• 12. Her feet were larger than you'd expect. Despite her small frame, Hepburn actually wore a size 10 in shoes. "I'd like to be not so flat-chested," she once said. "I'd like not to have such angular shoulders, such big feet, and such a big nose." She reportedly also bought her signature ballet flats half a size larger to avoid a squeezed-in look.
• She had a pet baby deer named Pippin (and nicknamed 'Ip'). According to AnOther magazine, on the set of her 1959 film Green Mansions the animal trainer suggested Hepburn take the deer home with so that it would follow her on-screen. The fawn became her sidekick and even went with her to the supermarket.
• To try to keep her mind off things and give her some enjoyment, during the war, Audrey practiced Ballet. From a young age, she had always wanted to be a premier ballerina. After the war she was told she could not be a ballerina because she was too tall and her feet was too big. Her dreams were crushed and starting modeling to raise money.
• "Her parents were Nazi sympathizers. While Hepburn boldly supported the resistance (see above), her father, who abandoned her when she was a little girl, and her mother, Ella, were members of the British Union of Fascists, according to Biography.com. Fortunately for Hepburn, this was little-known in the 1950s as it would have been disastrous for her image."
• She's a member of the EGOT club. One of 14 people in the world, she's won an Emmy (hosting Gardens of the World with Audrey Hepburn), a Grammy (spoken word album Audrey Hepburn's Enchanted Tales), an Oscar (best actress in Roman Holiday), and a Tony (best actress in Ondine).
