The US Postal Service issued a new stamp in their Legends of Hollywood series on June 11. It honors the late actress Audrey Hepburn (1929-93), one of the most popular film stars of the late 20th century. Born Edda van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston in Brussels, she was the daughter of a Dutch baroness and an English banker who walked out on the family in 1935. She spent World War II in often dire condi-tions in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands. In her last years Hepburn worked tirelessly as a roving ambas-sador for UNICEF. |
