Audrey Hepburn

For most of her career, Audrey Hepburn portrayed women with class (Roman Holiday, My Fair Lady)—roles that mirrored her personal life. But make no mistake: Hepburn could exhude sex appeal and sophistication in equal measure—as evidenced by her turn as a call girl in 1961’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Petite and fashionable, with wide, dark eyes and porcelain skin, Hepburn was the kind of woman you could imagine around your arm at a state dinner—at ease next to Jackie O. In later years, her status as a fashion icon—she was a favorite of designer Hubert de Givenchy—threatened to overshadow her considerable acting career: She’s still one of few actresses in history to win an Oscar, an Emmy, a Grammy, and a Tony award. Those accolades, among others, prompted the American Film Institute to name Hepburn the third greatest screen legend in history.
