Audrey Hepburn would have turned 85 on May 4, 2014. She passed away 21 years ago, on January 20, 1993, at eight o'clock in the evening. The actress, who died of a rare type of cancer, was only 63 years old.
In the memory of most fans, she will forever remain a thin, big-eyed and very young girl from the films "Roman Holiday", "Funny Face" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's", however, over the years, the beauty and charm of Audrey Hepburn not only did not fade, but blossomed in lush color, fueled by life experience and incessant inner work, as is the case with truly harmonious and purposeful personalities.
All with the same modest and slightly sly girlish smile, which totally subverted men at her feet, and impeccable hairstyles, which many ladies are trying to copy today, Hepburn proved to the whole world with a living example that style and elegance are not the prerogative of thirty-year-olds. but a direct expression of inner beauty, which, under the right conditions, only blooms over the years.
She taught women a simple thought that does not fit well with the synthetic Hollywood reality: there is too much beauty in life to spend time and energy worrying about facial wrinkles on the forehead. Following the Huffington Post, in honor of Audrey's 85th birthday, we have compiled a selection of photographs that show the inimitable dignity with which the actress entered her period of maturity.
And as for the early stage images of Hepburn, many of them have long been entrenched in the status of cult pop icons. Perhaps the most famous of them is the naive and eccentric Holly Golightly from the film adaptation of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" by Truman Capote. A black-and-white photograph in which Audrey-Holly brings an incredibly long mouthpiece to her lips has become the basis for many replicas of all kinds of styles and art directions, including the experiments of the artist Eliot Franz with corrugated cardboard.
