Best Answer

She was from a wealthy Belgium family. When her parents divorced her mother moved to London and she was sent to private girls school. Later, her mother moved back to the Netherlands and while they were there Hitler took the town. Audrey fell on hard times at this point. After liberation she got a scholarship to Ballet school and began a modeling career. In 1948 film producers spotted her and by 1951 she had her first speaking role.

Did Audrey hepburn have any brothers or sisters?

No, Katherine Hepburn and Audrey Hepburn were NOT related. This is a very common question. Although they were both great actresses at around the same era, and share the same last name, they are NOT relatives. In fact, Givenchy (a fashion/costume designer and Audrey Hepburn's close friend) was told that he was meeting "Hepburn" for one of Audrey's movies. However, when he found that it was Audrey and not Katherine, he started to leave. See...even HE got mixed up. Later, Audrey and Givenchy developed a steady friendship.
