“She won every award—but called herself ugly.” 🎬🖤 Audrey Hepburn’s grace lit up Hollywood, yet behind the iconic roles and timeless beauty was a woman filled with doubt, insomnia, and quiet tears by the window. The rare details you’ve never heard — full story in the article below 👇
There is no denying that she was among the most desired and outstanding British actresses of all time. Recognized as a film and fashion icon, she became the third greatest female screen legend from the Hollywood cinema being induced onto the International Best Dressed Hall of Fame List. It was after «Roman Holiday» that she rose to fame becoming the first actress to win an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award and a BAFTA Award for a single performance.
Besides her career heights and accomplishments, Hepburn was also ranked as one of the most desired stars whose unearthly beauty and femininity made her one of a kind. As her son Luca recalls, the legendary actress, however, never considered herself beautiful. The actress never had the uniform beauty of her time. Even her mother made fun of her calling her an ugly duckling. Luca claims that in fact she was really elegant.
The graphic designer recalls that she truly was a sincere person not interested in fame and money calling her not a Kardashian-type celebrity. More and more people got to know her from «Breakfast at Tiffaniy’s» which brought her career into a new level. Throughout her whole life she struggled with insecurities about her looks and with men. Hepburn was really critical of herself and couldn’t meet her own expectations.
She used to bite her nails, cry for no reason and smoke cigarettes. Sometimes, she hadn’t gone out for days and looked through the window. Insomnia often disturbed her and she watched movies instead.
