【英文简介】奥黛丽赫本英文生平简介
Audrey Hepburn was born on May 4, 1929 in Brussels, Belgium, with the given name of Edda Kathleen van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston. She really was blue-blood from the beginning with her father, a wealthy English banker, and her mother, a Dutch baroness. After her parents divorced, Audrey went to London with her mother where she went to a private girls school. Later, when her mother moved back to the Netherlands, she attended private schools as well. While vacationing with her mother in Arnhem, Holland, Hitler's army suddenly took over the town. It was here that she fell on hard times during the Nazi occupation. Audrey suffered from depression and malnutrition. After the liberation, Audrey went to a ballet school in London on a scholarship and later began a modeling career. As a model, she was graceful and, it seemed, she had found her niche in life--until the film producers came calling. After being spotted modeling by a producer, she was signed to a bit part in the European film Nederlands in 7 lessen (1948) in 1948. Later, she had a speaking role in the 1951 film, Young Wives' Tale (1951) as Eve Lester. The part still wasn't much, so she headed to America to try her luck there.
Audrey gained immediate prominence in the US with her role in Roman Holiday (1953) in 1953. This film turned out to be a smashing success as she won an Oscar as Best Actress. This gained her enormous popularity and more plum roles. One of the reasons for her popularity was the fact that she was so elf like and had class, unlike the sex-goddesses of the time. Roman Holiday was followed by another similarly wonderful performance in the 1957 classic Funny Face (1957). Sabrina (1954), in 1954, for which she received another Academy nomination, and Love in the Afternoon (1957), in 1957, also garnered rave reviews. In 1959, she received yet another nomination for her role in _Nun's Story (1959). Audrey reached the pinnacle of her career when she played Holly Golightly in the delightful film, Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) in 1961. For this she received another nomination. One of Audrey's most radiant roles was in the fine production of My Fair Lady (1964), in 1964. Her co-star Rex Harrison once was asked to identify his favorite leading lady. Without hesitation, he replied, "Audrey Hepburn in MY FAIR LADY". After a couple of other movies, she hit pay dirt and another nomination in 1967's Wait Until Dark (1967).
By the end of the sixties, after her divorce from actor Mel Ferrer, Audrey decided to retire while she was on top. Later she married Dr. Andrea Dotti. From time to time, she would appear on the silver screen. One film of note was Robin and Marian (1976) with Sean Connery in 1976. In 1988, Audrey became a special ambassador to the United Nations UNICEF fund helping children in Latin America and Africa, a position she retained until 1993. She was named to People's magazine as one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world. Her last film was Always (1989) in 1989. Audrey Hepburn died on January 20, 1993 in Tolochnaz, Switzerland, from colon cancer. She had made a total of 31 high quality movies. Her elegance and style will always be remembered in film history as evidenced by her being named to Empire magazine's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time".
1929年5月4日，在比利时的布鲁塞尔，一个名叫埃达•凯瑟琳•万•埃米斯塔•赫本-鲁斯特的女孩来到了这个世界上，她就是日后的奥黛莉•赫本。赫本出生于一个贵族之家，父亲是一个富有的银行家，母亲则是一位荷兰女爵士。出生后不久，赫本的父母就离异了。赫本随母亲来到了伦敦，在一所女子学校开始接受教育。当她和母亲在荷兰的奥赫姆渡假的时侯，希特勒的军队突然的占领了这个小镇。在这里，赫本度过了纳粹占领时期的一段艰难岁月。这段时期，赫本情绪低落并且营养不良。
在二战胜利以后，赫本获得资助来到伦敦的一所芭蕾学校学习，不久，成为了一名职业模特。赫本是一位优雅的模特，而且做模特似乎也使她如鱼得水，直到一个电影制片打来电话。在被那位电影制片选中之后，1948年赫本在一部欧洲电影“Nederlands in 7 lessen”中扮演了一个小角色。之后的1951年，赫本又在一部有声影片“年轻的主妇”中扮演伊娃•勒斯特。戏份仍然没有多少，所以赫本决定到美国碰碰运气。
1953年“罗马假日”中的演出，为赫本在美国的星途奠定了一个良好的基础。这部影片取得了巨大的成功，赫本凭借此片获得了当年的奥斯卡最佳女主角。这使赫本赢得了广泛的声誉，并且也获得了更多的演出机会。人们之所以喜欢赫本，一个重要的原因就是，她像是一个落入人间的精灵，高贵典雅，和那个时代的性感女神完全不同。“罗马假日”之后，赫本又参与了“Funny Face (1957)”“ Sabrina (1954)”两部相似题材电影的演出，凭借后者赫本又获得了另一项奥斯卡提名。随后，1957年的“Love in the Afternoon”也获得了广泛的好评。
