As a tireless advocate for children’s rights, Hepburn also served as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador from 1988 to 1993, receiving the United States’ highest civilian award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, in 1992.
“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair,” Hepburn so famously said. “The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows and the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”
By all accounts, Hepburn also had a lighthearted streak. “I honestly think it is the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills…I love people who make me laugh.”
Hepburn also had one famous tongue-in-cheek quote about her own beauty: “I owe 50 percent of my beauty to my mother, and the other 50 percent to Erno Laszlo.”

Her secret to combatting dry skin
Audrey Hepburn skin care: As well as ensuring she was well hydrated from the inside, Hepburn said that she used “a lot of moisturisers and oils, because I have rather a dry skin”. As well as these two skin saviours, she also applied yoghurt to her face, leaving it for half an hour, before washing it off. Fresh, Greek yoghurt contains lactic acid which helps to gently exfoliate while hydrating the skin.
She had the same dermatologist as Marilyn
Audrey Hepburn skin care: Alongside the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly and Ava Gardner, Hepburn used to see Hungarian dermatologist Erno Laszlo, whose skincare line still exists to this day. “I owe 50 per cent of my beauty to my mother, and the other 50 per cent to Erno Laszlo,” she once said.
