Ranked third among the Greatest Female Stars of All-Time by the American Film Institute, the incomparable Audrey Hepburn is a movie and fashion icon. Two decades after her death, today’s teenagers are still familiar with her classic image from Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and influenced by her simple sophistication and elegance … drawn perhaps to qualities that are decidedly lacking in many contemporary celebrities.
Much more than a pretty face, Audrey was also a respected performer … one of the only ones in history able to claim Academy, Tony, Emmy, and Grammy Awards. A true lady, she epitomizes grace and elegance, and Audrey Hepburn without makeup is simply stunning.
It appears in the first photo that Audrey is wearing a very minimal amount of makeup. Her eyebrows are a bit alarming with their exaggeratedly pointed arches, but otherwise she’s gorgeous. Her eyes are enormous and beautiful, and the fact that her nose and upper lip are ever so slightly asymmetrical is very charming.
The next photo was taken in Audrey’s later years when she was essentially retired from acting and devoting her life to UNICEF. She is stunning in her graceful self-possession.
Miss Hepburn was simply stunning in Always, her last screen appearance.
ehhhhhh, you can tell the smoking did a number on her later.
c.lewal,
I’ll bet she is older than your Grandmother in the second picture. And she was not wearing make-up. Does your Grandmother look that good? You should apologize.
Audrey Hepburn was always easily elegant with a twinkle in her eye, funny, charming, and utterly captivating. Between her and Sophia Loren (whom I knew) there are none out there in today’s public to even be considered a star – except Meryl Streep. They are gracious (were re Audrey Hepburn) and generous. May the gauche Kardashians review films’ history and how they would like to be seen publicly.
shes gorgeous and will always be. ~ <3
When a woman has a beautiful soul, she will never grow old and be forever beautiful. Audrey Hepburn could have stayed maintained her career as a movie star, she certainly maintained her looks.
She chose to devote her time to helping children through UNICEF. Indeed she exemplifies true beauty.
She’s wearing makeup in both those images.
