Screen legend Audrey Hepburn gained her international fame in 1953 with Roman Holiday, and received an Oscar Award for Best Actress, a rare accomplishment for a 24-year-old newcomer. She went on to play opposite many famous leading men, including Fred Astaire (Funny Face), Cary Grant (Charade), and George Peppard (Breakfast at Tiffany’s).Listed in Who’s Who in the World and celebrated as a distinguished author, historian, and lecturer, Richard René Silvin has captivated audiences worldwide with his vivid portrayals of iconic figures who have shaped cultural history. In this presentation, he turns his attention to one of the most beloved women of the 20th century: Audrey Hepburn.
René Silvin presents Audrey’s charming life and will include personal stories about the times he met her. A multi-dimensional woman, who died much too young. After two divorces, from which she had two sons, she found happiness with life-partner Robert Wolders.
Style icon — Together with Hubert de Givenchy (Sabrina) and Cecil Beaton (My Fair Lady), Audrey created unforgettable fashion statements. No one can forget the moment when Eliza Doolittle descends the stairs to surprise everyone with her poise and elegance, or when Sabrina meets her lover on the tennis court in a dazzling de Givenchy creation.
Humanitarian — Hepburn never forgot growing up in war-ravaged Netherlands during World War II and ended up a malnourished child receiving aid from UNICEF in 1946. These memories created her resolve to use her fame and fortune to travel to some of the poorest countries in the world. Unselfishly, she raised millions of dollars for her cause and UNICEF.
Your ticket includes the lecture, a light lunch, a non-alcoholic beverage, tax and tip.
