itself, Hepburn also shines from a newcomer to the film industry overnight. Her delicate and elegant face instantly appeared in major newspapers and magazines, and the famous "hepburn head" began to become a popular hairstyle for street girls.

At the banquet hosted by Gregory Bi Ke for the premiere of the film Roman Holiday starring him and Hepburn, Hepburn met her future husband, Melfa Ferrer.

Although Melfa Lear, an actor/director/writer, is twelve years old and has been divorced twice, his talent obviously attracts Hepburn deeply. They both made an excellent impression on each other.

Because of the success of Roman Holiday, Paramount immediately signed a contract with Hepburn again and took over her next film Sabina. In September of the same year, filming started on Long Island, new york.

Hepburn also met Hubertde Givenchy, a young French designer who was emerging in the clothing industry at that time, and started their 40-year cooperative relationship.

At the same time, Melfa Lear also gave the play script of Onding to Hepburn. After watching it, Hepburn agreed to perform with Mel.

At the end of this year, Hepburn's mother flew to new york to reunite with Hepburn.

1954.

On February 18, the stage play "Onding" premiered and received rave reviews. Hepburn also learned that her performance in Roman Holiday was nominated for an Oscar.

On March 25th, Hepburn won the Oscar for Best Actress for her role as Princess Anne in Roman Holiday. Three days later, she won another Tony Award for her performance in the stage play Ondin.

As Ondin continued to perform, Hepburn began to feel unwell because of excessive smoking. At the doctor's suggestion, she ended her performance on July 3 and went to Switzerland to recuperate.

Soon, Mel flew to Switzerland to formally propose to Hepburn, and Hepburn readily agreed. On September 24th, Hepburn married Mel. Switzerland has since become Hepburn's home.

At the end of this year, Hepburn was very happy to find that she was pregnant.

1955.

Hepburn was nominated for Best Actress in the Academy Award again for her "The Match of Dragon and Phoenix". Unfortunately, it was defeated by GraceKelly, who was also a finalist for "County Girl".

In March of the same year, Hepburn had an unfortunate abortion. Hepburn, who longed for children, was very disappointed and sad.

This year, despite many job opportunities, Hepburn refused all the performance invitations that she had to leave her husband, and accepted the Paramount film War and Peace, which she and her husband Mel starred in at the same time.

The result of this film is not only disappointing, but also unsatisfactory at the box office.

Facing the influx of scripts, Hepburn continued to decline, accepting only Funny Face with Fred Astaire.

1956.

"Funny Face" was filmed in Hollywood for three months, and then moved on to Paris to finish the exterior part. Her mother Ella and her husband Mel have been with her.

In the same year, a month after the completion of Funny Face, Hepburn immediately started Afternoon Love, which was performed by her and gary cooper, an actor 28 years older than her.

When the film was filmed on location in Paris, Hepburn often used weekends to fly to the south of France to visit Mel, who directed Retro in France.

1957.

1 month, Hepburn and her husband cooperated with the TV movie "Mayerling" on NBC TV. Although the film was highly praised at that time, NBC decided not to consider any shooting projects with Hepburn and Mel in the future because of its poor evaluation, and Mel himself began to retreat behind the scenes and concentrate on directing and producing.

In order to accompany Mel, who was filming The Sun Rises in Spain and Mexico, Hepburn later turned down many performance opportunities, including the famous Diary of Ann Frank. Shadow of fear, who lived in the war as a child, obviously made Hepburn unable to recall these painful experiences.

However, with the encouragement of her husband Mel, Hepburn took on The Story of Tynon and The Green Building directed by Mel.

1958.

The Biography of Nuns was first filmed in Cinecitta Studio in Rome, and then moved to Congo to start filming on location. This long and arduous filming process made Hepburn, who was seriously dehydrated, once appear the phenomenon of kidney calculi.

The final finishing work of Sisters Biography was completed intermittently after Hepburn returned to Rome in poor health. The film was released on July 1959, which set a new box office record for Warner Pictures and won eight nominations for the Academy Awards (including Hepburn's own nomination for best actress).

Then Hepburn started filming the Green Mansion directed by Mel. The Green Mansion, which was completed in the same year 1 1 month, was released before the biography of a nun, but it was neither well received nor applauded. This time, the spearhead once again pointed to Mel, who has never been loved by the media.

