1929 年5月4日，奧黛麗·赫本誕生了。她以高雅的氣質(zhì)和獨特的品味改寫了好萊塢美的標準。她生前主演的多部電影例如《羅馬假日》、《蒂凡尼早餐》和《窈窕淑女》等至今仍為無數(shù)人眼中的經(jīng)典。

In her Childhood， Audrey Hepburn was a little fat， however she was very active， smart and lovely. Sometimes， she would just hide herself under the table， enjoying her favorite deserts. She had no idea why her parents were always quarreling and she did not care about it anyway. She loved dancing with her father. Being with him， she felt she was the happiest princess all over the world. However， no matter how this poor little princess expressed her love， her parents divorced and her father left them resolutely.

兒時的奧黛麗活潑、機靈、可愛，胖嘟嘟的她會偷偷地躲在桌子下吃甜食。她不明白父母為何總是爭吵，她對此也不在乎。她喜歡爸爸陪她跳舞，和爸爸在一起時，她是最快樂的小公主。但是，不管這可憐的小公主怎樣表達自己的愛，也沒能留住和母親離婚并毅然離去的爸爸。

In teenager period， Hepburn was rather pretty and innocent， brave meanwhile with intelligence. She was sent to learn her favorite dancing—Ballet by her mother and has made

up her mind to be an excellent dancer in future. However the war suddenly broke out， which forced her to come back to Holland.

After the war， Hepburn returned school to continue her studies， she desired to be an outstanding dancer， but was told by the teacher that her talence and figure are limited for her to be a chief ballet dancer.

theater. Luckily， she was chosen to take part in Broadways drama performance and Roman Holiday. Those two performances brought her great fame， especially the latter one which helped her won the Oscar Award for best actress.

戰(zhàn)后，赫本又回到舞蹈學校學習。她渴望成為出色的舞者，可是老師很遺憾地告訴她她并不具備成為首席芭蕾舞者的天分和身材。于是傷心的赫本開始了她的另一個職業(yè)，這為她后來的演藝事業(yè)埋下了伏筆。開始她出演各種音樂劇，后來她幸運地被選中參加百老匯的話劇表演和電影《羅馬假日》，這兩部作品為她帶來了名譽，尤其是《羅馬假日》，使她獲得了奧斯卡最佳女主角獎。

Nations Childrens Fund established a 7 foot bronze status known as the“Spirit of Audrey”. Whats more， on her 10th death anniversary[6]， USPS （United States Postal Service） published
