The fairy drops in our temporal world
Audrey Hepburn
,1929, Hepburn was born in a luxurious curtilage in Brussels,Belguim
She really was blue-blooded(出身名门) from the beginning with her father, a wealthy English banker, and her mother, a Dutch baroness(荷兰贵族).
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 herlands, she attended private schools as well. While spending a holiday with her mother in Holland, Hitler(希特勒)’s army suddenly took over the town.
Lack of food,with the height of 170cm,she looked like a death’s-head. The war brought permanent harm to her. She was anaemic(贫血),fleshless(消瘦),thin and weak. Her figure was slender all the time.
After the war, the baroness sent her to learn ballet in London.
With the big eyes,high malar(颧骨),delicate nose,square shoulder,slim body and slender legs,she thought she would be a terpsichorean(舞蹈家).
But she found that her skill was not good as others, and she was too tall. The hunger she suffered during the war also damaged her strength and body.
She began a modeling career. As a model, she was graceful and, it seemed, she had found her suitable place in life-until the film producers came calling. After being found by a producer, she was signed to a bit part in a European film in 1948. Later, she had a speaking role in a 1951 film. The part still wasn’t much, so she headed to America to try her luck there.
Audrey gained immediate prominence in the U. S. with her role in Roman Holiday (罗马假日)in 1953. We Chinese knew her from this film.
Roman Holiday
In the film,she acted the princess Annie(安妮公主).This gained her great popularity,one of the reasons for her popularity was the fact that she was so elf-like(精灵可爱) and had class(优雅的气质).
This film turned out to be a great ess and she won an Oscar as Best Actress.
