Audrey Hepburn was a British actress and humanitarian. Following roles in classic movies like Breakfast at Tiffany’s and My Fair Lady, she is one of few to have earned Academy, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Awards. Later on in life, Hepburn received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of her work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. The world widely regards her as one of the most influential actresses of all time.

Rooney Mara will step into rather large shoes when she embodies a cinematic icon. However, she touts her own success as well. Mara is a two-time Oscar nominee thanks to her incredible work in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Carol. Moreover, the actress recently appeared alongside Bradley Cooper in 2021’s Nightmare Alley. Up next, Mara joins Frances McDormand and Ben Whishaw in Sarah Polley’s Women Talking movie adaptation.
