Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What name is listed on Audrey's birth certificate?

Answer: Audrey Kathleen Ruston

The name on her birth certificate reads "Audrey Kathleen Ruston", but after the war, her father found out about the Hepburn part of his family. He then added Hepburn to his name and Audrey's.

According to "Audrey Hepburn: An Elegant Spirit", by Sean Ferrer (her son), this was her real name, although previous sources and biographies claim it was Edda. Sean explains that her mother sometimes used Edda so she would not sound "so British" while they lived in Holland.

2. Audrey's mother was a Baroness.

Answer: True

She was the Dutch Baroness Ella van Heemstra.

3. What was the name of Audrey's first fiance?

Answer: James Hanson

Audrey's mother didn't approve; she thought that he would hold her back from her new career as an actress.

4. For what reason was Audrey not successful as a ballet dancer?

Answer: She was too tall

She dreamed of becoming a ballerina, a dream that kept her going through WWII. During the war, she studied at the Arnhem Conservatory of Music, and after the war, at Notting Hill Gate School in England. Unfortunately, at 5'7" most people thought Audrey was too tall to be a dancer.

5. During which movie did Audrey begin her lifelong partnership and friendship with designer Hubert de Givenchy?

Answer: "Sabrina" (1954)

Edith Head designed for "Roman Holiday" and Maria de Matteis designed for "War and Peace". Audrey was sent to Givenchy to find outfits for "Sabrina." He was only told that "Miss Hepburn" was coming, and expected Katherine Hepburn! But they soon became friends, and remained so for life.

6. What was the name of the Broadway play that starred both Audrey and Mel Ferrer?

Answer: Ondine

She never acted on the Broadway production of "My Fair Lady", and "Sauce Tartare" was not on Broadway. Her Broadway debut was "Gigi", but "Ondine" is the only one in which she appeared with Mel. Audrey won a Tony Award for her performance, and she married Mel not long afterwards, on September 25, 1954.

7. In what year was Audrey's first son, Sean Ferrer, born?

Answer: 1960

Sean was born on July 17, 1960, in Lucerne, Switzerland.

8. Audrey had a Yorkshire Terrior named Mr. Famous. Sadly, he was killed when he ran out into traffic. Mel Ferrer tried to console her by buying her another Terrier. What did they name it?

Answer: Assam of Assam

Mel had given Mr. Famous to Audrey as a present during the filming of "Love in the Afternoon". Mr. Famous was killed just after "The Children's Hour" was released in 1962.

9. Did Audrey ever co-star with an animal?

Answer: Yes

In "Green Mansions" (1959) she co-starred with not only Anthony Perkins, but also a fawn named Ip. She took care of it starting early on in its life, so it would come to trust her during filming.

10. Was Audrey's voice dubbed for the "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (1961) scene in which her character sings "Moon River"?

Answer: No

Audrey's voice was perfect for the song; light and airy. But her voice wasn't deemed strong enough for "My Fair Lady" (1964) where it was dubbed.
