From any vantage point Audrey Hepburn was a remarkable woman on many fronts aside from being a wonderful actress, dancer and model. As a little girl growing up in the Nazi occupied Netherlands and surviving a number of health conditions due to malnutrition, Hepburn grew to a lovely and talented woman that embodied the standard for elegance and class in her day. Despite tremendous success on the movie screen Hepburn never lost her connection to common people, and contributed her time and wealth to numerous humanitarian efforts - and was named a Goodwill Ambassador of UNICEF.
Professionally, Hepburn won an Academy Award, an Emmy Award, a Grammy Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, 2 Tony Awards and 3 BAFTA Awards. Even perhaps more impressive were Hepburn's awards for humanitarian contributions, these include Institute for Human Understanding's International Humanitarian Award, variety Clubs International Humanitarian Award, Children's Institute International Champion of Children Award and the UNICEF Presidential Medal of Freedom.
