Audrey Hepburn—Beauty,Style, and Grace
奧黛麗‧赫本—
美麗、風格與優雅的化身
by Jerri Graham
Audrey Hepburn's legendary beauty has been an inspiration for fashion and style for years. There has never been another actress like her and most likely there never will be. Born in May of 1929, the beautiful actress was a major star during the 1950s and 60s and was the epitome of glamour. Her tale is one of struggle, triumph, blessings, and courage. In the film Roman Holiday, Audrey portrayed a princess. In real life, she wasn't exactly a princess, but she was a descendant of French nobility and English kings. In 1935, Audrey's father left the family, and her mother decided to move the family to Arnhem, the Netherlands. Events here would forever change Audrey's life. In 1940, the Nazis invaded the city of Arnhem. The world as everyone knew it changed overnight. War ripped the world apart, and in Arnhem, Audrey saw its destruction firsthand. She witnessed people being shot, and as a child, she had no way of doing anything about these horrible crimes. Despite the ugliness of what she witnessed, the dark-haired girl still found beauty in dancing. Having trained as a ballerina prior to and during the war, Audrey kept up her studies and was moving towards a career as a ballerina. She even used her gifts as a dancer to raise money to fight the Germans. Devastation struck in 1944, the year of the Dutch famine. The Nazis had cut the city off, taken the food and fuel supply for themselves, and left thousands of people to starve. It is estimated that 10,000 people died as a result of the Nazi blockade
