Born Audrey Kathleen Ruston in Belgium in May 1929, Audrey Hepburn has become an iconic film actress since her first lead role in 1953's Roman Holiday, for which she won an Oscar. Hepburn moved on to star in films such as My Fair Lady and Breakast at Tiffany's that have made her a role model and revered favorite among many movie lovers well past her death in January 1993. One of the best ways to honor this beloved actress is to have a movie marathon in her honor.
