The life of the character
1929 On May 4th, Audrey Hepburn was born in Brussels. His father, Joseph Victor Anthony Hepburn-Ruston, was an English banker, and his mother, Ella van Hiemstra, was a descendant of a Dutch nobleman and held the title of Baron. Family lineage can even be traced back to King Edward III of England. Note: Audrey Hepburn is a descendant of King Edward III of England and james hepburn, the fourth Marquis of boswell, Scotland (the third husband of Queen Mary of Scotland). Among the descendants of james hepburn, Hollywood celebrities who were contemporary with Audrey included katharine hepburn and Rainier III, the former Grand Duke of Monaco (the marriage with Hollywood actress Grace Kelly caused a sensation all over the world and was called the marriage of the century), and among the descendants of King Edward III of England, there were also Hollywood stars like humphrey bogart. Actually, they are distant relatives of Audrey. Hepburn's full name was originally "Audrey Catherine Lastun", but after World War II, Joseph accidentally discovered that his maternal ancestors had the surname "Hepburn", so he changed his surname to "Hepburn Lastun". Therefore, Audrey's name was changed to "Eda Catherine Van Hepburn-Lastun".
Hepburn attended the aristocratic boarding school in London, England at the age of six (1935 ~ 1938). But at that time, her father supported the Nazis and suddenly left their home without saying goodbye. This incident left a great trauma to Hepburn's young mind. Hepburn's parents officially divorced on 1938. Although Joseph was granted visiting rights at Hepburn's hope and request, in fact Joseph did not come to see her. With the continuation of World War II, Hepburn followed her mother back to her grandmother's house in Holland. 1939, she entered the Anam Conservatory of Music to study ballet, and then World War II broke out, and the so-called neutral Netherlands was occupied by the Nazis. At that time, most of the identity documents were handwritten. In order to avoid the trouble caused by her original English name, her mother tampered with her identity document and created a Dutch pen name Eda van Hemmes (Eda and Ella are similar in writing, which is easy to forge), but this name has never been legally registered.

When the Nazis invaded Anheng, it was widely rumored that the mother family was descended from Jews, and the originally wealthy baron family was regarded as the enemy of the empire. Not only was the property confiscated by the occupying forces, but Hepburn's uncle was also taken to the concentration camp. During the war and famine, Hepburn often relied on "green bread" made of tulip bulbs and hay to satisfy his hunger and drank a lot of water to fill his stomach. Malnutrition caused her to lose weight. Even so, Hepburn insisted on practicing her favorite ballet, even though she put on the most difficult wooden dancing shoes. Hepburn secretly worked for the Dutch guerrillas (including raising money for ballet performances and delivering information). ) and contributed to the anti-fascist war. 1944 During the Battle of Anheng, Audrey became a volunteer nurse at the age of 16. During the battle, many allied soldiers were taken to Hepburn's hospital. An injured British paratrooper recovered with the help and care of Hepburn and other nurses. This paratrooper is the later director Terence Young, who directed 1967 Psycho of the Blind Girl starring Hepburn.
Artistic experience
After World War II, Hepburn and her mother moved to London, England with 65,438+000 saved by scrimping and saving. While working here, she is looking for opportunities for further study. 1948, Hepburn entered the famous Mary Lambert Ballet School, during which she returned to the Netherlands because she could not afford the high tuition fees, and played a stewardess in a promotional film [2]. After several months of training, Hepburn was told that she was not fit to be a ballet dancer. Faced with the financial pressure at home, she turned to be a part-time model and participated in song and dance troupe performances. Hepburn beat most of the applicants and became a member of the choir in the musical High-Button Shoes. Because of her outstanding performance, she also participated in the performance of another musical, Sauce Tartars. 