(December 7, 2006) According to a new biography ‘Enchantment’ by Donald Spoto, Hepburn desperately wanted to have children, but she always ended up getting hooked to sterile men, including actor William Holden and writer Robert Anderson.

(2006) Voted as the most naturally beautiful woman of all time by an extensive poll of beauty editors, makeup artists, model agencies and fashion photographers. (2004) Brother Sean Hepburn Ferrer said in his book, Audrey Hepburn, an Elegant Spirit that she was a woman beset with sadness and self-doubt. Hepburn was remembered in a U.S. postage stamp released by the Postal Service on Wednesday as part of its Legends of Hollywood series. (June 12, 2003) Rome is honoring Hepburn with an exhibit of 130 posters and sketches from Italian publicity campaigns for her movies, which along with ROMAN HOLIDAY include SABRINA, MY FAIR LADY and BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S -- The proceeds will go toward the building of a school in the Horn of Africa, sponsored by UNICEF for whom Hepburn was an ambassador from 1987 until her death at 63 in 1993. (April 30, 2003) On Monday evening, admirers of the late Hepburn had the chance to take home some of the actress' personal effects and other donated items at a Sotheby's charity, which raised $177,000 -- Hepburn's son, Sean Hepburn Ferrer, said the money would be used to support the Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund, which was founded in 1994, a year after she died, and works with the U.S. fund for UNICEF. (April 23, 2003) Hepburn’s family is blasting a museum dedicated to the late actress and wants it shut down – her two sons charge that an exhibition in Tolochenaz, Switzerland, is cheapening and exploiting her good name. (November 5, 2002) Hepburn epitomized a waif-like glamour, combining charm, effervescence, and grace. Magical screen presence, fashion arbiter, shrine to good taste, and tireless crusader for children's rights, Hepburn has become one of the most enduring screen icons of the twentieth century. In BEN-HUR(1959), she visited the set during the filming of the chariot race (she was in the midst of shooting THE NUN STORY (1959)). This led to the false legend that she was an extra in the crowd scenes, as a favor to her former director, William Wyler. John Frankenheimer was hired to shoot BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY (1961) with Marilyn Monroe . When the producers suddenly moved to Switzerland and Hepburn replaced Monroe, she said she had never heard of Frankenheimer and insisted that he be paid off and another director be hired. In BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY (1961), she hated Danish pastries, making filming the famous opening scene a bit of a chore for her. MORE AUDREY HEPBURN TRIVIA
