Audrey Hepburn doesn’t
need an introduction. Even after years and years of her silver screen brilliance,
she still baffles many with her beauty and grace. She is the perfect amalgamation
of beauty both outside in.
Audrey Kathleen Ruston, more famously known as
Audrey Hepburn was a British actress, and a humanitarian, born on May 04, 1929
in Belgium.
Audrey Hepburn dazzled
on the silver screen and gave us amazing movies such as “The Roman Holiday”, “Sabrina”,
“My Fair Lady”, “Mary Poppins”, “Paris When it Sizzles”, “Charade”, and of
course, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” The “little black
dress” is still an iconic dress made by
Givenchy. Her beauty combined with her sense of fashion, and the way she
carried herself, soon made her a famous public figure. She is one of the 14
people in Hollywood who won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony Award. It
was during her dazzling career that she was picked as the Goodwill Ambassador
of UNICEF. In recognition of her work, the then US President George W. Bush
awarded her the “Presidential Medal of Freedom”..
Hepburn had a rare
cancer, appendiceal
cancer. Her cancer spread throughout her
small intestine that it was impossible to operate and remove it. She was flown,
on a flower-filled private jet sent by Givenchy, from Los Angeles to Geneva. It
was there in her own home in Tolochenaz, Vaud, Switzerland that she died in her
sleep. This was on the evening of 20 January, 1993.
Here are some classy
quotes from this talented, beautiful human being that every girl needs to
remember.
1. There is more to sex appeal than just measurements.
I don’t need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex
appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.
2. The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.
3. Success is like reaching an important birthday and
finding you are exactly the same.
4. If I am honest I have to tell you I still read
fairy-tales and I like them best of all.
5. Pick the day. Enjoy it – to the hilt. The day as it
comes. People as they come.. The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the
present – and I don’t want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.
6. Make-up can only make you look pretty on the
outside, but it doesn’t help if you are ugly on the inside. Unless you eat the
make-up.
7. People, even more than things, have to be restored,
renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
8. I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think
it is the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s
probably the most important thing in a person.
9. I have been lucky. Opportunities don’t come along.
So, when they do, you have to grab them.
10.I don’t take my life seriously, but I do take what I do in my life seriously.
