1929年5月4日出生于比利时布鲁塞尔，自小便表现出对音乐舞蹈的浓厚兴趣。当沉浸于成为一各芭蕾舞艺术家的梦想之时，二战爆发，家园和艺术学院先后被毁，令她自觉前途越来越暗淡。

1948年，赫本与母亲（父母于1938年离异）迁至英国伦敦，进入著名的MarieRambert`s学校学习芭蕾舞，并开始在一些音乐剧担任角色。1951年，赫本在意大利演出，坐在台下的法国著名女作家高莱特夫人一眼便认定她是自己作品《金粉世界》中“姬姬”一角的化身，便邀请她到纽约好莱坞出演这个角色，这令赫本在好莱坞一举成名，并为她开启了美国之门。

1953年她轻松通过了由威廉惠勒导演的《罗马假日》的试镜，并与好莱坞名影星格利高里派克一起主演了这部影片。该片风靡世界，她扮演的楚楚动人的安妮公主一头黑色短发，外貌优美脱俗，体态轻盈苗条，在金发性感女郎风行的年代，一下子吸引了观众的目光。赫本不仅俘虏全世界亿万青少年的心，同时连评论家们也都不知不觉被她吸引，该片令她获得当年奥斯卡最佳女演员奖，与此同时她还因在百老汇戏剧《翁丹》中的表演荣获托尼奖。

从50年代到60年代，赫本完成自身的转型，结束了她幻想的纯洁世界生活阶段，逐渐从虚幻世界走到了现实生活中。1954年9月，赫本与美国著名男演员MelFerrer结婚。在事业上，她开始尝试饰演不同类型的角色。她主演了许多影片，如《战争与和平》（1956年）、《甜妞儿》（1957年）、《黄昏之恋》（1957年）、《绿厦》（1957年）、《孩子们的时刻》（1962年）、《谜中谜》（1963年）《巴黎假期》（1964年）、《窈窕淑女》（1964年），其中那些仪态万方、典雅淳厚的女性形象，给人印象最为深刻。

她的表演质朴而富于激情。在她主演的影片《龙凤配》（1954年）、《修女传》（1959年）、《蒂凡尼的早餐》（1961年）和《等到天黑》（1967年）中，赫本表现出色，四次获得奥斯卡最佳女演员奖提名。

60年代后期她曾长期息影，激流勇退的原因，可能是她意识到今后不可能有更大的发展，她必须接受自己不复年轻的事实，而实际上，她也需要时间来抚养她的孩子。1976年，赫本与第二任丈夫AndreaDotti的婚姻发生危机，这成为赫本冒险复出影坛的原因之一。同年，她在影片《罗宾和玛丽安》中露面，紧接在又拍摄了《血统》（1979年）、《哄堂大笑》（1981年）两部影片，但赫本的复出并未能得到预期的效果，均不成功，这使赫本决定从此息影。

1989年，赫本最后一次面对摄像机，是在史蒂芬斯皮尔伯格导演的《直到永远》中扮演一个身着白色长袍的纤弱天使。

《罗马假日》（Roman Holiday）与《第凡内早餐》（Breakfast At Tiffany’s）的不朽美人奥黛莉赫本，尽管人已缥缈，魅力依旧长存，在1项集合时尚家、模特儿经纪人与化妆师等专家的调查统计中拔 得头筹，而仍然活跃好莱坞的明星丽芙泰勒排名居次。

　　奥黛莉赫本在多达76%的选票中，均被圈选为世界前10大美女，评分项目包括了不化妆的自然美、内在的气质美与健康的生活态度等，证明奥黛莉赫本脱颖而出，绝非只凭一张脸蛋，这项调查的2至5名依序为丽芙泰勒、凯特布兰琪、安琪琳娜裘莉，以及嫁给摩洛哥王室的已故前奥斯卡影后葛丽丝凯莉。

