Best Answer

Reinvention of herself. She changed her look, and apparenly her name quite often. This is similar to Madonna's forever changing herself. If you look at her pictures from 20 years ago, 10 years ago, and now... it's not the same girl. Audrey is quite the same. She built herself up to the classicly beautiful icon known as Audrey Hepburn.

Audrey was born Audrey Ruston, then her father added Hepburn to his name which meant that legally she was then Audrey Hepburn-Ruston, when she started acting she dropped Ruston. Troughout her career she acted under the same name. When she married she took her husband's name so is common practise, so she firstly became Audrey Ferrer and then Andrea Dotti. After her second divorce she went back to using her maiden name of Hepburn.

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.
