1929年，赫本出生于比利时布鲁塞尔，她当时的名字是奥德丽·路斯顿。她是一名英国人和一名丹麦贵族唯一的孩子。她在英格兰上了私立学校。1935年，她的父母离婚，父亲离开了她。他的离去成为了赫本一生中最难过的时刻。二战之后，赫本在伦敦学习了芭蕾。
Audrey was too tall to be a ballerina and went into acting. In 1951, her first big break came when she starred as Gigi in a London theatre. She won an award and lots of publicity. Her second break came two years later in the movie classic ‘Roman Holiday’, for which she won an Oscar for best actress.
