Audrey Hepburn is
being commemorated in a new exhibition that features 35 rare photographs
of the timeless screen legend. Audrey Hepburn: Portraits of an Icon celebrates
the beginning of Hepburn’s career 65 years ago, when she first appeared on
stage at London
nightclub Ciro’s, and the featured images are on loan from her sons Sean
Hepburn Ferrer and Luca Dotti. They will be on display at London ’s National Portrait
Galleryfrom July 2 to Oct. 18.
Some of the shots are
previously unseen, like a photograph of the future star at age 13 taking part
in a ballet recital. Other candid shots show Hepburn walking her dog in 1950,
on location in the Congo
for A Nun’s Story, doing a costume test for her 1953 hitSabrina, and in
her Broadway dressing room during the run ofGigi.
