A Career Hiatus
Like we mentioned earlier, it took a long time for Hepburn to get pregnant. But when she finally got pregnant in 1967, she decided to take a hiatus from acting so that she could raise her sons. But taking a hiatus as a successful actress can really take a toll on your resume as well as your bank account.

While she was spending her time raising her sons at home, she was offered roles in a whole bunch of films, including ‘Goodbye, Mr. Chips,’ ‘Nicholas and Alexandra,’ ‘The Exorcist,’ and ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ to name a few. But she turned them all down. Being a good mom was her priority. And we love her all the more for it.
