During the later years of the war food became very scarce, yet Audrey kept dancing.
1948 was the year in which Audrey had her first screentime. The film was called 'Nederlands in 7 lessen' (Dutch in seven lessons)
From 1948 - 1950 Audrey appeared in a series of musicals- High Button Shoes, Sauce Tartare and Sauce Piquante.
In 1951 Audrey had roles in several films: One Wild Oat (hotel receptionist) Young Wives Tale (Eve Lester), Laughter in Paradise (cigarette girl), The Lavender Hill Mob (Chiquita), Monte Carlo Baby (Linda Farrel) and finally, the theatre production of Gigi. It toured from 1951 to 1953 in New York.
1953 Audrey was the star of Roman Holiday. Instant Success. She won an Oscar for her role as Princess Anne. In 1954 she starred in Sabrina (originally called Sabrina Fair) with Humphrey Bogart and William Holden. Again a successful film, and earned her an Oscar nomination for best actress. Also in 1954 she starred in the theatre production of Ondine, with future Husband Mel Ferrer, and won a Tony Award for best dramatic actress. The second actress ever to win Best acress awards for cinema and theatre in the same year (go Audrey!)
Also for Roman Holiday she won a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Actress-Drama.
In 1956 was in War and Peace with husband Mel Ferrer and Henry Fonda. 1957 danced with legondary dancer Fred Astaire, in Funny Face. Also she starred with Gary Cooper in Love In The Afternoon.
1959 Audrey received another Oscar nomination for The Nuns Story. Also in that year she starred in Green Mansions, which was directed by her husband. It was the only Hepburn movie that lost money. For that role she had a deer live with her, called IP, so they would be comfortable working together (sorry, if I worded that wrong!)
1960 was in The Unforgiven. The only western film she was in, and unfortunetly during filming her horse throw her, and she broke her back. (but thankfully recovered) It later led to a miscarriage.
In 1961 Audrey starred in her arguably most famous role, as Holly Golightly in Breakfast At Tiffany's. A role that was intended for Marilyn Monroe, but ended up giving Audrey another Oscar nomination. In this film Audrey wore the infamous little black dress.
1963 in Charade, a hitchcock-like film with Cary Grant.
1964 was in two films, the first being Paris when it Sizzles (again with WIlliam Holden) and second, My Fair Lady.
1966 was in How to Steal a Million. In 1967 she was in Wait Until Dark which earnt her another Oscar nomination, as well as Two For the Road. That year she also received a special Tony Award.
Audrey had a break from films to raise her two sons. In 1976 she returned to screen with Sean Connery in Robin and Marion. It shows a more mature Hepburn in the role of Lady Marion.
In 1979 was in Bloodline. 1981 in They All Laughed. 1987 (a great year! The year I was born!!!) was in a TV movie, Love Among Thieves. 1988 becomes UNICEF's Goodwill ambassader. 1989 Audrey Hepburn was in her last film ever, Always. Suitably, perhaps, she played an angel.
And finally, in 1993, Audrey dies in her home in Tolochenaz, Switzerland, surrounded by her family.
Many tributes were made for the late filmstar, one that caught my attention and always makes me a little teary eyed is, the store Tiffany's put an add in the New York Times for 'Our Huckleberry Friend' in tribute to her film, Breakfast at Tiffany's.
