Who is Audrey Hepburn?

Audrey Hepburn is widely recognized as one of the most iconic actresses of the 20th century. But before she became a Hollywood legend, she was already making waves in the world of fashion and advertising. In 1950, Hepburn appeared in a series of commercials for a British chocolate company called Cadbury's. The ads were broadcast on British television and were the first of many commercial appearances for the young star.

Hepburn's unique beauty and effortless charm made her a natural fit for advertising campaigns. She lent her image to a wide range of products, including cigarettes, soap, and perfume. But perhaps her most famous commercial appearances were for the luxury brand Givenchy. Hepburn was a close personal friend of the designer and often wore his clothing both on and off screen. In the 1960s, she became the face of Givenchy's new fragrance, L’Interdit, and her image continues to be associated with the brand to this day.

Hepburn's popularity as a commercial actor was not limited to her glamorous style and striking good looks. She was also known for her intelligence and quirky sense of humor, which made her a favorite of audiences around the world. And while her film career would eventually eclipse her commercial work, Hepburn remained committed to the art of advertising throughout her life. She once said, "What I am is a commercial actress. That is a talent in itself. And I am proud of it."
