Trapped in black and white, historical figures often seem just that — historical. But colorized portraits remind us that these famous people from the past were real human beings with hopes, fears, and dreams. However, adding color to historical photos is easier said than done.
Audrey Hepburn
Audrey Hepburn rose to superstardom after the release of the 1953 movie Roman Holiday — where she stunned audiences with her elegant beauty. Soon, Hepburn became the epitome of Hollywood glamour.
"You looked around and suddenly there was this dazzling creature looking like a wild-eyed doe prancing in the forest," remarked Billy Wilder, a director who worked with Hepburn. "Everybody on the set was in love within five minutes."
But Hepburn didn't rest on her laurels. She also became involved with goodwill organizations like UNICEF.
In 1991, two years before her death, Hepburn said of her charitable works: "I just decided to do as much as possible in the time that I'm still up to it."
