Things Work in Mysterious Ways
Hepburn helped the Resistance during the War in more ways than one. While performing ballet was one way to help out, she also lent a helping hand in the hospitals. When she was 16, she was a volunteer nurse at a Dutch hospital during the War.

To add an interesting twist to her tale, she helped nurse a young British paratrooper by the name of Terence Young back to health. He eventually went on to become a director, and even directed Hepburn in the movie ‘Wait Until Dark.’
The film is a suspense thriller and Hepburn played the part of a terrorized blind woman. The movie was filmed on the brink of her divorce, and it was difficult for her, as her husband Mel Ferrer was its producer. She even lost fifteen pounds under the stress she endured.