195 1 year, Hepburn officially became a film actor in the British film Laughter in Heaven, and then played some minor roles in the film. She played a supporting role in Mystery Man for the first time, then showed her dancing skills in the film Two Beautiful Women, and then took on another film, Monte Carlo Baby. In order to shoot the latter's French remake of Nous irons à Monte Carlo, Audrey will go to France for location shooting. During the performance, Madame Collette, a famous French woman writer sitting under the stage, recognized her as the embodiment of the role of Gigi in the work Gigi. His wife invited her to Hollywood, new york to play the heroine in the musical "The World of Gold Powder", which opened up opportunities for Hepburn to develop in the United States. At the same time, she was recommended to william wyler by the director of A Beautiful Woman, and participated in the audition of the new film Roman Holiday, which won very good praise and won the heroine role in this film. 1952, Audrey Hepburn went to the United States to formally participate in the performance of the stage play The World of Gold Powder. During this period, she was very outstanding and widely welcomed by people, so she won the best actress award in drama. However, in order to catch up with Roman Holiday, it was forced to end after eight months of performance in the Golden Powder World. This year, because she can't balance her career and marriage, she cancelled her engagement with her fiance, James Hanson, but they will still maintain a good friendship in the future. 1953, the movie "Roman Holiday" starring the famous Hollywood movie star gregory peck was officially released. Because of her successful performance, the film quickly became popular all over the world. Hepburn plays the lovely image of Princess Anne in the film, showing the noble and elegant atmosphere of the princess, with beautiful and refined appearance, light and slim posture and short black hair. In that era when sexy blondes were all the rage, Hepburn's image suddenly attracted the attention of the audience. As we all know, hepburn head's innocence has won the admiration of most people and become an international popular hairstyle. For a time, Hepburn became an international celebrity, her news short films were broadcast all over the world, and TV stations praised her in prime time. A large number of newspapers ecstatically praised her beauty, vitality, charm and elegance, and people praised her as the best actress after Garbo and Bergman. Many newspaper comments praised Hepburn: "A new Garbo was born!" It is said that ingrid bergman let out a scream while watching Roman Holiday in Italy. Her husband Rossini asked her, "Why are you yelling?" Bergman said: "I was deeply moved by Audrey Hepburn!" Hepburn not only captured the hearts of millions of fans around the world, but also attracted critics unconsciously. 1On March 25th, 954, Hepburn won the Oscar for Best Actress. Three days later, she won the Tony Award for her wonderful performance in Ondin. 1954, she performed with humphrey bogart and william holden the romantic film "The Couple of the Dragon and the Phoenix" filmed by billy wilder. Later, because of Ontina's performance and excessive smoking, Hepburn went to Switzerland to recuperate at the doctor's suggestion. Mel ferrer, who starred in The Mermaid, proposed to him soon, and they walked on the red carpet on September 24th. 1955, Audrey Hepburn was nominated for the Best Actress Oscar again, but unfortunately she didn't win the prize. In the same year, she had her first miscarriage due to an accident. In the following years, her films such as War and Peace, Funny Face, and Love in the Dusk all received favorable comments, and their momentum soared. However, her husband Mel's acting skills suffered setbacks and gradually turned behind the scenes. Hepburn's third pregnancy was on 1959. In order to prevent the miscarriage from happening again six months ago, she cancelled the film contract including west side story and only agreed to play Breakfast at Tiffany's after giving birth to her first son, Sean Hepburn Ferrer. Although the author of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" prefers the original protagonist to play the heroine Holly Golightly, Hepburn once clashed with the film company on whether to adopt the theme song "Moon River" by henry mancini and Johnny Mercer. Afterwards, it was proved that her performance and persistence were correct: 196 1 Oscar won two musical awards, and Audrey Hepburn was nominated for best actress for the fourth time. This film took her acting career to a new peak, but she began to challenge more difficult works. At the end of the same year, Hepburn took on Double Bitterness, but the evaluation was mediocre. Later, Enigma tried to challenge the role of suspense films. However, her most successful work is My Fair Lady, starring 1964. This musical adapted from the musical of the same name won eight Oscars, but Hepburn, the leading actor, was not nominated because the director asked others to sing behind the scenes.

