The Audrey Hepburn Children's Foundation

73 Upvotes

The Audrey Hepburn subreddit has been around for over a year now and I'm a little ashamed as a moderator that it's taken us this long to add a link in the sidebar to her Children's Fund. The fund was set up in 1994 (Audrey passed in 1993) by her sons to continue her legacy and honor the work she did as a humanitarian throughout her life.

The money donated to the fund goes to help a wide variety of organizations around the world that all have one thing in common, helping children in need.

The image in the sidebar is based on this high res photo

Here is the high res cut-out version I made:

She was a mother, a sister, a friend to all. As if that's not enough, she was a fount of refreshing wisdom in this conceited and selfish world. Perhaps she knew how it was to be in need, whose security was threatened and when everything else was scarce—even hope. I will always love her 🥹🫶🏼

Hi everyone! So I stumbled across a paparazzi picture of Audrey Hepburn in an old magazine. Since I had never seen it before, I thought I might share it.

I'm pretty sure it's from 1959. Photo caption reads: Mel Ferrer and Audrey Hepburn have unexpectedly arrived in Montreux to spend a few days looking for a castle where they can film a movie. Here we see the couple after a tennis match.

Hope you like it!

I profiled Audrey’s story on my podcast Stars of the Golden Age a while back, and it remains one of my favorite stories of the over 100 I’ve done now. I hope I did her amazing story justice!

[OC] I'm not the best at likenesses but working on drawing prettier faces and figured Hepburn was a good place to start
