Audrey Hepburn
How Audrey Hepburn contributed to the world?
Hi, I got an english assignment, which I have to introduce the class to a nominee whom I feel is worthy of the title of an outstanding global citizen.
I want to do about Audrey Hepburn but I kinda can’t find enough information about her. Could you please just summarise her achievements as an actress and a humanitarian? I know that she was a ambassador to the UNICEF.
Don’t just copy and paste from Wikipedia 
thanx !!
Aw I think she’s a great choice…. Here’s what I’ve found:
Audrey Hepburn, known for her starring roles in films such as Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and My Fair Lady, dedicated the last years of her life to helping children in need around the world.
Appointed as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 1988, she traveled to Africa, Asia, and Latin America on behalf of the children until her death in 1993.
“She was an inspiration,” said UNICEF Executive Director Carol Bellamy, “she brought enormous world attention to children. She raised the profile of the challenges they face.”
Not from wiki, it’s from the tribute website of her work. This should take you directly to all the work she did with UNICEF: http://www.ahepburn.com/herwork.htmlQ

My Fair Lady [Blu-ray] $18.99 Hollywood’s legendary “woman’s director,” George Cukor (The Women, The Philadelphia Story), transformed Audrey Hepburn into street-urchin-turned-proper-lady Eliza Doolittle in this film version of the Lerner and Loewe musical.

My Fair Lady (1964 Film Soundtrack) $8.65 My Fair Lady is–deservedly–one of the most famous musicals of all time. Its popular 1964 film version, directed by George Cukor, has ensured that for most people Audrey Hepburn is Eliza Doolittle, while Broadway-heads swear by Julie Andrews’s stage performance, immortalized on the 1956 cast album. Of course, for the purposes of a CD review it’s more accurate to compare the performances of Andrew… |
