Born on May 4, 1929, in Brussels, Belgium, Audrey Hepburn was a talented performer known for her beauty, elegance and grace. Often imitated, she remains one of Hollywood’s greatest style icons
She studied ballet in Amsterdam and later in London. In 1948, Hepburn made her stage debut as a chorus girl in the musical High Button Shoes in London. More small parts on the British stage followed. She was a chorus girl in Sauce Tartare (1949), but was moved to a featured player in Sauce Piquante (1950).
At the age of 22, Audrey Hepburn went to New York to star in the Broadway production of Gigi, based on the book by the French writer Colette.
In her later years, acting took a back seat to her work on behalf of children. She became a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF in the late 1980s. Travelling the world, Hepburn tried to raise awareness about children in need. She won a special Academy Award for her humanitarian work in 1993, but she did not live long enough to receive it. Hepburn died on January 20, 1993, at her home in Tolochenaz, Switzerland after a battle with colon cancer.
Audrey Hepburn & Yoga
Early on in her career, she was introduced to the practice of yoga and never looked back. She became a great advocate of yoga and practiced it when ever time permitted. Sometimes she would even find time for a quick yoga session during her busy filing schedule.
With her background in dance and ballet, Hepburn took to yoga easily and soon learnt the importance and the benefits yoga had to offer.