　　能和奥黛莉赫本共享美丽盛名，丽芙泰勒感到受宠若惊，不过最近她却深受严重的“魔戒症候群”困扰：“因为亚玟的角色没有太多台词，害我接下来的片子有点适应不良，突然觉得脑袋空空，埋怨剧本又臭又长。”丽芙泰勒回忆继《魔戒》之后，接演第一部片《纽泽西爱未眠》（Jersey Girls）的情景：“我常常站在那里，不知道要说什么，只盼望工作人员帮我提词，甚至一度严重怀疑自己的记忆力是不是出了什么问题？”

EDDA VAN HEEMSTRA HEPBURN-RUSTON was born on May 4, 1929 in Brussels (布鲁塞尔), Belgium (比利时).

Her parents, Baroness Ella Van Heemstra and Joseph Hepburn-Ruston, divorced (离婚) in 1935 after her father was suspected of embezzling (盗用) some of his wife's wealth. After a brief period with her father in England, Hepburn returned to Arnhem (阿纳姆[荷兰东部城市]), Holland to live with her mother.

                                     

She vigorously studied dance at the Arnhem Conservatory (音乐学校) of Music and Dance during World War II despite the fact that by 1942 her family's estate had been completely seized by the Nazis (纳粹党人).

                           

After many harrowing experiences during the war including near starvation (饥饿), Hepburn and her mother moved to London when she was 17 so she could study ballet at the Notting Hill Gate School. When it finally became apparent that Audrey was too tall to become a professional dancer, she began to pursue (从事) a stage career. 
                                             

While filming MONTE CARLO BABY (1951) (one of a few British films in which Hepburn had a small role), she was noticed by the French novelist (小说家) Collette who decided to cast her in the title role of her new play Gigi which opened on Broadway (百老汇) in November 1951. By 1953 she had made her American film debut and become a star with her Academy Award-winning performance in William Wyler's ROMAN HOLIDAY with Gregory Peck. Though she was nominated (提名) four more times as Best Actress for her roles in SABRINA (《龙凤配》) (1954)

 

opposite Humphrey Bogart, THE NUN'S STORY (《修女传》) (1959),

BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S (《第凡内早餐》) (1961),

and WAIT UNTIL DARK (《盲女惊魂记》) (1967),

Audrey received her only other Academy Award, The Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award (奥斯卡金像奖), posthumously for her work with UNICEF. Her son Sean Hepburn Ferrer (born July 17, 1960) accepted it on her behalf.

Hepburn found the most success over the course of her career in sophisticated romantic comedies, often opposite much older leading men. Besides ROMAN HOLIDAY (《罗马假日》).

Some of these included Stanley Donen's musical FUNNY FACE (《黄昏之恋》) (1957) with Fred Astaire, LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON (《黄昏之恋》) (1957) opposite Gary Cooper.

And the suspenseful romantic comedy CHARADE (《谜中迷》) (1963) with Cary Grant. Hepburn also played some more dramatic roles in WAR AND PEACE (《战争与和平》) (1956) in which she starred with husband (from 1954 to 1967) Mel Ferrer.

THE NUN'S STORY  (《修女传》) (1959) and the Best Picture of 1964.George Cukor's lavish musical MY FAIR LADY (《窈窕淑女》), also starring Rex Harrison.

Hepburn made only a few pictures after 1967. Following her divorce from Ferrer, Hepburn married the prominent Italian psychiatrist (精神病医师) Dr. Andrea Dotti with whom she had a second son, Luca, born February 8, 1970; but this marriage too ended in divorce in 1982.

 In 1988 Hepburn was invited to become a Goodwill Ambassador (大使) for UNICEF and she traveled from Ethiopia to Thailand bringing attention to the plight of the world's starving children. President George Bush even presented her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her work in 1992. Hepburn concentrated on her charitable (慈善) works for UNICEF (联合国儿童基金会) up to the end of her life when, on January 20, 1993, she died of colon cancer (直肠癌).
