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

A Behind the Scenes Romance with Her Costar

Before the time she starred in the movie ‘Sabrina,’ Hepburn was already named America’s Sweetheart. She was that sweet and attractive, talented young woman who popped up on screens and made people smile. But the public didn’t know anything about her relationship with her costar William Holden. Their strong on-screen chemistry quickly turned into an off-screen affair. America’s sweetheart was getting involved in not so sweet things.

Holden was known for being something of a ladies man, and his wife, Ardis, actually tolerated his misdeeds, writing them off as meaningless flings. Believe it or not, Holden would even introduce his wife to his mistresses. But when it came to Hepburn, Ardis realized that the glamorous young actress was a threat to their marriage.
