"Keep looking, don't settle!"

The woman behind the character.

I've given a lot of thought on what my first post should be about. I haven't made much effort to decide to write it about the woman who had given birth to so many important characters in the world of cinema.

She was born in 1929, in Brussels, Belgium. During the World War II, she lived in The Netherlands with her parents. She has soon become a ballerina and a photographer's model. After working in a Brodway play called Gigi, she started taking part on movies. She's become famous mainly due to the film "Breakfast at Tiffany's", in 1961.

Audrey Hepburn was married twice and had two children. Speaking of children, she used to do a great job with them. Soon after Hepburn's final film role, she was appointed a goodwill ambassador to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). She used to travel all around the world to help dying, sick and poor children.

"I have a broken heart. I feel desperate. I can't stand the idea that two million people are in imminent danger of starving to death, many of them children, and not because there isn't tons of food sitting in the northern port of Shoa. It can't be distributed. Last spring, Red Cross and UNICEF workers were ordered out of the northern provinces because of two simultaneous civil wars... I went into rebel country and saw mothers and their children who had walked for ten days, even three weeks, looking for food, settling onto the desert floor into makeshift camps where they may die. Horrible. That image is too much for me. The 'Third World' is a term I don't like very much, because we're all one world. I want people to know that the largest part of humanity is suffering."

Hepburn died in 1993, suffering from colorectal cancer. She was, indeed, a great person, whose involvment with humanitarian work has only increased the respect she had first acquired all over the world because of her movies.
