  • Welcome to the official Film/Art Gallery collection of original Audrey Hepburn vintage movie posters from her critically acclaimed catalog of timeless cinematic performances.

    Audrey Hepburn, or Audrey Kathleen Ruston, was a British actress and humanitarian. She is a film and a fashion icon thus was inducted into the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame.

    From Ixelles, Brussels, Hepburn spent parts of her childhood in Belgium, England, and the Netherlands. She learned ballet with Sonia Gaskell in Amsterdam beginning in 1945 and with Marie Rambert in London starting in 1948. She started performing as a chorus girl in West End musical theatre productions and then had guest appearances in several films. Hepburn starred in the 1951 Broadway play Gigi after being noticed by French novelist Colette, on whose work the play was based.

    The classic Hollywood icon became famous in the romantic comedy Roman Holiday (1953), with Gregory Peck, for which she was the first actress to win an Oscar, a Golden Globe Award, and a BAFTA Award for a single performance. She also won a Tony Award for Best Lead Actress in a Play for her performance in Ondine, that same year. Audrey Hepburn went on as the lead in a number of successful films, such as Sabrina (1954), in which Humphrey Bogart and William Holden fight for her affection, Funny Face (1957) a musical which she sang her own song parts, the drama The Nun's Story (1959), the romantic comedy Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), the thriller-romance Charade (1963), with Cary Grant, and the winning musical My Fair Lady (1964). She starred in the thriller Wait Until Dark, in 1967.

    After that, she only seldom appeared in films. In honor of her film career, she received the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award, BAFTA's Lifetime Achievement Award, the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award, and the Special Tony Award.

    Later in life, Audrey Hepburn dedicated much of her time to UNICEF, to which she had contributed since 1954. Then she worked in some of the underprivileged communities of Africa, South America, and Asia between 1988 and 1992. In December 1992, she was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom in honor of her work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. Later, Hepburn succumbed to appendiceal cancer at her home in Switzerland at the age of 63.
