Audrey Hepburn was one of the most chic women of all time. She was the epitome of poise and grace. Here is a famous photo of her.

Audrey was born in Brussels, Belgium on May 4th to a wealthy banker and a Dutch Baroness. During World War Two Audrey and her mother were on vacation in Holland when the Nazi Regime took over the town. During this time Audrey suffered from depression and malnutrition. After the town was liberated Audrey moved to London and went to Ballet School. Soon after she began her modeling career and it wasn't too long before film producers were knocking on her door. The author Colette picked Audrey to play in Gigi, the movie written for her book.

She was truly dedicated to her cause. Audrey visited Ethiopia, Turkey, and South America in 1988; Central America, Sudan, and Bangladesh in 1989; Vietnam in 1990 and Somalia in 1992.
