Breakfast at Tiffany’s: The Story of America’s Sweetheart, Audrey Hepburn

Age is Just a Number

Hepburn was lucky enough to have starred in some of the greatest films of her time, and more often than not, she co-starred with leading men who were quite a bit older than her. For instance, Humphrey Bogart in ‘Sabrina’ was 29 years older than Hepburn at the time.

Then there was Fred Astaire who she starred alongside in ‘Funny Face,’ who was also 29 years older than her. And then there was the dear Cary Grant in the movie ‘Charade’ who was 25 years older. That’s quite an age gap if you ask me!

Sabrina was about a chauffeur’s daughter (Audrey Hepburn) who returns home from two years in Paris and immediately catches the attention of a man named David (William Holden), who was the playboy son of her father’s rich employers.
