I've seen this picture of Audrey Hepburn a MILLION times. It's from Breakfast at Tiffany's which I watched for the first time last year. Totally different from what I thought it was about. I had a preconceived notion in my head based on various pictures. 
It turns out Miss Hepburn was not only beautiful, elegant and graceful, but smart & confident too. She loved to read and I have found many quotes that I think are brilliant and important for women and girls. She believed you could be strong, smart and independent and yet embrace your femininity. I usually don't like to hear movie star's personal opinions about things, I most often disagree and then I can't stand to watch them and don't want to support their efforts (extreme?), but Miss Hepburn? One in a million.
She was positive and was proud of being a woman and all that comes with it.
She had great insight into life and the hardships that are part of it.
Beautiful woman, inside and out.

During much of World War II, she studied at the Arnhem Conservatory in The Netherlands. After the Nazis invaded the country, Hepburn and her mother struggled to survive.
