Audrey Hepburn's sister

====

Ella Hepburn-Ruston was the Dutch baronness mother of Audrey Hepburn, who was born Audrey Kathleen Ruston (1929-1993). Audrey's father was Joseph Anthony Hepburn-Ruston who was an English banker. During the war Audrey Hepburn's name was changed to Edda Hepburn by her mother Ella, to hide her strong British name, probably saving her daughter. While visiting her mother in the Netherlands, Adolph Hitler invaded the town where Ella Hepburn-Ruston was living, . Audrey was unable to leave the Netherlands until after the end of the war.
