Depending on how one defines "famous", Audrey Hepburn won the Oscar/Academy Award as Best Actress in a Leading Role for the movie, Roman Holiday. The movie was extremely popular, and actually won 3 Oscars, altogether.
Audrey Hepburn has been tag-lined or synonymous with several wonderful movies, all of which are considered "classics", as her success and the success of each of the following movies, are interdependent.
Roman Holiday was the first of her string of successful and "famous" movies. Winning Audrey an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role, and Best Writing Motion Picture Story, as well as, Edith Head for Best Costume Design. The Oscar for Best Writing was actually a subject of scandal and controversy, as the Oscar was originally given to Ian McKellan Hunter, who actually "fronted" for the real writer, Dalton Trumbo. Trumbo was "blacklisted" in Hollywood, and removed from the movie credits. The Oscar was posthumously presented to Trumbo's widow on May 10th, 1993, after the Academy decided to correct the records.
Sabrina is also one of Audrey's more famous movies, made the year after Roman Holiday. It was very popular, and has been remade. Sabrina was nominated for 7 Oscars, and won 1, in 1954.
Funny Face is another classic Audrey Hepburn film, which was well received but not quite as popular as Roman Holiday, and Sabrina. Funny Face was nominated for 4 Oscars in 1957.
The Nun's Story garnered Audrey's 3 nomination for an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role, and was nominated for 8 Oscars, altogether. The movie was popular, and compellingly touching, and moving.
Breakfast at Tiffany's - Audrey and the movie introduced at least 5 new cliches into the media, which are still associated with Audrey and the title (book and movie), today.

Audrey's next 3 films, made in the mid 60's were all enormously popular, and all nominated for Oscars.
Charade and Wait Until Dark - were classic thrillers in which Audrey demonstrated her versatile acting abilities when playing "victims" in both films, and keeping the viewer on the edge of their seats, the whole way through.
My fair Lady - was another classic successfully written for film but borrowed from the stage, based on George Bernard Shaw's play "Pygmalion: A Romance in Five Acts". This movie too was very popular, and won 8 Oscars! Surprisingly, Audrey was not nominated for an Oscar for her Leading role as Eliza Doolittle.
