As I sit here drinking my morning black coffee out of my “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” mug, I can not help but think about how big my dreams are and if they are even possible. It is a rainy Sunday morning here in New Jersey, and I have not been sleeping well. I feel very lost lately, and while I am blessed with options and opportunities, I am lost in which path to choose.
“Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is a classic movie that features my personal favorite icon Audrey Hepburn. If you have not seen this movie, I highly recommend it! Audrey Hepburn is much more than just an actress in a movie; to me, she is one of the most beautiful, classy and inspiring ladies in history.
Audrey Hepburn was born in Ixelles, Brussels, Belgium in 1929. Her parents divorced. She suffered from depression and malnutrition during the Nazi occupation. She attended ballet school and later started her modeling career. She became an actress and became a huge success after moving to America. Throughout her life, she was married, had a son, divorced, remarried and had a second son. From 1988 until 1993, Audrey Hepburn was a special ambassador to the United Nations UNICEF fund. She passed away in 1993 due to appendicular cancer. (This information was gathered from: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000030/bio)
