You Won’t Believe Who Is Set to Play Audrey Hepburn in Upcoming Biopic

During the German occupation of the Netherlands, Hepburn danced to raise money for the Dutch resistance efforts and reportedly helped the Allied soldiers by supplying them with food and volunteering at the hospitals, though the extent of her efforts are unknown.

Following the war, Hepburn and her family relocated to Amsterdam, where she took dance classes while also maintaining a job as a cook and housekeeper to support her family. Eventually, she moved to London to purse a career in acting and dancing. 

But it wasn’t until Hepburn landed the role of Princess Ann in the 1953 film Roman Holiday that her career took off, with her portrayal of the princess earning her an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award and a BAFTA. She went on to star in classic movies like Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Sabrina, My Fair Lady and Funny Face.
