If I just say the name Audrey Hepburn...Im sure the iconic images that made her famous will come to your mind....those strong eye brows, pixie cut bangs, long satin gloves...and lets not forget the pearls. While Marilyn Monroe became an icon of flirty seduction...Audrey became an icon of fashion, charm and most of all, class. Her fashion alone helped forge the style of the 60's....the long lashes ... black liquid eye liner. I think she was a stunning women but the thing that stands out to me about her is that in her later life...after winning countless awards and being named the "most beautiful actress..."... she left it all behind to go do humanitarian work with Unicef in Africa, South America and Asia. Being a war survivor herself as a child in German occupied Netherlands...she felt compelled to return to those who were hurting and do something about it. She became a Goodwill Ambassador and worked to help children all over the world. This is how the "most beautiful woman" spent the rest of her life.
Live to Give.
