description: Audrey Hepburn - a luminously drail will-o'-the-wisp who has enchanted and beguiled with hen wide-eyed high spirits in a whole series of delightful films - in Breakfast at Tiffany's, in The Nun's Story, Oscar- winning in Roman Holiday and changing from chrysalis to butterfly in My Fair Lady.But behind the elfin grace is the iron discipline of her training as a dancer, behind the Givenchy-gowned elegance is the hunger and danger of a childhood in Nazi-occupied Belgium and behind the insouciant on-screen radiance is a woman whose private life has been tense with anxiety and misfortune.Here is the true Audrey Hepburn - an actress who has brought a sunshine lift into millions of hearts.