At this time, Hepburn was pregnant again.

1959.

Although she wanted to have a rest, Hepburn began to shoot one of her films, Unforgettable Man, in order to fulfill her previous film contract. During this period, Hepburn accidentally fell off his horse and was hospitalized. After nearly a month of nursed back to health, Hepburn was finally able to finish the film.

After the filming, Hepburn, who was still pregnant, returned to Burgenstock to rest and give birth, but unfortunately she miscarried again and her mood fell into a serious low tide.

In the same year, Hepburn, who was looking forward to starting a family with Mel, became pregnant again. This time, she refused all movie invitations, including the famous west side story and a Alfred Hitchcock movie, and only agreed to take on Breakfast at Tiffany's after the production was completed.

1960.

1 month 17, Hepburn gave birth to his first (and only) child in Lucerne, Switzerland, named Shane Hepburn Farrier.

In September of the same year, Hepburn returned to work and began filming Breakfast at Tiffany's in new york. In order to take care of the baby personally, Hepburn often takes Shane to the set.

196 1.

1 1 month, Breakfast at Tiffany's was released in the United States, and the box office was very satisfactory.

Although the original novel of this film was originally written by sexy actress Marilyn Monroe, Hepburn's performance not only won praises from many film critics, but also won an Oscar nomination for the fourth time for her "number one" film (although she didn't win the prize in the end).

Seeking and interpreting dreams

From 65438 to 0988, Audrey Hepburn went to Ethiopia suffering from war and famine on behalf of UNICEF. The scene reminded her of herself in World War II.

1929 On May 4th, Audrey Hepburn was born in a luxurious mansion in Brussels. Brussels is a charming, polite, comfortable and elegant city. It is neither too big to be exhausted nor too small to be isolated. The tone of the whole city is gloomy and the atmosphere is serious and rational. Steady, cautious and quiet are the personality characteristics of Brussels people. If the place of birth will have an impact on people's minds, Audrey is a living witness to this view.

Audrey Hepburn's mother is Dutch and has always been regarded as a baroness because of her royal blood. Her father is a British businessman with a strong Nazi tendency. A pair of unsuitable spouses finally caused irreparable consequences-the father abandoned his wife and daughter and ran away from home. Compared with children of the same age, Audrey Hepburn is too quiet and taciturn, and has been nicknamed "the old lady". Watching the sunrise, I know that ballet, chocolate and puppy that I like since I was a child will follow her all my life. With the rumble of guns in World War II, Audrey Hepburn grew up day by day and danced beautifully. Dance gave Audrey Hepburn an emotional outlet and a perfect way to express himself. Because of her persistence and love for dance, she found something beautiful in the cruel world at that time. There are many dreams in a person's life, and childhood dreams are probably the most unforgettable and the most difficult to realize.

The hateful war shattered her dream and instantly blew her city into ruins. She took off her dancing shoes and put on cloth shoes that would make her stride forward, and this became the safest place to hide secrets. The war left a permanent scar on her. Audrey Hepburn's childhood made her strong and fragile, resulting in her polarized personality, which of course made her very different from Americans of the same age. People who have experienced war will either become strong or moderate. She is the latter.

1959, Audrey played a nun named Luke in The Story of Nuns. From becoming a nun to a nurse, she silently endured suffering, but her love for human beings exceeded her worship of religious ceremonies. She doesn't want to be disturbed by the monastery bell when she is taking care of the patient, comforting the patient, or when the patient has something to say to her. Since she refuses to go against her conscience and can't repeatedly violate the regulations of the hospital, she can only bid farewell to religion and return to the crowd again. Under the white cassock, her beautiful face is still moving.

Thirty years later, what she did coincided with her performance in The Story of a Nun, and she became the hope of people in trouble. From 65438 to 0988, Audrey Hepburn served as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF, and she was also very suitable for this job. In the next five years, she traveled all over the world-Ethiopia, Sudan, Turkey, Central Africa, South Africa, Vietnam and Somalia.

"I am a mother, so I have the responsibility to do so," Audrey Hepburn said. "I hope my fame can be used to help children." That was her dream in her later years, and she accumulated the possibility of realizing her dream day by day.

199 1 year, Audrey Hepburn was awarded the honorary award of the world's most senior artist by the Lincoln Center Film Association.
