“For beautiful eyes， look for the good in others； for beautiful lips， speak only words of kindness； and for poise， walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”
“明眸慧眼觀察人間善事；輕起朱唇言談婉轉得體；舉手投足間，儀態萬千，無不散發出一種秀外慧中、不可言喻的韻味。”
Audrey Hepburn
奧黛麗·赫本
Audrey fits none of the cliches and none of the cliches fit her.”
—Time Magazine
“I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's head is not in my mind， I just do my thing. ”
—Audrey
Innocent， ethereal in her rare beauty， Audrey Hepburn stood alone among the actresses of her time. Into the abundance of voluptuous American girls came this gamine with an enchanting Anglo-European accent. With her big eyes， long neck， demure smile， melodious voice and perfect wardrobe， that aura of an angel on earth， she dazzled moviegoers for decades and in her later years also worked hard as a special ambassador for UNICEF. Despite her glamour， charm and elegance， Hepburn is one star who has always been seen to have a real heart. Traveling to areas afflicted by famine and devastation， Hepburn worked to raise public awareness of the plight faced by children in times of crisis. Her commitment to alleviating the suffering of children was intense and genuine.
Audrey did not think of herself as a beauty. She found herself to be an awkward skinny broad with size 8 feet and a flat chest.
“You can always tell what kind of person a man really thinks you are by the earrings he gives you.” Audrey Hepburn was a mature， beautiful actress. Through her suffering， her courageous and brave personality emerged stronger than ever， making her one of the greatest actresses ever.
“It's that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up， others matter more that you do， so don't fuss ， dear， get on with it.”
Always modest， Audrey described herself as an actress that didn't have much technique because she never learned to act. Her own acting technique， such as it was， simply consisted of hard work， intense concentration and instinct. She had the magic ability to bridge the gap between herself and her audience， and to make her innermost feelings instantly known and shared. Director Billy Wilder once said of Audrey， “She had not gone to acting schools， she didn't hear the word Strasberg， she did not repeat in front of the mirror. She just was born with this kind of quality and she made it look so unforced， so simple， so easy.” Hepburn was incredibly charismatic. Wilder also said， “What is really needed in order to become a star is an extra element which god gives you or doesn't give you. You're born with it. You cannot learn it. God kissed on her cheek and there she was.” Most of the great movie stars have their partisans as well as detractors， but with Audrey Hepburn it is difficult to find negative comments.
