10 Things You Didn't Know About Audrey Hepburn

But regardless, she never quite understood why she had become so revered as a style icon. Despite her long list of Hollywood accolades, she was quoted as saying, €œI never thought I€™d land in pictures with a face like mine.€ Know any more surprising facts about Audrey Hepburn?
