ArtMuse shares a special episode from “The Stars of the Golden Age”, a podcast that dives into the lives of your favorite Old Hollywood stars. In this episode, host Erin Carlson shares the incredible life story of the actress, fashion icon, and humanitarian Audrey Hepburn. From Audrey’s beginnings in Belgium, to her work with the resistance in World War II, to her discovery by director William Wyler who cast her in Roman Holiday and catapulted her into stardom, and finally, to her incredible work as a humanitarian in her later age, Audrey’s life-story is nothing short of remarkable. Audrey Hepburn was photographed by some of the most iconic photographers of the 20th century, such as Cecil Beaton, Richard Avedon, and Philippe Halsman. And of course, pop artist Andy Warhol created a series of portraits of Audrey, which reproduced her famous image from Breakfast at Tiffany’s onto various high contrast backgrounds. Audrey Hepburn fits in perfectly with Season Three of ArtMuse, which focuses on artist models who were performers in their own right.
