Audrey Hepburn was a Belgian-born actress. Born Audrey Kathleen Ruston in Brussels she was the daughter of Joseph Anthony Ruston, a British banker & Baroness Ella van Heemstra, a Dutch aristocrat descended from French & English kings. Her father appended the name Hepburn to his surname & Audrey became Audrey Hepburn-Ruston at the same time. She had two half-brothers, Alexander & Ian Quarles van Ufford, by her mothers first marriage to a Dutch nobleman. Hepburn attended private schools in England & the Netherlands, but after the 1935 divorce of her parents she was living with her mother at Arnhem when the German invasion & occupation of World War II occurred. At that time she adopted the pseudonym Edda Van Heemstra, modifying her mothers documents to do so, because an English-sounding name was considered dangerous. It was never her legal name. . After the landing of the Allied Forces on D-Day, things grew worse under the German occupiers. Posters Of Audrey Hepburn