Hepburn's second marriage, plus Dottie, made her disappear for seven years. The audience misses her very much, and the film company and insiders hope that she will come out again. 1976, Hepburn finally returned to the film industry and played Robin Hood and marion with Sin Connery, who was famous for playing James Bond. The film describes the deep affection between Robin Hood, a peasant hero who returned from the Crusades in medieval legend, and his lover who had been away for 18 years. The film premiered in new york. Hepburn was very upset before he went to attend. After leaving the film industry for seven years, great changes have taken place in the film industry. How will people treat her? Before the premiere, Hepburn had to fly to Hollywood as soon as possible to speak at the ceremony of the American Film Academy in recognition of william wyler's acceptance of the lifetime honor award. She read a poem she wrote, and the result was full of applause, which surprised and delighted her. Then she flew to new york for the premiere. The premiere was held in Radio City Concert Hall. When Hepburn arrived, about 6,000 people cheered her and sang in unison: "We love you, Audrey!" " "Hepburn was completely unprepared for this. She was moved to tears by people's enthusiasm. She said: "I am very touched to see that people are not tired of me. "Then she flew to Hollywood, attended the film's premiere in the West, and served as the host of the Oscar ceremony. This is a special honor for movie stars [4]. Hepburn has been in the film for seven years, and she is deeply touched, but what she remembers most is that Hollywood has not forgotten her, the film has not forgotten her, and the audience has not forgotten her. /kloc-in the winter of 0/980, Hepburn met robert wolders, the man she later called "soul mate", which affected Hepburn's already dangerous marriage. Hepburn and andre doti finally became permanent life partners after their divorce. Although he has retired for many years, his acting skills are not inferior. After Robin Hood and Marion, she starred in Lineage (1979), Laughter (198 1) and Forever (1989). Since 1970s, the women's liberation movement in Europe and America has been in the ascendant. Women are no longer satisfied with being men's playthings and vassals. They leave their families and go out into the society, working and struggling like men. In recent years, teenage actresses have successfully created this new female image and are very popular. In contrast, Hepburn still can't jump out of the innocent, lively and kind girl image after her comeback, which can't help but give people a feeling of backwardness and nostalgia, which makes people sigh and regret. This is one of the main reasons why none of her four films are very popular after she returned to the film industry. In any case, Audrey Hepburn's life was brilliant. The screen image she created in the golden age, like herself, left a good impression on people. Her unique page in film history will not be erased by time. On April 22nd, 199 1, the Lincoln Center Film Association awarded Hepburn Gala the honorary award. Starting from 1972, this award is awarded to the most talented and respected artists in the world every year. The winners were Chaplin, laurence olivier, Elizabeth Taylor, james stewart and other movie stars, which highly praised Hepburn's film career and extraordinary acting skills. Hepburn in his later years is still in his later years, glowing with light and heat for public welfare. From 65438 to 0988, she served as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF. In this post, she held some concerts and fund-raising activities from time to time, visited children in some poor areas from time to time, and traveled all over Ethiopia, Sudan, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bangladesh and other countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and was widely loved and welcomed by local people. 1992 Finally, she went to Somalia as a seriously ill child to visit those starving children. Her love and personality are as wonderful as her movies. When Mother Teresa, the Nobel Peace Prize winner, learned that Audrey Hepburn was dying, she ordered all the nuns to pray for Audrey Hepburn's miraculous recovery all night. 1993 65438+1On October 20th, Hepburn died of colon cancer in his residence in Tolohenaz, Switzerland. In recognition of her efforts for the unfortunate children all over the world, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awarded her the 1993 Oscar Humanitarian Award. At this time, Hepburn died, and her son Sean Hepburn Ferrer accepted the award.
Win an Oscar.
Award-winning experience 1953 Her starring Roman Holiday was successfully released, so Hepburn was nominated for the best actress in the Oscar for the first time. According to the usual practice, all the nominees for the award must attend the final evaluation ceremony of the award. Unusually, this award ceremony was held in both Los Angeles and new york. The NBC television network connected the two places into an organic whole, and General Motors invested $270,000 to purchase the television broadcasting rights during the award ceremony. 1On March 25th, 954, Hepburn finished performing The Mermaid in new york. After the curtain call, he plunged into a taxi. In the taxi, she changed her clothes and got off the bus. She passed through the huge fan base outside the theater. She trotted along, followed by her mother, the baroness. Under the escort of a policeman, he went straight to the award-winning scene-Century Theatre. For a moment, she felt exhausted, plus hope, hope, anxiety and fear. Everything that night seemed like a dream to her, and all the impressions were vague. Through the hall, there were a large number of reporters and admirers, and the flash kept shining brightly. She immediately hid in the dressing room to wash the paint on her face. After waiting for five minutes, impatient reporters and photographers became impatient and clapped loudly on the door. Helpless, Hepburn had to let them in and took some photos first. When Hepburn entered the venue, the TV screen was playing the nomination list for best actress read by Mexican host Jalai Cooper. Hepburn found a place to sit down, and then saw Cooper open an envelope, took out a piece of paper with nothing, and pretended to read out the list of winners. Hepburn's heart was pounding. She clenched her nails and waited nervously for the final result. I saw the master of ceremonies of the Century Theatre step onto the stage and announce, "Winner: Audrey Hepburn." Hepburn could hardly believe his ears. With cheers, she jumped up from her seat and ran to the side of the stage. Because of excessive excitement, she should have gone to the right, but she ran to the left. The MC hurriedly called her to the center of the stage, and she almost bumped into the MC when she grabbed the prize [5]. She held the golden statue and said, "This is really unbearable." After a few more official words of thanks, she left the stage. Then the press conference. Hepburn lost the golden statue because of ecstasy. She remembers where it is, but no one can find it. So she can't get the gold medal for taking pictures. Someone took out another one for her to hold. Luckily, her mobile phone was found in the bathroom. When she got home, she couldn't sleep and was absorbed. The baroness didn't sleep well all night.
