Born into a privileged life, and privately educated, hardship fell upon the star when she and her mother, Ella van Heemstra, were vacationing in Holland. It was during the Second World War when the town they were visiting was overtaken by the Nazis. Hepburn, like millions of others, nearly starved when the Nazis cut off food supplies.

A ballet dancer at the time, Time reported she said: "I did indeed give various underground concerts to raise money for the Dutch Resistance movement.

"The recitals were given in houses with windows and doors closed, and no one knew they were going on."

Post-war, the ballet dancer returned to London, where she studied, and a producer saw the talent Hepburn could have for film.

The Belgium award-winning star is best known for classics such as Roman Holiday (1953), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), and My Fair Lady (1964).
