The program notes for Los Angeles County Art Museum’s series Audrey Hepburn: Then, Now and Forever start with a quote from the celebrated actress stating, “My career is a complete mystery to me.” Mystery is the quintessential word for a star whose characters are never what they seem, whose beauty is always more than the sum of their parts, even whose accent seems impossible to trace. Born in the Netherlands as Audrey Kathleen Ruston, Hepburn grew up to become a dancer and model, only turning to films to make some extra money. After a few films, and a major stage role in Gigi, Hepburn was cast as the lead in William Wyler’s Roman Holiday, a role that catapulted her to world attention and won her an Academy Award. While the series does not include this film, or her other star-making role in Funny Face, its six films highlight her diversity as an actress. Of course there are the light comedies and romances, like Sabrina, My Fair Lady and Charade. But there are also her more dramatic roles: as the blind woman under attack in Wait Until Dark and the woman of mystery in Billy Wilder’s sophisticated Love in the Afternoon.
