How To Steal a Million – 1966
How to Steal a Million is a riot of a heist comedy. Hepburn stars alongside Peter O’Toole (Lawrence of Arabia) and Eli Wallach (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly). Hepburn plays the daughter of an art collector who forges and sells famous paintings. One night, she surprises a burglar (O’Toole) and befriends him to protect her father’s shady dealings.

Hepburn employs the burglar to steal the piece to avoid the museum uncovering it as a fake, which she participates in, and hilarity ensues.
How to Steal a Million is one of the funniest Audrey Hepburn films, and as always, she absolutely shines. In addition, the on-screen rapport with Peter O’Toole makes this a must-watch classic.

Based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, My Fair Lady is an iconic musical that tells the story of Professor Henry Higgins’ attempt to transform common flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a lady. Sir Rex Harrison reprises his stage role at the pompous Professor Higgins, and Hepburn exudes sophistication as Eliza. Full of wonderful sets, songs, laughs, and many iconic movie lines, My Fair Lady was the most expensive film made in the U.S. at the time and took home 8 Academy Awards.
Audrey Hepburn had big shoes to fill stepping into the role of Eliza Doolittle, who Dame Julie Andrews played on stage. Despite losing out on the Academy Award (which went to Andrews for Mary Poppins), there’s no question that Audrey Hepburn is a star.

Green Mansions was based on a novel of the same name and featured Hepburn as a young woman living in the jungles of Venezuela. A young man fleeing a revolution ends up meeting her in the jungle, and a romance develops. This film is somewhat like Tarzan, except the roles are reversed. It was an odd role for Hepburn that diverged from all her previous ones but is unique nonetheless and showcases a widening repertoire for the actress.
The Nun’s Story – 1959
The Nun’s Story is about a young woman who leaves a wealthy Belgium family to become a nun. The story follows her devotion struggles against a backdrop of conflict in the years leading up to World War II.

The Unforgiven – 1960
The Unforgiven is a western film about racism against Native Americans, which was unusual for the period. The film centers around the Zachary family, their neighbors on the Texas frontier, and tensions with a nearby Kiowa tribe. Hepburn plays Rachel, the adopted daughter of the Zachary’s, and Burt Lancaster plays Ben, her older brother. Tensions rise when it is revealed that Rachel was taken as an infant from the Kiowa.
Although Hepburn plays an indigenous woman, which she is obviously not, the film does attempt to highlight issues of racism against Native Americans and face some of those topics head-on. This is also Audrey Hepburn’s first and only western film.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s – 1961
Breakfast at Tiffany’s is thought of as Hepburn’s most iconic role. She plays Holly Golightly, a New York socialite who falls for a struggling writer who moves into her building.

The film opens with a taxi pulling up in front of Tiffany and Co., where Holly emerges carrying her breakfast in a paper bag so that she can peruse the displays.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s was a huge success, and the film was nominated for 5 Academy Awards, including another Best Actress nomination for Hepburn. It is easily Hepburn’s most recognized role, and the film has also been selected to be preserved in the National Film Registry due to its cultural, historical, or aesthetical significance.
The Children’s Hour – 1961
On the heels of Breakfast at Tiffany’s came The Children’s Hour, a completely different film. Hepburn stars opposite Shirley MacLaine, James Garner, and Fay Bainter in her final film role.

Charade – 1963
The star-studded cast of Charade features Hepburn along with Cary Grant, Walter Matthau, and James Coburn. Hepburn plays a widow pursued by multiple men who believe her recently murdered husband had stolen a fortune.

Paris When It Sizzles – 1964
Paris When It Sizzles is yet another romantic comedy. The film follows Richard Benson, a screenwriter who has been living it up in Paris instead of completing his latest project.

My Fair Lady – 1964
Based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, My Fair Lady is an iconic musical that tells the story of Professor Henry Higgins’ attempt to transform common flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a lady. Sir Rex Harrison reprises his stage role at the pompous Professor Higgins, and Hepburn exudes sophistication as Eliza. Full of wonderful sets, songs, laughs, and many iconic movie lines, My Fair Lady was the most expensive film made in the U.S. at the time and took home 8 Academy Awards.
Audrey Hepburn had big shoes to fill stepping into the role of Eliza Doolittle, who Dame Julie Andrews played on stage. Despite losing out on the Academy Award (which went to Andrews for Mary Poppins), there’s no question that Audrey Hepburn is a star.
How To Steal a Million – 1966
How to Steal a Million is a riot of a heist comedy. Hepburn stars alongside Peter O’Toole (Lawrence of Arabia) and Eli Wallach (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly). Hepburn plays the daughter of an art collector who forges and sells famous paintings. One night, she surprises a burglar (O’Toole) and befriends him to protect her father’s shady dealings. Unfortunately, one of her fathers’ fake pieces is displayed in a museum, and therefore subject to examination. Hepburn employs the burglar to steal the piece to avoid the museum uncovering it as a fake, which she participates in, and hilarity ensues.
How to Steal a Million is one of the funniest Audrey Hepburn films, and as always, she absolutely shines. In addition, the on-screen rapport with Peter O’Toole makes this a must-watch classic.
Two for the Road – 1967
Two for the Road is a British comedy/drama film that follows a couple on a road trip who remember the good and the bad of their decade-long marriage through flashbacks.

