Ms Hepburn, besides being beautiful, talented & haute couture, was also fr 1988 until her premature death a UNICEF ambassador. She traveled the world from Biafra to Ecuador, Somalia to Guatemalia, publicizing the plight of the world's impoverished children. She did God's work. Ph by Douglas Kirkland

As we enter the twenty-first century,people still live in abject poverty,people still struggle to survive.And we see the children, always the children: their enlarged bellies, their sad eyes, their faces that show the suffering, all the suffering they have endured in their short yrs.--AUDREY HEPBURN

GEORGE HURRELL created immortal images of almost all the screen’s great stars. His use of dramatic poses, sharp focus, high-contrast lighting and masterful printing techniques created a new look for Hollywood portraiture, inspiring the label “glamour photography.”

YIMOU ZHANG: To create art, one must always remember that the subject of people in misery has the deepest meaning, the deepest resonance. Human beings in misery constitute the most important subject of art, be it film art or any other kind. That’s because strength is born from such suffering
