In 2006, 29 years after the Hollywood icon’s passing, Audrey Hepburn was voted the most beautiful woman of all time by the British magazine New Woman.
Gregory Peck, her acting partner in her first Hollywood film, said in a Gero von Böhm documentary about her: “I was the happiest person in the world when I had the privilege of being her partner in her first Hollywood film. For six wonderful months, we shot in Rome. That was in 1952. The film is the story of a princess who is incognito in the city to escape her official duties. She meets a journalist, falls in love with him, but in the end, she sacrifices that love and resumes her duties as a future queen. And he returns to his newspaper job. No doubt, the princess has become a queen in real life as well. One of the most popular, talented, intelligent, sensitive, and charming actresses and friends of my life.”
