Audrey Hepburn rare portraits to go on display in Proud Galleries exhibition

1/6

Rare portraits of screen icon Audrey Hepburn will go on display in a new exhibition at Proud Galleries.

Audrey Hepburn: Beyond the Screen will explore how different photographers were able to capture the star’s distinct look away from her roles on film.

Photography by Terry O’Neill, Norman Parkinson, Bob Willoughby, Eva Sereny, Mark Shaw and Douglas Kirkland will all be featured in the exhibition, which marks 25 years since Hepburn’s death at the age of 63.

They captured her instantly recognisable look and charm through various points in her life and career, from her first leading film role in Roman Holiday in 1953 to her final film, Always, made in 1989.

Hepburn starred in over 25 Hollywood classics after being spotted by a talent scout in London in 1950. She had moved to the capital following the occupation of her family’s home town in Netherlands during the Second World War.

She also became known for her philanthropic and humanitarian works; following her death, her sons set up the Audrey Hepburn Children’s Fund in her memory.
