Audrey Hepburn was 24 when she did the movie Roman Holiday which was her first starring role though she had previously performed on stage and in the Ballet. Roman Holiday also starred Gregory Peck. Here's a trivia note - originally Audrey Hepburn's name was going to say "Introducing Audrey Hepburn" at the end of the credits. But Gregory Peck was so sure that she would win the Best Actress Academy Award for this film, that he persuaded his agent and others to put her name in big letters with his before the title of the film. He was right - she won the Academy Award.

What inspired Audrey hepburn?
Asked by Wiki User
Actress, philanthropist. Born on May 4, 1929, in Brussels, Belgium. A talented performer, Audrey Hepburn was known for her beauty, elegance, and grace. Often imitated, she remains one of Hollywood's greatest style icons. A native of Brussels, Hepburn spent part of her youth in England at a boarding school there. During much of World War II, she studied at the Arnhem Conservatory in The Netherlands. After the Nazis invaded the country, Hepburn and her mother struggled to survive. She reportedly helped the resistance movement by delivering messages, according to an article in The New York Times.
After the war, Hepburn continued to pursue an interest in dance. She studied ballet in Amsterdam and later in London. In 1948, Hepburn made her stage debut as a chorus girl in the musical High Button Shoes in London. More small parts on the British stage followed. She was a chorus girl in Sauce Tartare (1949), but was moved to a featured player in Sauce Piquante (1950).
That same year, Hepburn made her feature film debut in 1951's One Wild Oat in an uncredited role. She went on to parts in such films asYoung Wives' Tales (1951) and The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) starring Alec Guiness. Her next project on the New York stage introduced her to American audiences.
On BroadwayAt the age of 22, Audrey Hepburn went to New York to star in the Broadway production of Gigi, based on the book by the French writer Colette. Set in Paris around 1900, the comedy focuses on the title character, a young teenage girl on the brink of adulthood. Her relatives try to teach her ways of being a courtesan, to enjoy the benefits of being with a wealthy man without having to marry. They try to get a friend of the family, Gaston, to become her patron, but the young couple has other ideas.Only a few weeks after the play premiered, news reports indicated that Hepburn was being wooed by Hollywood. Only two years later, she took the world by storm in the film Roman Holiday (1953) withGregory Peck. Audiences and critics alike were wowed by her portrayal of Princess Ann, the royal who escapes the constrictions of her title for a short time. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for this performance.
The next year Hepburn returned to the Broadway stage to star inOndinewith Mel Ferrer. A fantasy, the play told the story of a water nymph who falls in love with a human played by Ferrer. With her lithe and lean frame, Hepburn made a convincing sprite in this sad story about love found and lost. http://www.biography.com/people/audrey-hepburn-9335788

In 1989 she was awarded as a Goodwill Ambassador of Unicef. She continued to be very involved tip 1992 when she found out she had appendixal cancer, and she died in January of 1993.

Was Audrey hepburn bisexual?
Asked by Wiki User
It's never been confirmed or denied.
Although there has been tons of speculation dating back to the 1930's, it has never been proven. Personally, as a life long Kate fan who's pretty much read every single thing even written about her (both the true and the down right ridiculous and completely fabricated), I do believe that she was bisexual.
But seeing as she is no longer with us, it seems doubtful that we'll ever know for sure if she was or wasn't. Unless any compelling and definitive evidence to support the rumors ever comes to light in the future, which is pretty doubtful.
Sorry that wasn't the answer you were looking for. :(
