Audrey Hepburn

While Audrey Hepburn is widely celebrated for her iconic status as an actress and fashion symbol, she made notable contributions to the world of music, primarily through her performances in film soundtracks. Her enchanting vocal performances have lived on to become as timeless as her screen presence.

Born on May 4, 1929, in Ixelles, Belgium, Audrey Hepburn became a cherished star of American cinema during Hollywood’s Golden Age. Starting her career as a chorus girl in West End musical theatre productions, she transitioned to Hollywood films with the critically acclaimed "Roman Holiday" in 1953, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. Hepburn's association with music is best remembered from her singing "Moon River," composed by Henry Mancini for the film "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (1961). She also showcased her musical talents in "Funny Face" (1957), where she performed several numbers alongside co-star Fred Astaire. Her dearth of musical recordings is eclipsed by the impact of the few signature songs she delivered, which have been remastered and memorialized for successive generations in albums like "Breakfast At Tiffany's Original Soundtrack" and "Music From The Films Of Audrey Hepburn." Though her primary acclaim stemmed from her work in film, Hepburn’s graceful charm and dulcet tones in her limited musical forays continue to endear her to audiences around the world.
