Read the story
Before the camera found Audrey Hepburn, she dreamed of becoming a ballerina.
As a girl in the Netherlands, Hepburn trained seriously in ballet during the difficult years of World War II.
Her height and the physical effects of wartime malnutrition limited her chances of becoming a principal dancer.
She changed direction, became a film star and later devoted major energy to UNICEF.
The detail is memorable because it changes the usual picture of Audrey Hepburn. Fame makes a life look inevitable; the real story is often built from curiosity, wrong turns and decisions nobody could recognise as important at the time.
Performance grows from preparation, experimentation and the courage to adapt.
