Every now and then, Hollywood is graced with a truly standout individual who, for whatever mixture of reasons, stands head and shoulders above the rest. They are the enduring icons, and the ones who remains classics of the silver screen even decades after their departure. No other actress fits the role more definitively than Audrey Hepburn.

For an actress who wasn't even first choice for the role, it was a hell of an entrance to make.
