Life After Acting

In 1987, Audrey was given the role of a lifetime. She succeeded Danny Kaye as Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF. A journalist is quoted, "Audrey Hepburn fed our insatiable movie vantasites with exquisite finesse - rarely, if ever, letting us down, When she felt she had given enough she began to live for herself, an in living for herself she gave hope and inspriation to others who knew nothin of her legend". Most importantly, Audrey's concencerns were for the children. Her son is quoted as saying her last thoughts were of the starving children in Somalia. She died in 1993 of colon cancer George Peppard's reactio was, "a silver bell has now been silenced". It was Audrey's talent but also her personality that sets her apart and will have her revered forever.
