Audrey Hepburn: life after film

Audrey Hepburn’s greatest legacy is possibly not the graceful imprint left on the history of the silver screen, but her work with UNICEF towards the latter years of her life in the 1980s. Her premature passing in 1993 from abdominal cancer after years of philanthropic work took away one of the most iconic Goodwill Ambassadors ever to work with UNICEF. Here’s a peek into Hepburn’s style after a luminous career in film.
