Top Five Audrey Hepburn Movies of All Time

Audrey Hepburn brought beauty and grace to Hollywood. Her ballet training made her seem light and airy on screen, while her life in Europe during WWII added depth and drama to her works. Hepburn left her mark on the film world and decades later, she’s still looked to as one of the greatest actresses of her time. Throughout her career she was a part of dozens of movies, but I’ve narrowed down, what I believe, to be her best. See what they are after the break.

Here we go!

5. My Fair Lady: Hepburn stared as Eliza Doolittle, in this 1964 romance. A professor and a colonel make a bet against whether the saucy Doolittle can be transformed into a proper lady. During the process, the professor falls in love with Hepburn’s character and is devastated when she leaves him for a young aristocrat. Despite the fairly sexist plot, Hepburn performs her double role of the flower girl and the elegant lady flawlessly.

4. Funny Face: Bookstore saleswoman, Jo Stockton (Hepburn), ends up in the background of a fashion photographer’s (Fred Astaire) photo shoot and catches the eye of both the photographer and the editor of a high fashion magazine. Stockton accepts a modeling job for the opportunity to see Paris, but soon falls in love with her new career. Hepburn, who began her career as a model, plays a convincing Stockton, who is slightly wary of the glamorous life.

When she disappears for a couple of years and returns from Paris a changed woman, her long-time crush finally notices her new, sophisticated self. Suddenly she has what she thought she always wanted only to find that her heart belongs to someone else. As usual, Hepburn performs a story of transformation with precision and grace.

2. Roman Holiday: A princess (Hepburn) longs to explore the world outside of her everyday royalty. One night, she manages to escape to the streets of Rome. After falling asleep due to a sedative, a reporter (Gregory Peck) rescues her and pretends to be unaware of her identity as he shows her the town, all the while sneaking pictures for his breaking story about his day with the princess. Even if you’re not into romantic, old movies, see this one for the scenery of Rome alone.

1. Breakfast at Tiffany’s: The classic Hepburn film about the somewhat nutty party girl finding herself with the help of her new neighbor. Breakfast at Tiffany’s is a movie filled with laughs and romance. It has a permanent home in my computer, phone and iPod because of its knack for cheering me up on the worst days. Hepburn’s best and most famous film has the ability to make you wish life really was like the movies.