On the heels of Breakfast at Tiffany’s came The Children’s Hour, a completely different film. Hepburn stars opposite Shirley MacLaine, James Garner, and Fay Bainter in her final film role. The film follows two college classmates who open a private school for girls, but things take a turn for the worse after one of the girls accuses the friends of being lovers.
Hepburn demonstrates her versatility as an actress. She and MacLaine were praised for their performances, and the film was nominated for 5 Academy Awards.
Charade – 1963
The star-studded cast of Charade features Hepburn along with Cary Grant, Walter Matthau, and James Coburn. Hepburn plays a widow pursued by multiple men who believe her recently murdered husband had stolen a fortune.
Charade is known as a film of many genres. There are aspects of romance, comedy, and suspense. The many plot twists and casting of Cary Grant led many to think Alfred Hitchcock had directed the film, and Charade has been dubbed “the best Hitchcock film Hitchcock never made.”
Paris When It Sizzles – 1964
Paris When It Sizzles is yet another romantic comedy. The film follows Richard Benson, a screenwriter who has been living it up in Paris instead of completing his latest project. Hepburn plays a temporary secretary Benson has hired to type the script, but instead, she helps him complete it in time for the two-day deadline.
My Fair Lady – 1964
Based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, My Fair Lady is an iconic musical that tells the story of Professor Henry Higgins’ attempt to transform common flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a lady. Sir Rex Harrison reprises his stage role at the pompous Professor Higgins, and Hepburn exudes sophistication as Eliza. Full of wonderful sets, songs, laughs, and many iconic movie lines, My Fair Lady was the most expensive film made in the U.S. at the time and took home 8 Academy Awards.
Audrey Hepburn had big shoes to fill stepping into the role of Eliza Doolittle, who Dame Julie Andrews played on stage. Despite losing out on the Academy Award (which went to Andrews for Mary Poppins), there’s no question that Audrey Hepburn is a star.
How To Steal a Million – 1966
How to Steal a Million is a riot of a heist comedy. Hepburn stars alongside Peter O’Toole (Lawrence of Arabia) and Eli Wallach (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly). Hepburn plays the daughter of an art collector who forges and sells famous paintings. One night, she surprises a burglar (O’Toole) and befriends him to protect her father’s shady dealings. Unfortunately, one of her fathers’ fake pieces is displayed in a museum, and therefore subject to examination. Hepburn employs the burglar to steal the piece to avoid the museum uncovering it as a fake, which she participates in, and hilarity ensues.
How to Steal a Million is one of the funniest Audrey Hepburn films, and as always, she absolutely shines. In addition, the on-screen rapport with Peter O’Toole makes this a must-watch classic.
Two for the Road – 1967
Two for the Road is a British comedy/drama film that follows a couple on a road trip who remember the good and the bad of their decade-long marriage through flashbacks.
We see a bit of a new side of Hepburn in this film. She has a different hairstyle, and her attire is more of an everyday woman than a movie star.
Wait Until Dark – 1967
In a complete break from any of her prior films, Hepburn plays a blind woman terrorized by criminals in this psychological thriller. Wait Until Dark has murder, suspense, and a doll stuffed with a fortune in drugs.

Green Mansions – 1959
Green Mansions was based on a novel of the same name and featured Hepburn as a young woman living in the jungles of Venezuela.

Hepburn plays Rachel, the adopted daughter of the Zachary’s, and Burt Lancaster plays Ben, her older brother. Tensions rise when it is revealed that Rachel was taken as an infant from the Kiowa.
Although Hepburn plays an indigenous woman, which she is obviously not, the film does attempt to highlight issues of racism against Native Americans and face some of those topics head-on. This is also Audrey Hepburn’s first and only western film.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s – 1961
Breakfast at Tiffany’s is thought of as Hepburn’s most iconic role. She plays Holly Golightly, a New York socialite who falls for a struggling writer who moves into her building. Both have a difficult past, but Paul finds himself drawn into Holly’s superficial world, punctuated by frequent visits to the Tiffany & Co. jewelry store. The film opens with a taxi pulling up in front of Tiffany and Co., where Holly emerges carrying her breakfast in a paper bag so that she can peruse the displays.
