What is Audrey Hepburn most popular movie?
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 plays Holly, a pretty New York socialite with a very quirky lifestyle, who gives wild cocktail parties, which she hosts wearing her simple black "cocktail" dress, and lives in New York city's Upper East Side.
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.
Wait Until Dark was Audrey's last well known movie, which she made in 1967. Audrey did not make another movie for 9 years. In 1976, she made Robin and Marion, and only 4 other movies between 1976 and 1989.
Julie was not well known for her on-screen appearances, and Mr. Warner wanted someone who would bring in the most money to be the film's star. It was amazing though that they picked looks over talent. Audrey could not sing a note. All her tracks were done by Marni Nixon for the movie version. Julie was the first choice for the role of Eliza Doolittle, but Warner Brothers, which had paid $5 million for the rights to the musical, didn't want to risk a stage actress in the central role of a $17-million film, despite lobbying from Lerner himself.
It is also reported that Jack Warner didn't think Andrews would be photogenic enough. He invited her to do a screen test, but she refused, so he forgot about her altogether.
Did Audrey Hepburn sing Happy Birthday Mr President?
Yes Audrey Hepburn did sing happy birthday to President Kennedy, the year after Marilyn Monroe had.
Cite: Everyone remembers when Marilyn Monroe serenaded President John F. Kennedy on his birthday in 1962. What is often forgotten is that Audrey Hepburn sang "Happy Birthday Mr. President" to JFK for his final birthday in 1963.

Why did Audrey hepburn change her last name?
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.
