Audrey Hepburn was born in Brussels and spent most of her childhood at boarding school in England. The years during World War II were the hardest. Her family moved to Holland and Nazis invaded the country when she was eleven years old. As a result, Hepburn almost starved to death and survived by eating nettles and tulip bulbs. According to The New York Times, she may have been a war hero.
The Times reports that Hepburn and her family joined the resistance in Nazi-occupied Holland. She helped deliver important messages. It’s possible that this experience sparked her deep dedication to humanitarianism.
