Audrey Hepburn as You’ve Never Seen Her
In 1951, a 22-year-old Audrey Hepburn—then a recent European export—made her Broadway debut as the star of Gigi, a stage adaptation of Colette’s hit novella. Hollywood took note of the gamine ingénue with heavyweight acting chops, and two years later the world fell in love with the actress, as Princess Ann, in Roman Holiday. (A role that earned the “O” in her EGOT.) Now a new book of photographs, Audrey: The 50s (Dey Street Books) from David Wills, celebrates the person and the decade that gave us Funny Face and Sabrina, among many others. What follows is an exclusive preview, including some never-before-seen shots of the timeless icon.
