From confirmed biopics on Cher, Marie Antoinette and, most recently, Lady Gaga’s captivating performance as Patrizia Reggiani in House Of Gucci – it seems as though films centring on the life of one well-known person are (thankfully) here to stay. Now, another confirmed biopic will be coming to our screens as Apple has announced it will be backing a film all about Audrey Hepburn. With Rooney Mara confirmed to play the icon, we can’t wait to see how the life of the Breakfast At Tiffany’s actor will translate onto the screen.

While exact details of the film’s content are yet to be revealed, we’re certain that the biopic will centre on Hepburn’s Oscar-winning career but also, her legacy in other realms. Starring in iconic films such as My Fair Lady, Funny Face, Sabrina and Roman Holiday, she was also a notable fashion icon who became French designer Hubert de Givenchy’s muse. As well as the glitz and glamour that came with her life, Hepburn also made charity work an incredible focus in her later years. Effectively retiring from acting in the 80s, she focused on humanitarian work and worked closely with Unicef to help children in Africa, South America and Asia. She went on to receive the presidential medal of freedom in 1992.