A few days later, Hepburn heard another good news: she won the annual Tony Award for American Drama. Since then, honor has been pouring in on her. Facts have proved that Hepburn is at the peak of his career at this time. Since she made her first 40-minute short film on 1948, it's really remarkable that she won such an honor in just five or six years. She has simply become a "nouveau riche" in reputation, which is really "a little unbearable". Hepburn won the 26th Oscar for Best Actress, which marked that Hollywood entered an era of young talents. People are ecstatic about the appearance of such a fresh, meaningful, pure and lovely image in the film industry, and the whole world congratulates her. Hepburn was happy, too. She decorated her room with He Wen from all over the world to celebrate her success. After that, it was smooth sailing and became a dazzling star in European and American film circles.
Choose your movies carefully, not abuse them.
Hepburn has made 26 films in his life, which should be regarded as the least among the famous actors in Europe and America. But almost every performance is unforgettable. She shot carefully,
Roman holiday stills (13)
I have been filming for 26 years, and I only shoot one film every year on average. After Roman Holiday became famous, she not only carefully selected the script, but also cooperated with first-class directors. Therefore, every film made by Hepburn is of high standard and high box office, which has won unanimous praise from the film industry and film critics. Roman holiday is self-evident. After the premiere of War and Peace 1956, some viewers wrote to the newspaper and said, "Hepburn plays so well that every time I open the novel War and Peace, Natasha with Hepburn's head will pop up on the paper." In Breakfast at Tiffany's, Hepburn plays a cynical, superficial and vain young woman, Holly Golightly. After the film was released, it aroused strong repercussions in the society. According to Washington post, several college students "have been distracted by Hepburn for a week, and there seems to be a kind of magic that they can't get rid of. They are dragged to the cinema to see Holly Golightly every night. " The theme song "Moon River" was written by Henry Mancini specially for Hepburn, and Hepburn sang it himself. Later, it not only won the Oscar for Best Song, but also became one of the most popular movie songs in Europe and America.
I have never worked hard at my job.
The most striking and moving thing about Hepburn's treatment of movies is that she has always been very diligent and serious in filming. She said, "I never had any talent. I admire my work and I try my best. " Yes, she did. In order to make the costume perfect, Hepburn stood still for several hours in the process of making The Mermaid. While filming the biography of a nun, she suddenly got kidney calculi, but she still forced herself to get up and continue working. She was caught in the heavy rain for hours and broke her spine because of riding. She was once accused of hitting someone else's car because she was learning to drive. I also spent several months patiently taming a deer to shoot and playing its mother ... because of her talent and hard work, her acting skills became more and more proficient and more and more popular with the audience. Even those harsh film critics praised her and awarded her various film awards. She has been nominated for five Oscars, which means that she has been among the top five female stars in European and American film circles for at least five years. Her popularity is growing, and people are paying her more and more. When she filmed War and Peace on 1955, her salary was as high as 300,000 US dollars, which was the highest in the world at that time. 1964 In My Fair Lady, her income was as high as 1 10,000 dollars, making her the second actress with a million dollars after Elizabeth Taylor who starred in Cleopatra.
Temperament is always so elegant
Hepburn is a rare treasure in the world film industry. Her appearance is exquisite, beautiful and attractive. Her slim figure, her temperament.
Hepburn-Eternal Noble Temperament (20 photos)
Always so elegant and pure. In the eyes of the audience, she never poses in front of the camera, let alone nudity and provocative actions to please the audience, and pornographic movies have nothing to do with her. When filming couples on 1976, there was a seaside scene in which Hepburn and the hero had to wear swimsuits. However, Hepburn, who is elegant, beautiful, sensitive and demanding, is extremely nervous at the thought of showing her figure in front of thousands of fans in Qian Qian for the first time. The director comforted her and cheered her up, saying that her figure was the envy of most women. She's still nervous. Although she filmed the play, her performance was very artificial, obviously pretending to be happy. Her noble sentiment of leading an honest and clean life is very rare in the western film industry, especially among Hollywood female stars.
